    Certainly not overdone, those bins will last you for a long time. If you're going to do / make something, do it properly.

    I've been a builder for many years and have seen quite a fair bit of sheds. The plans in ryan's package ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxB7IXYxLzb_Ichhe45zM3Im5xfEiSp9vB have some of the nicest looking sheds i've seen in a while.

    Cool kid. My daughter started out helping me build a treehouse from pallets when she was 4. She's just got herself a Master's degree in Civil Engineering.

    I kept smiling to myself while watching you use bolts, extra screws & crossbars to make it extra sturdy. My husband ALWAYS goes overboard with making something sturdy, but it never falls apart. I'm going to show him this video to convince him that a sturdy compost bin system can be built from pallets. Thanks.

    Thank you so much for this video! So much inspiration and ideas! I love how you used some scrap wood to create the slots for the fence boards to create an easily removable “door”. Another video I watched did some super complicated cut with a very expensive tabletop saw on a 4x4 post 😳 If you want to go SUPER overboard with your compost bins you could add some hinged lids and wrap around the sides and back of your compost bin with chicken wire or hardware cloth. LoL 😂 I have kids and a pack of coyotes that frequent our yard, and soon we will have dogs too, so I’m wondering how your bins have held up so far??? Would you consider making a short update video???

  • @IdiotF0ol
    @IdiotF0ol 3 роки тому +78

    I made something very similar. I recommend stapling garden cloth around the interior to keep compost material from finding its way into the pallet cavities. That will help your structure last even longer.

    Thank you for your clear explanations, even using the names of tools and hardware - not everyone does that so well, but it is a real help to those of us who have almost no experience building things or using basic tools. I am so happy for your little girl, that she gets to watch you and often help, so she will feel comfortable and confident doing things herself as she grows! You seem like a great dad as well as a great UA-cam teacher!

    So my set up is nearly identical. However for the front slats I permanently attached the two lowest ones. They help keep the whole rig stable and I never ever need to remove those bottom ones. Just thought I'd share.

  • @bigguyshiketoo3732
    @bigguyshiketoo3732 3 місяці тому +1

    My biggest suggestion is make your bins wide enough to scoop out with your bucket on your tractor. If you have a 5 ft bucket make 6 ft wide bins. And such. Then you can scoop out the compost when it’s done to move without shovels. And if you need you can toss the compost easily with tractor. I made my first been like he did which sucked since I bought a tractor a year latter. Since then I made a new compost bins much larger.

    I love your attention to detail, and I know the satisfaction that comes from doing a job right. But realistically, these bins are going to compost themselves in a few years, so overbuilding a compost system is just going to end up wasting wood. I just put my pallets together using some stainless steel L-brackets; the weight of the compost inside makes them rock-solid. When the pallets disintegrate, I just remove the L-brackets and re-use them on the next build. A lot more time and cost-efficient!

    That's the finest design and construction of pallet-style compost bins I've ever seen.

    • @kathynix6552
      @kathynix6552 8 місяців тому

      Good to know they lasted nine years. I was thinking two maybe three years before the pallets started to break down. It’s worth the amount of engineering if they are going to last that long.
      I wonder if I used a row of breeze blocks along the bottom they would last even longer.
