ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES 

The beautiful thing about pallets is the endless possibilities they contain. In keeping with our commitment to protecting the environment, the pallets we offer customers are heat treated (not chemical treated), and they are suitable for almost anything you can imagine! You can have free firewood through winter, knock up a quick table for your backyard, create a sturdy base for your bed or make planters for your garden (we even sell seedlings to go in them!).
