How to Build a Sandbox / Sandpit using Pallet Wood. Using pallet wood is a really easy way to make a sandbox / sandpit and to top things off they're free! This is another one of my reclaimed wood projects that was a heap of fun to make. Like all pallet projects, it is a good idea to use Heat Treated Pallets as they are safe for handling.
With this pallet project, the variations are endless. It's all up your imagination.

You sir are an AMAZING, AWESOME DAD!!!! I'm sure your kiddos loved it!😁

@diyforknuckleheads 10 лет назад

He loved it Octavia. He's already asking when he can invite his friends over for a play.:-) Thanks for the comment. Cheers

You just made the most Luxurious Cat Toilet I've ever seen...at the beginning you were including a Lid and you changed your mind...2 Lids would have equally sufficed and done the same Job at 1/2 the weight...great idea and a Job I'll do...but with a Lid...7 out of 10...could easily have been a 10 ...

@FixitFingers Год назад

What a fun project, both for the kids and the builder... perhaps more for the builder 🤣🤣

@diyforknuckleheads Год назад

😂😂....Yep, l did have fun with this one mate

@alexonlines8533 10 лет назад

Brilliant! I really like the recycling of pallet wood and eventual up-cycling to a garden bed.

@ksaw5562 10 лет назад

Another fantastic video Shane! Awesome tip about the HT=heat treated; I've hesitated using pallets before when I wasn't sure if they'd been chemically treated. Now I can know for sure! Cheers mate.

@diyforknuckleheads 10 лет назад

Thanks Danielle. Yeah we do have a little bit of fun :-) Cheers

@ThePa1nterhowto 10 лет назад

Bloody awesome and something like that should be protected, Seeing as you have a floor and children don't actually touch the ground ,can I suggest a sprinkle of Termidor in the ground to keep the white-ants at bay as white-ants favourite food is pine pallets. Well done Shane

@diyforknuckleheads 10 лет назад

Thanks mate.Good idea regarding the Termidor .Luckily termites are not that common here. Cheers.

@tylerroberts4 10 лет назад

I was concerned about the idea of having a sandbox in the yard after the kids outgrow it. But your suggestion of turning into a garden is absolutely smashing! Great tip knackers!!

@diyforknuckleheads 10 лет назад

Thanks Tyler. Yeah the vege patch idea is going to be good. Cheers mate

I found your channel from looking up "how to repair a hole in drywall" since I'm fixing up my back house and needed a little instruction because my last tenants drove a hole in the wall from a door handle.. I've watched a lot of your other videos.. Proper craftsmanship !! I subbed you mate !! Make sure you're not around when the kids drag their nails across the blackboard !! OUCH !! Your cup of tea = my can of beer..Cheers from Los Angeles !!

Thanks Andy. Hey mate, just out of interest, what was Stevie Jacko wearing on his head at the York Gathering? He is mad…totally mad. Love his Channel.

@smilertiler1 10 лет назад

About that hat!! Stevie's hat was a workmans hard hat adorned with 2 alarm clocks (Paris and New York!!) some, 2 retractable circular shaving mirrors, some curtain tie back tassels and several other things I can't remember. I've met Stevie 4 times now, and lucky enough to own a piece of his artwork. Never a dull moment with Stevie!!

@diyforknuckleheads 10 лет назад

If you see him again, say g'day for me could you? Thanks mate.

@impalax327 10 лет назад

Shane, nice job. Looks superb. The veggie patch in the background looks like it's really going gangbusters too. Looking forward to the next one!

@diyforknuckleheads 10 лет назад

Thanks Chuck. Yeah the veggie patch is going nuts. We have this type of Rocket that grows out of control! Thanks for the comment mate. Cheers

@impalax327 10 лет назад

@elizabethparkinson4455 3 месяца назад

I’m not familiar with power tools at all but are you using a drill, Brad nailer or framing nailer for those awkward tricky places? For example, frame to base?

@ShesSoRandom 10 лет назад

@diyforknuckleheads 10 лет назад

Bobby Wayne I've gotta tell you, the Rocket is out of control. I'm not sure what variety it is but it is unstoppable :-)

@stevegreen5624 4 года назад

Hi knackers great job. Are the long sides made from a bigger pallet or are you joining two together?

