I wanted to compliment you you are the first one that explained how to connect the pallets and I am a first homesteader I said that wrong but I am 61 years old and desire not to pay $53 for a piece of board thank you for your help
I love your farm. I love that you show how to do as much as possible without spending money. And you make it look nice. You’re not just throwing “junk” together and calling it good. You make the effort to make it nice. I think it’s wonderful. Really enjoy it and appreciate it. And ya had a great little helper today too! 😉 TFS! God Bless you all ~Lisa
i built the same shelter, and a 30×60 pen from pallets tieing them together with 2×4s it lasted me 8 yrs and it was all free. just bought a handful of t post to drive down through the pallet fencing.
If you put some 4x4's into the ground and secure the pallets it could work for mini horses. If not, they would knock it over from scratching their necks or butts against it. I enjoyed the video and loved watching the pig and goat.
Hi Dad, I would put a couple of posts down the middle, where the pallets meet... to help with the snowload. And I would really think about some rolled roofing for the roof.. Michigan winter is coming my friend.
Sansom’s Pressure Cleaning & Pool Service It’s easy to retro fit to support the roof better. It’s NOT easy to rebuild after a collapse. I had a collapse last winter due to snow load. Nothing like checking the animals’ webcam during the night (because we were getting heavy snow) & seeing everything collapsed! 😱 That day started really early...lol It’s better for him to put up a pole or two now, than to have to dig out a collapsed structure & try to rebuild in 18” of fresh snow.🤷🏻♀️We were lucky to have not lost any animals. Miraculously.
The gentleman did ask for comments, and suggestions. This one was given with genuine helfullness in mind. I saw no criticisim at all. I watched to learn how-to using free materials. I will use A Canadian in Europe's instruction, bc he is right. I live in Virginia, and will not have the same snow load, but I see how the stability added is valuable also for wind, ice, whatever snow we do get, and to make it last as long as possible.
a old gravity box flipped upside down and then cut a hole in the side. my pigs love it. i found mine on craigslist for 50 bucks each. some rust holes but nothing a little silicone cant fix.
I've been using old motor oil to stain repurposed wood super water repellent. Great job have a great day of course the UA-cam safety patrol might not agree with that press on in the good work.
It isnt flammable either like some people will say. I use a 1 to 1 raito of used motor oil and diesel. The diesel thins it so that it goes on easier and can be put into a sprayer
I would recommend that you put several wedges to fill the gaps between the roof and the frame. If a strong wind hits it would add more stress that the pallet roof can take and fall apart.
The second hammer I ever bought was a three pound mini-sledge, several times in this video it would have come in handy. It might be easier, next time you bulld walls: start in a corner so the wall starts self-supporting. But good build, overall.
probably should add some steel posts on the corners to keep george from rooting it around, pigs like to rub and push stuff around and make lots of holes
Love your videos and find them inspiring and useful. I live in the UK and the wife and I are seriously considering looking for a place with a few acres of land to do something similar to you guys. Keep up the good work and i look forward to future videos. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Just seeing this awesome video! VERY inspiring but I NEED TO KNOW how to keep my goat from eating the wood we use to build his shelter? He's torn it apart😡
New subscriber here! We are in Las Vegas on a small ranch. This video was perfect. I’m always looking for easy to build shelters that my hubby will actually be able to do without too much building. Did you have to secure it into the ground with posts set in cement or is it just sturdy enough on the ground? Genius!
The weight of the structure seems to be enough to hold it firmly on the cinder blocks I laid out under each pallet wall. To make it more sturdy sink 4 posts in the ground (no cement needed) at each corner but I don't think it is necessary
I know this is old but this is awesome!!! Where do you get your palettes though? I've heard there are places that give them away but I'm not sure where to start. Love your channel so much!
Hey, how's the pumpkin patch coming along? I know it's not much farther till your patch is open & I'm curious of how it's coming along since you haven't posted a video on updates about it in awhile. Hope all is good!
That is a good idea also, I could just secure it to the outside all the way down, woukd give a drip edge too. I actually should have done that before I put on the roof panels:(
Hey nice job! Looks good and you are always so resourceful with your builds. I am taking the same approach. Check out my raised bed hat was inspired by yours!
I wanted to compliment you you are the first one that explained how to connect the pallets and I am a first homesteader I said that wrong but I am 61 years old and desire not to pay $53 for a piece of board thank you for your help
That's awesome! We are just about to start building a shed for a few sheep and this js a great guide for me. Thank you from new Zealand 😊

