I've used 3x Euro pallets for this couch which are 1200x800mm in size.
You will need some timber adhesive, a couple of nail plates, and some screws to complete this project.
Thanks very much to my regular subscribers, and welcome to any new viewers. Stay tuned for more Mikey2hands videos coming out soon.

Finally, step by step instructions!
2yrs later. Im a HUGE FAN, having just discovered this (during a You Tube Rabbit Hole event.) HOWEVER!!! This is the FIRST video ive watched in the D.I.Y "Instructional Videos" that, is actually "D.I.Y!" and not "Buy, to DIY!" The fact u hand sawed, and hammered, etc....When MOST, use a big selection of expensive power tools.!!
YOU are my new DIY GUY! (I cant over state how much i love what you have done. (However, im night shift, and i have to go to sleep, so i must end my praise here.)
Thankyou.
Thanks mate. Much appreciated.
We just finished our couch using your tutorial! Thnx!
I’m making this tonight, wish me luck. 🍀
Hope it went well.
Gud day thank you for sharing this video with me,it's very inspirational to me as I'm unemployed and learning to make some pallet products for a living,,,thank you once again
Love the way you sit down and enjoy a beer on it after finishing
This was the project I had been looking for. I'm using it for a patio sofa, so rather than castors, I have put some old sofa legs on it, and I sliced up the wood from an old pine wardrobe I had in the garage, and clad the edges. I used some exterior grey paint that was left over from my shed and painted it over. I was very pleased with the result. Thank you very much for the inspiration to make this
Best video on using pallets to build furniture! Thanks so much !
This was a perfect tutorial…
I love the simplicity! Some channels take them apart completely and that seems pointless and defeats the point, IMO.
I've just bought 20 euro pallets for an outdoor cabana in my yurt camp in Mongolia. Now looking for ideas to make simple furniture for our family and guests.
By far the most simplest way to go about making these . cheer matey.
Excellent instructions built mine in an hour ,, brownie points with the Mrs to the max !!! thank you !!
Niceeeee. I was looking for the easiest way to do the backrest!

thank you, this was the best and easiest solution so far!!! I will do it!
GREAT video! Straight to the point, easy to understand for Anyone! Thank you thank you thank you
I got one pallet, off to get 2 more! Thanks a lot for giving this amateur hope.