@diyforknuckleheads 4 года назад

Thanks Steve!....from memory l think l used a longer pallet. If you can't lay your hands on a longer pallet just join two shorter lengths together....make sure you stagger the joins 👍 Have a good one mate and thanks for watching 👍😁🇦🇺

@Glockman5000 10 лет назад

I always enjoy your videos. Keep them coming. One question: the nail gun you use, can you give a make and model I would like to find one similar if possible in the states.

@diyforknuckleheads 10 лет назад

G'day Glockman. The gun is a Paslode 16 Gauge Bradder which l've had for about 6 years now. It's been a pretty good gun. If you do get one, make sure you keep up all the recommended services. As soon as the gun gets a bit dirty inside, it will start to play up. Hope that helps and thanks for the comment. Cheers mate.

@Glockman5000 10 лет назад

Thanks for the info!

@diyforknuckleheads 10 лет назад

Glockman5000 No worries mate.

@1984SWM Год назад

I was thinking about this but are they coded with some kind of termite or bug and fire retardant?

@diyforknuckleheads Год назад

Go for the ones that have the stamp HT (Heat Treated)

@psnfarcryguy 10 лет назад

Hey man! Can u do a video on making a couch?

@diyforknuckleheads 10 лет назад

There is a possibility of one down the track. I'll add it to the list :-) Cheers

@TommyMcMusic 8 лет назад

Hello mate, im about to do some decking using pallets as my base, not going high just one pallet high off the ground then screwing the decking to the pallets.The pallets will be sat on flags which are on top of leveled, flattened soil which I have covered with landscaping fabric, prior to this i removed the grass, rotavated the whole area, the rake and rolled it. The idea being that the flags will keep the pallets just above the ground so most of the rain water can drain away through the fabric into the earth.So i have a question, did you treat the wood that is touching the ground? The reason I ask is because the last thing I want is the base of my deck to be rotting from beneath haha!

@diyforknuckleheads 8 лет назад

G'day Tommy. Any part of the pallet that touches the ground will rot.....especially the pine pallets. In fact any timber that comes in contact with the ground will rot. It all depends on how long you want the deck to last. Good luck. Cheers mate

@TommyMcMusic 8 лет назад

Thanks for your response mate, i ended up painting the bottoms of the pallets (that which will come into contact with the paving slabs which keep the pallets above the soil) aswell as the support blocks with a front door paint, weatherproof stuff, nice and hardwearing so should hopefully get a little longer out of it with that, someone also suggested bitumen but I had already completed the painting at that point, maybe something i will do later on should the pallets ever need changing, im expecting the pallets to go before the decking planks do

@spppsydney 10 лет назад

How about building a pallet chicken coop next ??

@diyforknuckleheads 10 лет назад

Good idea but there is one little problem…l don't have any chickens:-)

@priteshshah21 8 лет назад

the way you made this looks so easy but too much attention to detail required. I want to make simple sandpit, can you please upload one video showing simple sandpit and a pond too. thanks

@oreotypeshit 7 лет назад

how long did this actually take you? single mom with no building knowledge and want too try and make this for my kids💯

@diyforknuckleheads 7 лет назад

Hi Oreo. It took me a good weekend and that's without sourcing the materials. Good luck and well done on having a go! Cheers 👍

@colsmith7257 10 лет назад

Onya! maaaaaaaaate looks great, your gunna get an offer from one of those life support programs. Shane I really do not want to #$%#$% on your fireworks reusing is the go! But after manufacturing and installing playgrounds for bureaucracy and now being a pesty, what about harbourage for vermin .Who cares about termites, it becomes a good spot to monitor, so in that regard its a good thing ( early warning system ). I did some wheelchair accessible gardens out of custom orb zinc and duragal SHS . Getting cheap flashing is the tricky bit. See you or your ideas on better homes, PS Bunnings import sheds are S@@#$.

@diyforknuckleheads 10 лет назад

G'day Col. Glad you liked the sandpit. Thanks for the comment. Cheers mate.

@audraflores2864 10 лет назад

Love your videos only thing I don't like is your slogan great tip knackers which is loud annoying and ear piercing... But a small price for a good video and ideas. Sorry I was mean.

@diyforknuckleheads 10 лет назад

That's ok Audra. No offence taken. Apart from my slogan l'm glad you like the vids. Cheers

@mcrisok 10 лет назад

Get a grip Audra, that's almost the best bit of the videos, suppose its like Marmite, you either love it or hate it, I'm on the side of loving it :)
