This is one of the endless things you can do with pallets. A swing bed, wonderful to lie down, relax and read a book. It's simple and you need just a few things.
Sad that here I don1t have a place to put it. But I do have place to do other great things with pallets. I'll let you know other tutorials using pallets.
Ok! Now is pallet swing bed.
What you'll need:
pallets
2 X 4 lumber
drill
screws
saw
measuring tape
rope
mattress or cushion
How to do it:
Measure the size of the mattress or cushion you’re putting on the pallet and figure out how many pallets you’ll need to use to fit your mattress on. Take into account the space you’ll need for the rope at the ends.
Slide the 2 x 4′s through the inside of the pallets, one on each inside edge of the pallet and one through the middle.
Screw the 2 x 4′s to the sides and middle of the pallet.
If needed, add additional boards from another pallet to your main piece, we added two boards from a broken down pallet to the middle of ours.
Cut off 2 x 4′s that are hanging past the length of the pallets.
Drill holes in the four corners of the pallet, both the top and bottom boards of the pallet. Make sure the hole is big enough for the rope to fit through.
Thread the rope through the hole, making sure rope goes under the bottom of the pallet and around the 2×4 (see picture below). Tie securely.
Tie rope securely to tree.
Organize the mattress and pillows, grab a book and let's relax.
