Free-Standing Pallet Fence
Karen Biondo of Vashon Island, Wash., used screwed-together pallets to build a solid fence for her pigs and goats. The pallets lay on their edges in a straight line, with pallets placed crossways between them to help stabilize the fence. All the pallets are screwed and bolted together.
    “It eliminates the need to dig holes and install posts,” she says. “I get the pallets free locally. Also, because of the cross pieces the animals don’t have a straight line to scratch themselves on and wreck the fence.”
    Even though she lives in a high rainfall area, Biondo says the 5-year-old fence is still solid and shows little signs of rot.
