Raised garden:

Kayak rack:

Work benches/storage:

(Don't judge my cluttered garage, that's why I built the benches, it's a work in progress)

And I've still got two pallets left! Plus some random bits and bobs.

Edit: removed some doxing info

Nice. My main workbenches - one for my mitre saw and another for my bandsaw and drill press are both made out of pallets. They're very versatile and pretty durable if kept dry. BTW your garage is pretty tidy compared to my workshop!

I also made display shelving and a counter out of pallet wood for my wife's shop, back in 2019, and I've made planters, trugs and so on. We had to close the shop a couple of years back, because of energy and rent costs going up, and I then re-recycled the shop furniture into a bike shed.

    Bike shed re-using wood from shop fittings. You can see the door is the same as the front of the counter.

    Question, did you build the whole shed first and then cut the door out?

    Looking at the pic again, I guess you might have been asking about the piece above the door - that wood came from the material of the sides of the shop counter. The door height is about equal to the length of the original counter.
