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.
