DIY Pallet Pool Storage
Here's how to get organized and put together your own Simple DIY Pallet Pool Storage!
Equipment
- Sandpaper or sander
- Drill
Ingredients
- Pallet
- 2-3 cans Rust-Oleum Painter's Touch 2X 12 oz. Satin General Purpose Spray Paint we used Seaside for the pallet and Magenta for the accents
- 4-6 hooks/double hooks
- Small and medium plastic baskets if desired
- 2 - ⅜ " x 4" Galvanized Hex Bolts with washers and nuts
- 2 - ⅜ " x 4" Galvanized Hex Lag Screws with washers
- 2 - #8 Pan Head Phillips Screws per basket
- 2 - ¼ " x 1 ¼" Fender Washers per basket
Instructions
- Start by sanding down the pallet to remove rough spots. How long will depend on the condition of your pallet. It doesn't need to be perfect. (Tip: Use a tack cloth to remove dust from sanding so it doesn't settle into the pores. Otherwise, your paint will look uneven.
- Brush off the pallet and spray paint the entire thing. You'll want to get as much of the wood covered since this isn't pressure-treated. The spray paint will help protect the wood so it will last longer. I did two full coats on mine and then touched up a few other areas.
- Attach the hooks - you can spray them first if you'd like.
- Pre-drill the holes for the bolts in both the back of the pallet and horizontal fence rail. When it comes time to hang the pallet, you definitely will need someone to help you.
- Pass the bolts through the fence and pallet and secure the washer and nut.
- Once your pallet is hung, you can use it to store noodles, towels and even your pool net.
- Secure the plastic baskets to the fence if desired.
