Build your own privacy screen from pallets: cool ideas that are also suitable for beginners

The privacy screen made from pallets is a cheap and quite charming alternative to the expensive models on the market. You can implement your individual ideas during construction: install doors, attach flower pots and boxes or use the gaps between boards for planting. Take a look for yourself:

If the wall is too low

You already have a wall, but it doesn't really protect you from view? No problem, because you can easily extend them using Euro pallets. This looks interesting and is easy to do. All you have to do is put vertical beams or rods into the wall to which the pallets are then attached.

Looks really great, doesn't it? Especially with the bright colors.

Use the boards for custom heights and widths

For some people, the normal height of a pallet is not enough, while two pieces on top of each other might seem too bulky. In this case, you can remove the boards and simply attach them to sufficiently high beams that you have previously set up at suitable intervals, at larger distances from each other, or even close them completely.

Openings that are too large can also be blocked with bamboo mats or other privacy screens. This makes the privacy screen made of pallets look a little looser. Ordecorate itin another way!

Install a door – also made of Euro pallets, of course

You can build an element so that it can be opened. To do this, simply attach the pallet (or two stacked on top of each other) to a beam with hinges. If it has the same design as the rest of the fence, it will hardly be noticeable. If necessary, you can remove the beams that are usually located on the underside of pallets and replace them with boards, as they only add unnecessary weight to the whole thing.

Speaking of doors: Do you already have the interesting ones?Fences made from old doorsseen?

For this idea, it is best to use the smallest possible pallets or take larger ones apart first and assemble them in a suitable size. You need three elongated panels, which you then attach to each other with hinges in the shape of an accordion.

Plant with strawberries

A gap is created between the beams and boards that can be put to practical use. If you close them at the bottom, you get boxes in which you can place flower boxes. The fences can be used for strawberries, but also for other crops or flowersin a vertical gardenuse. You should use every space, right?

In this way, you can plant privacy screens on a balcony yourself and create a small balcony garden. If strawberries are at such a height instead of in the ground in the bed, they are protected from diseases and harvesting is also much more convenient.
