I used 3/4 plywood for sheeting roffing felt for underlayment then drip edge shingles I found in the garage left over from something. The hole thing was less than $100 us for materiels.
 
That looks real nice. Can you put up some more pictures of it? I might want to copy it if you don't mind.

Certainly I will take some more of them and put them up for you.

Good luck
Pete
Ps You cant copy the beer I made that lol ;-P
 
Nice work Pete and painting it just put a nice touch on it. Most that we see are not painted and of course, not painted means they won't last as long or look as good.
 
Pete that came out great! How big is the floor space? I like how the walls give good airflow too and it would be easy to tarp the sides to keep the rain and snow from onto the wood inside..

Ray, you need to build one of these to put next to your other one.

The wood in there looks great too :)

The pallets are 4*6 side by side in the floor with a spacer in between so the floor is about 50 square ft. The roof is 8 ft in front and 7 ft in the rear.
Tarps are soooooo eazy to hang on this wood shed I am going to put them up with hooks on top and a 2*4 screwed to the bottom. I will try to remember the pics soon. It gets very dark early now so I might not get them up until next weekend.
 
Very nice, I was thinking about picking up a used corn crib for a couple hundred bucks. This looks better, and a little more manageable. +1 on the beer! Thanks for sharing
 
Cool Pete. Nice to see those things get used for something like that. A strange thing, my wife and I drove by a house the other day 3-4 miles from our place and he was building a storage shed, pretty big one, out of pallets. We thought, what the heck? Well, they are free. Makes for a building. Cool. Hope he makes it good and strong. Now I see your wood shed. Very cool. Nice work Pete. Love the color.
 
I like it. Curious how the roof is secured. Any risk of it blowing off?
 
That is a much nicer version of how I use my pallets......I just have it floored, and sides.....looks great
 
Looks really good Pete, did you say the pallets are 4 feet by 6 feet? I have about 30 pallets but they're all 40 inch by 48 inch, maybe I can get creative with them and try to replicate what you have somewhat. Looking forward to more pics for ideas.

I have the roof secured with hurricane straps as well as being nailed in pretty darn tight. So far no blow aways, it has survived some wild weather this year.

Yes the pallets are 4 ft by 6 ft and I used pallets I tore apart for the 2*4's for the rafters in the roof as well as the center support.
 
I think we need to have . . . what was it called . . . Pallet Island photos . . . posted up here and compare the two. ;) Looks very nice . . . and cheaply done. That said . . . I still have a special place in my heart for Pallet Island.
 
Totally stealing this.
