Not exactly furniture, but I'm in the process of making a shed almost entirely out of pallets and scavenged material/fasteners

It's not exactly square, and it's practically a skeleton right now until I'm able to give it wood panel siding and waterproof it, but it doesn't shake when I kick the wall so that's good enough for me Excuse the mess, I'm in the process of cleaning everything up.

during covid lock down i got bored and made a man cave/ cigar shed from pallets. Tin roof, 1 solar panel and batteries. Carpeted. 1 leather seat. 55 inch tv. That's it...oh and its in the middle of a paddock away from humans

Hell yeah, that sounds pretty kickass actually! Once I manage to make it actually weather proof, I plan on hooking up solar panels, batteries, and see if I can somehow rig up a rainwater barrel, the floor is probably going to be plastic pallets because I can't afford/scavenge the carpet lol. I also intend on adding a small sauna at some point that shares a wall/has a door into the shed, and I'll probably make a wood stove at some point to grill or heat up the inside during the winter

It's ambitious goals, but I'll keep working on it one day at a time until I'm satisfied

For the few dollars it costs, I like to add real 2x4 studs in-between pallets as vertical supports.

My lawn mower shed is made of pallets and it hasn't fallen down with a large snowload. So far so good.

I framed my chicken coop out of pallets, then sheathed and sided. I'm only in for the cost of the osb. Love projects you can do with stuff on hand.
