Tinkering a floor with dismantled pallets

[Did67]

If the planks are directly laid on the paving in floating laying this could work.

Yes and no: you have to "attach" them to each other, so mount them on rafters, so they won't touch the slab everywhere ... Uly, without tab, and without "clips" I don't see how you attach all this while "floating" ...

A regular of forums (I don't know who) made kitchen furniture out of recycled pallets, but in this case the constraints are different.

They call me ?

Too bad Targol didn't come by today

I could not. I was at a family celebration on the island of Bréhat. Thank you for finding the photo, Delnoram. It saved me from looking.

Hello,
I recovered cheese boards intended to dry the cheeses. they are 300mm wide and 35mm thick and I plan to make a floor with them. So I was thinking either grooving them languetter (not yet know how maybe a router) ... Or else I had imagined screwing them wildly in the joists telling myself that with this thickness, it might not be moving a lot .... what do you think?

Hello Triton

Trivial question, how are you going to remove the smell?
A+

It is clear that with this thickness, it will not move and in addition to boards as wide it is quite pretty.

Nice!

Aside from the few examples above of possible use of pallet boards, for your use, Caterpillar, this is hardly recommendable.

It all depends on the desired result (degree of finish) and the tools (and your ability to handle it!) That you can put in front, but it would be possible to get closer to a small sawmill or a mobile sawmill (which often replace them) and you could get cheaper boards that are easier to install and of better quality (with bonus tips!).

Eg. in some regions the chestnut is more affordable than the oak and it is a beautiful wood; same for the alder, very cheap and, although more tender, of great beauty (a beautiful pink, close to the cherry tree).

The chestnut has the property (to you to see if it is an advantage or a disadvantage) to scare away the spiders.