Those are the nicest pallets I've ever seen. I pick up all those I could find.
i built the same shelter, and a 30×60 pen from pallets tieing them together with 2×4s it lasted me 8 yrs and it was all free. just bought a handful of t post to drive down through the pallet fencing.
Some how this man made this job look so simple. Just the size I need.
Pallets are so great to use for just about anything. Our first garden was a 8 X 8 pallet garden. It was awesome!
I continue to marvel at your ingenuity!
The pig saw the tractor and was like “ruuuuun it’s Godzilla!”
If you put some 4x4's into the ground and secure the pallets it could work for mini horses. If not, they would knock it over from scratching their necks or butts against it. I enjoyed the video and loved watching the pig and goat.
Perfect & man I’ve been thinking about building something similar with pallets soon so this was great timing that this came across now. Love it
Hi Dad, I would put a couple of posts down the middle, where the pallets meet... to help with the snowload.
And I would really think about some rolled roofing for the roof.. Michigan winter is coming my friend.
I want you there helping him in the first place? It’s easy to tell somebody what to do after they’ve done the job.
A Canadian in Europe As a Michigander, I agree 100%. That snow load is no joke...

I thought about that or maybe at least at the front edge to keep those walls stable. Some tweaks will need to be done for sure
a old gravity box flipped upside down and then cut a hole in the side. my pigs love it. i found mine on craigslist for 50 bucks each. some rust holes but nothing a little silicone cant fix.
I wouldn't have thought it would work. Well done
That's pretty cool. Always looking for diy animal shelters that are simple and cheap. Thanks a bunch.
Excellent. Thank you so much for sharing how you did this. Wonderful. thanks again.
I don’t have the equipment but I’m on the same page, thanks for sharing!
I've been using old motor oil to stain repurposed wood super water repellent. Great job have a great day of course the UA-cam safety patrol might not agree with that press on in the good work.
Lol, I thought about using motor oil on the roof, still might!
My lips are sealed. LOL
That's a great idea. It would also serve to keep down bugs and stop mildew that would kill that plywood here in the south.
It isnt flammable either like some people will say. I use a 1 to 1 raito of used motor oil and diesel. The diesel thins it so that it goes on easier and can be put into a sprayer
@@CMichaelLyle great job.
We have the same drill! Awesome video!
I would recommend that you put several wedges to fill the gaps between the roof and the frame. If a strong wind hits it would add more stress that the pallet roof can take and fall apart.
Thank you. I think it is great. 🙂
Nice build,.thanks. We gotta do a Goat shed and I'll use your method. 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Free builds are wonderful!
I’m totally going to build this if I decide to change the style of my farm to “Bridge Under Overpass in LA Chic.”
The second hammer I ever bought was a three pound mini-sledge, several times in this video it would have come in handy. It might be easier, next time you bulld walls: start in a corner so the wall starts self-supporting. But good build, overall.
I love your real time up close video I'm gna try this
Good job will be a nice little place
Really nice shelter
Great animal shelter.
Nice build.
love it In the middle of building your chicken coop!!
This is such a great idea that I'm making a dog house just like this but with walls on the side I'm almost down
Good job! Love that it's free (except for labor, of course).
probably should add some steel posts on the corners to keep george from rooting it around, pigs like to rub and push stuff around and make lots of holes
Would you be able to do this with two pallets on top of each other to make it taller for horses? Would it still be secure enough?
Like it alot! Man you can build anything. So awesome!!
Love your videos and find them inspiring and useful. I live in the UK and the wife and I are seriously considering looking for a place with a few acres of land to do something similar to you guys. Keep up the good work and i look forward to future videos. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Great job
Very nice! Love it!
looks pretty good
How well did this hold up?
Love it! Planning on doing something similar very soon!
I have an abundance of pallets and need to build a shelter for my horse's, I wish pallets would work for a shelter that big 😂
They definitely will. But put in four posts for the corners. I will be building one for our horses next month
Good job Sir !!
Nice work!
Was that regular 2 x 4 you banged into the joints to shore it up?
Well done !!! Congrads on 100k by the way....
Thanks!
Great video! Love the editing in this one. You should probably wear ear pro when driving your tractor though, lol!
You are very right! I normally do!
You need some lift truck forks that go on the front of you bucket. Lumna Acres has some.
That's a really good idea!
Great video
Lol I saw this n going to make one thanks for the idea I moved to tx n going to buy goats. Yay
👍 Very impressive! Ya done good! 😀✌🇨🇱
Is it rain proof ? Interested but might have to rain proof it
Good work.
Just seeing this awesome video! VERY inspiring but I NEED TO KNOW how to keep my goat from eating the wood we use to build his shelter? He's torn it apart😡
Awesome!!!
How you gonna keep that thing from blowing away?
Very nice 👍 thanks 🙏🌹🌹
A great price for that kind of shelter!
Nice shelter wondering how it does in cold weather?
Did you have a problem the pigs continuing to poop there my pigs always poop in the same place
I would luv to have one of those tractor barns/shops like what u do.
Todd I’ll make a couple of those for storage
What's keeping it from blowing away?
It is super heavy
what type and size nails and screws did you use for this also
Why did you put your cinder blocks in the ground the wrong way?
Did you tie it down?
WAY COOL IDEA!
You are the Charlie Daniels of the Loader...
did you finish the bunny hotels clean out pans? interested to see what you use. love the new building! great job
Not yet, this week!
I love it too! great job! Inspiring!

