It’s been a long journey and a learning lesson from the first pallet to the last. My pallet shed is finally complete and I am very pleased how it turned out.
I love the tin can roof!
I picked up the cute daisy sign at our local Goodwill for only $3.
The windows were altered by adding strips of molding to match the door. As soon as the showers pass by over the next few days I will be able to add a protective coating and paint the windows and doors.
I’ve enjoyed this huge project, but I’m sure glad it’s finished. Now, I’ll be able to devote more time to other projects. Next time I work on something like this, I’ll buy aRyobi Table Saw before anything.
If you’ve missed a previous pallet shed post you can find them below.
UPDATE!!!!!
Would you like more details on the construction process?
You’re in luck! I recently launched a book with all the juicy details. I explain the why and how the shed was built from start to finish. Grab your copy of Pallets & Tin Cans today.
Wow!! LOVE!! Amazing!!! I’ve seen a few pallet sheds, but yours tops them all!! Showing this to my hubby, because every time I mention the word ‘pallet’ I just rolls his eyes… BUT NOW HE WON’T LOL,, thanks for sharing the super neat project. I know it took time and effort, but it’s awesome!
It’s really awesome!
This shed looks awesome! I love the tin can roof too. Thank you for linking up to Throwback Thursday- pinning!
I love pallet projects and this is a great one. Thanks for sharing at Throwback Thursday.

What a darling shed! I am so impressed that it’s made just from pallets. Thanks so much for sharing with this week’s Throwback Thursday party.
Fantastic, I’m doing this in the Spring. Luckily I have a concrete floor waiting, but I love the roof. I’m wondering how labour intensive it would be to make the roof ’tiles’ from old Coke cans, we get through a lot of them in our house!
Just guessing here as I am no expert but aluminum will not hold up as strong as tin. Veggies are far less expensive than cokes, anyway.
Although aluminum can be very fragile, it doesn’t rust. It will corrode, but the corrosion actually serves to protect the aluminum from further decay.

Great project! What kind of protective coating did you use on the shed? Thanks!
This is simply CRAZY AMAZING!!!! hugs…
Brilliant!!

Hi, I was inspired by your shed to build this Thanks!

get out, that is just amazing!!
Wow – thanks for taking time to post all of this! Your shed is wonderful and has inspired me to attempt a similar pallet building for a backyard art studio!
I’m thrilled you are inspired! Good luck on the art studio too. I would love to see how it turned out.
Hi Andrea, do you know how many pallets you used for this project? I’d like to put an outdoor office/studio space in my backyard and this looks fantastic.
thanks for your reply
A Lot! lol I used 6 for the floor and 24 for the frame. To cover the outside of the shed it depends on the condition of the boards and the length in which you cut each of them. I really can’t tell you how many but I would take a guess at 40 to cover the sides. That is a guess. I didn’t count how many pallets I had to start with, but wish I did. Thanks for leaving a comment.
That shed is just amazing! Can’t wait to see what comes next!
I have tried four times to sign up for newsletter email and it hasn’t worked. I have not received a confirmation email. Can you help?
I checked the list of subscribers and you’re signed up. I’m sorry for the difficulty. I’ve contacted email tech people to figure why the plugin isn’t working. I apologize for the inconvenience. Thank you for signing up and hope you continue to follow scrapality.com. Have a wonderful weekend.
Can you show a pic of the finished floors? Did you leave the original spacing of the pallets or fill them in?
I didn’t add anything to the floor of the shed. They’re just normally spaced. Thanks for asking.
Great job! I love this. Thank you for sharing your hard work.
I love this! I am sharing to my husband’s wall. We have been discussing a shed for the kids’ bikes and such and this would be perfect!
Thank you! The shed would be perfect for bikes.
Just when I was despairing that (a) there were no more fresh pallet projects to be found and (b) we’d never be able to afford a shed (so I can use more of the garage for my workshop), I found this post. Very impressed with your creativity and hard work.
I LOVE this shed! I showed this to my husband and hopefully we can recreate this awesomeness. I’ve featured this post on my blog today and wanted to share the bloggy love and make sure it’s linked back to you. Thanks so much for rockin’ the inspiration!
I gotta say that’s pretty amazing!! Wow it must have been such hard work. I have to go back and read your full project to know what it entailed.
Thanks! It was a major learning experience.
Thanks for sharing. I am wondering how it is holding up, especially the porch area. I have but pallets directly on the ground and it rotted quickly. Any suggestions or lessons you would like to share. I am going to be building a she shed soon, so I found yours very interesting.
The pallets along the outside are not holding up. The shed is holding up great, better than I imagined. In the corner of my yard, I have a small plastic shed that leaks terribly. It’s amazing how dry everything stays in my pallet shed. You would think plastic would keep things dry, but it doesn’t. The pallets I used for the porch are not attached to anything and can easily be swapped for newer. I was actually thinking about removing the pallets along the side and planting small bushes. Just a thought.
Thanks for asking!
Really nice shed. Thank you for sharring.
Thank you for stopping by. I’m glad you like my crazy little pallet shed.
Oh my goodness, I can’t believe how much work went into this darling (sorry) rustic shed ! ( : I guess you could say I lucked out by having a inclosed shed all ready built when we bought our home but i did feel a tinge of disappointment when i saw it because I knew i wouldn’t be able to build my own ! I know, i know, why bitch right ?! Well i had visions like you did, i guess. Now it’s on to decorating ideas, i too am addicted to Pintrist ( : You should see the ideas i have saved !! I can’t wait to see yours when all is said and done. Hope you’re posting when you’ve finished. My husband’s ex-mother in law had a shed and they called it “The Peach Parlor” and had put cabinets all along one wall
hung down low on the floor for china, glassware, linens and such. At
one end was a built in bbq that was vented to the outside and some overstuffed chairs and a small sofa, the other end was a slender table
and chairs. It was hooked up to electricity and running water, i believe
the sink was installed in the top of one of the cabinets. It was so nice to
sit out there on a summer night and enjoy a beautiful but simple home
cooked meal and linger over cocktails and good conversation. I loved
that place and i miss it so i want to make mine just as inviting as theirs
was. Sorry i am jabbing so much, your shed sparked some memories in me. Until next time ( :
Thanks for your wonderful comment, Diena. The Peach Parlor sounds wonderful and quite roomy. My little shed isn’t large enough for all the fun stuff, unfortunately. Maybe, some day I’ll build a larger shed for the fun stuff. Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment.
LOVE it, been trying to get hubby to build me one for years, maybe now he will,!
Uhhhh, looks great, awesome. But, what the hell?! Where are the pics and instructions so we can actually learn how you did this step by step?
Beautiful shed! How about using cans to make gutters?
Looking great. I love it.
