At dancing rabbit we try to build our houses out of reclaimed and natural materials as much as we possibly can so i m siding my new mudroom with reclaimed p.
Pallet wood tiny house siding.
4 cut each board into nominal foot sizes to be nailed up to the house on runners spaced 1 foot on center 5 run these boards through a table saw to make them a consistent width and also give them a mitered edge to help rain drain away from the house.
For example i have a friend that has disassembled shipping pallets and used the wood to build roof trusses for his straw bale building.
Thankfully my boyfriend can bring a couple of truckfulls of 8 foot pallets from work a week.
Material you need for cabin.
With some creativity you may find that shipping pallets can be reappropriated in other ways to build your own free tiny house.
Thank you for this post it has really helped.
My animal enclosures will also be made of pallets.
This design is reminiscent of a hermit s cabin deep in the woods.
Beefy wood beams for roofing lights.
The glass in the doors and the lower hanging windows doesn t make it ideal for security.
I m planning on building a 250 square foot house and siding it with pallets.
White paint or white wash.
This is still a great place to store small gardening utensils and supplies.
Ultimately you can help prevent deforestation and keep pallets out of landfills by using them to build creative housing.
