After presenting a number of ideas on how we can turn old and useless pallets in artistic furniture, here we show you an idea of using them as a hanging bed. Of course, the most important thing is to have anchor points to attach this swinging beauty to. The best option is to have four stable ones that are parallel two by two. This is easily achievable if you have one built pergola or other open structure. The next in stability is the one with three suspension points, and the easiest to attach is with two, ie. and a very thick branch will suffice for your swing. Calculate the total load - that of the weight of the swing and how many people will use it at the same time. If you have doubts about the durability of the load-bearing parts, it is better not to get caught. Despite the simple idea, the details can create unexpected annoyances.

You will need two solid pallets and two or three stable beams as well as a durable rope. Once you have chosen the location and method of installation of your swing, you should also choose the method of connection of the wooden grills. If you use euro pallets, you have the choice of connecting them in width or length. Secure the two wooden grilles to each other with the help of beams and screws. Remove any unnecessary details that will aggravate the bed. Sand out and check carefully for protruding sharp details. Impregnate, paint and varnish if you like. Connect the way you want, hook and level. As this outdoor furniture will be a great temptation for children and there is always a risk of tipping over, do not place it more than 30-40cm in height. It will also be easier for you. Finally, think about the decoration. Choose a thick foam that fits the size and sew a cloth case over it. Create extra comfort with colorful cushions and a light duvet that you can custom-make knockout and have the pleasure of indulging in this magnificent garden delight.