SSLFamilyDad Even better! Thank you for your reply
Awesome
you can still beef it up ,i would recommend some kind of roof on the cheap
Dude! That’s awesome. Great job!
How much do you have to pay for straw bales? They cost $15.00 where I live in metro Chicago.
2 or 3 dollars each normally
So it has been a few days since this build. Has George rubbed it apart yet? Usually they rub on EVERYTHING so they are rough on buildings.
He has not rubbed anything apart yet!
So you're saying you can fit your pony in there?
I know this is old but this is awesome!!! Where do you get your palettes though? I've heard there are places that give them away but I'm not sure where to start. Love your channel so much!
Look around and tucking company, warehouse, distribution places. Call them and ask, they will have plenty to give you
Wish I could find plywood crates for free...will snow load be an issue?
I can't imagine it would be I was able to walk around and jump up and down on the roof. Snow load will be much more spread out than my weight.
Hey, how's the pumpkin patch coming along? I know it's not much farther till your patch is open & I'm curious of how it's coming along since you haven't posted a video on updates about it in awhile. Hope all is good!
It is going ok, had some mildew issues and some vines rotting, will do an update soon!
👍good jop man
Putting 15 or 30 pound felt, or 90 pound granulated tar paper on the roof will last a surprisingly long time.
I actually have some felt paper, I may just do that, thanks!
What state are you in?
He is in Michigan
It would be awesome if you could find some used or scrap tin for a cheap price or free to help with your projects
Agreed!
Howdy Todd would this work for our goats
We will be using this for goats for sure, will be great for them
Great design of you have a tractor. I don't. I'll find a different way.
Strap a 2x4 going down the side of the pallet roof
That is a good idea also, I could just secure it to the outside all the way down, woukd give a drip edge too. I actually should have done that before I put on the roof panels:(
SSLFamilyDad also maybe zip tie it to the blocks.
Cheap build! It does the job.
An impact will be more effective.
Hey nice job! Looks good and you are always so resourceful with your builds. I am taking the same approach. Check out my raised bed hat was inspired by yours!
Please do not go below this, it will kill you!!!😄
Very nice job it’s a shame your children weren’t there to help you instead of telling you what to do after the job was completed.
Every video about this topic... video started by someone on a tractor?
Never trust a grown man who wears short pants.
Put some clothes on the kids.

!!!!
Don't be a jackass.

I'm not.
That is awesome, great job.