This is important! When purchasing pallets for your DIY sofa, make sure the pallets are HEAT TREATED and not CHEMICALLY TREATED. You don't want pallets in your home that are chemically treated with Methyl Bromide, at least I wouldn't. You can differentiate the two by the markings: HT = Heat treated / MB = Methyl Bromide treated.
Yes good point Prunk. That’s why I only use Euro pallets for my projects.
Since 01/01/2010, all newly produced EPAL Euro pallets are heat treated in accordance with ISPM 15.
EPAL Euro pallets treated according to ISPM 15 can be recognised by the branded markings on both central blocks on the long sides.
It is prohibited to treat EPAL Euro pallets with methyl bromide (MB)
@@Mikey2hands Nice! Thanks for the info.
Thx, good to know
Hey., thanks for the info
@streetballplayer100 😅
Wow, brilliant👍🔥
Top job man. Looking for the best way to do this quickly and looks good…. Thanks 💪👍
Thanks mate. Check out my other videos too, I did an armchair one as well.
Good job
This is the best video I've seen .. weirdly I got everything right from the start...I moved into a bigger apartment and will be doing larger seats...wish me luck
Good luck!
Awesome
Love it 😍 great tutorial, and gone the extra mile, telling us where to get the cushions from cheers
Excelente explicado 👍
Excellent
Emeğinize sağlık çok güzel oldu.
Bro thanks for the vid it was awesome I am looking forward to build mine,. Keep it up
Cheers bro. Hope it helps you.
good ol kiwi ingenuity
Great video! I'm doing a project at the moment with pallets and cinder blocks. Building a small decking area as well.
I can appreciate the effort shown to make this bench be wise it's not easy taking them apart etc. The pallets I'm using, like yours, are very hardy and strong, as they're quite good quality, thus dismantling them is not as easy as it looks! Although you made it look rather easy lol! 😁 What saw are you using? I bought one which is applicable for the job but still, it's touch cutting through the thick timber! I use a screwdriver too but mine isn't as good as yours, because I broke mine in the process! I'll prob go looking for one like yours as it's much better! Thanks for posting. It's one of the better videos I've watched to verify I'm doing it right!
Great little bench! Mine will have cinder blocks involved but I hope it turns out as good as yours with that professional rustic charm 👌
Thank you for creating this user friendly video you have given me the confidence to start making my garden pallet sofa. What size nail plates did you use?
Love the tutorial, thanku so much.
Sorry to sound stupid but where's the nail plates?
U used the adhesive to put the two pallets together, did I miss something 😅
Sorry just a lil confused,
Cheers Kaz 😊
Ótimo ❤ amei
It's amazing! I have made several already. Do you have an idea how to make a corner for these couches? I can use half a pallet but then on one side, it is not so easy to make a back rest as well.
Hey - great video. I was thinking of doing this but making it a day bed rather than a sofa. Presumably I'd just need two extra pallets stacked on top of each other and attach them, using more nail plates, to extend the base of it?
bonito
If screwing thought the small lengths of timber cut the tip off the screw this will help prevent the timber splitting if you don't pre drill a hole..... Just the tip more so to make it blunt
Thanks for the video. Just wanted to know where you got the sofa cushions from and what they're called?
best
Great video have my pallets coming on friday. Should i sand and varnish all the wood or just the bits that show once done as im leaving them in the garden
If they will be exposed to the weather you would be best to seal the timber with varnish or decking oil first. Good luck.
Pleas add table 😀
Great Video. 👍Where do I get those pillows? 🤗
This is the best video I have seen. Where can I order this pallet from. I can’t find it and like the stamp marks in it.
You should be able to find pallets for free. Check warehouses, industrial areas or pet supply shops too. Garden supply shops get bulk mulch etc on pallets and are usually happy to give them away too.
What is the depth of the seat once done? Also the height of the back?
Hi there! Thanks for the informative video. I was just wondering what the dimensions were for the finished product? I have a particular spot for it in mind and hoping it will fit under the window. :)
It will be 1200mm wide x 800 deep and 770 tall without wheels. My wheels were an extra 50mm tall. Good luck!
Great video! I have a bit of a noob question - do I have to sand all surfaces if I want to stain/paint it?
It’s a good idea to sand the top surfaces to remove the splinters. Good luck!
Can you make one into a corner sofa
would this be more or less the same if I was to have 3 pallets on the base?
Is the back rest strong enough? Does it hold peoples weight if you lean back on it?
Great vid by the way.
Yeah it’s pretty strong. You can put a few extra screws in if you like.
Did you make the cushions as well or purchase them? If purchased, where from?
I got the cushions from ikea.
Hi, I got my pallets today. the size here in california i got are 32 inches by 38.5. Mine are a little smaller than yours but they will work just fine without cutting anything.. and following your steps. I am planning to use the IKEA kungso seat cushion. Do you mind sharing the size you bought for the sofa you made?
Mine were Kungso 60cm x 40cm cushions. I’m not sure if IKEA still sells Kungso but if not they are bound to have other ones that will fit nicely. 👍
@@Mikey2hands thank you for your prompt answer...i bought all my tools and this Friday I am starting my project. I have never done anything like this before but your instruction seems very easy....i am just wondering about how things are going to turn out with the size of pallets I have....
My plans were using Euro sized pallets. Other types of pallets may not fit together the same way. But good luck with your project.
Good for squats , crack dens and and bad kids hang out dens 👍 Cheers big ears
Hi! Do you think the mending plates are 100% necessary? Could I get away with not using them?
Hi Sarah. If you just use no more nails adhesive they might hold. The nail plates will just make it more secure and look a bit more industrial. Good luck.
well done, what is the name of the pillow at ikea?
They were called Kungso but I’m not sure if IKEA still have them. They may have a different named cushion range now.
you're from nz right? doesn't sound australian :) this looks cool btw, I am trying to make a couch myself but with only 1 pallet
It’s hard to make a good seat out of just 1 pallet. But good luck. Yep from NZ originally, still have the accent.
@@Mikey2hands cool! I finished it today and it actually turned out really good!! I like a low seating anyways!
You sound like Korg
Haha. All Kiwis sound like Korg!
what are the pillows called
