PERFECT PALLET FURNITURE

In this step-by-step guide, we show you how to make a beautiful bench using Rust-Oleum Chalky Finish Garden Furniture Paint and wooden pallets.

In just a couple of hours, you can transform three unassuming pallets into a bench for two. Pick any colour you like, and decorate with coordinating cushions for the party-perfect snuggling bench!

What you will need

WhatYouWillNeed

  • Rust-Oleum Chalky Finish Garden Furniture Paint
  • Wooden pallets – Available at Homebase
  • Small roller and tray
  • Paint brush
  • Scatter cushions
  • Electric drill with screws

Steps

  1. Ensure surfaces are smooth, dry and free from contaminants. Take your chosen shade of Rust-Oleum Chalky Finish Garden Furniture Paint and paint the pallets.

    This clever paint requires no priming, is water resistant and is mould and alge resistant too. Use a mini roller for an even finish.

    One to two coats will be needed, and you’ll need to leave the paint to dry for one hour before flipping the pallet over and painting the underside. You might need to use a brush for the harder-to-reach areas.

    Step1

  2. Create the base of your bench by stacking one or more pallets to the right height. When you’re happy, secure them with screws and an electric drill.

    Add another pallet propped in a vertical position create the back of your chair. Again, secure it in place with a drill and screws.
