Simple DIY Wood Pallet Potting Bench (full instructions)

We recently transformed an old shed into a bright and vibrant potting shed. The only thing missing from it was an actual potting bench! While you can find them for sale, there really is no reason to -- you can make your own using upcycled pallets. In this video I share how to use a wood pallet, plus a few planks from a second, to create the perfect DIY potting bench. It takes a couple of hours to build, requires a few tools, and costs practically nothing to make.

Good instructions Tanya. Suggest you run a sander over the finished potting bench. No chance of getting splinters then.

I made it! Awesome design. I used 3 75mm screws in each join and it’s so solid it didn’t need bracing! ❤

Thank you, Tanya, for the fabulous instructions with precise measurements. Best of luck with the Channel

Hey Tanya...It came out fantastic! Thanks for the share.
I received your book the other day, and I totally love it. I like to think of myself as
a seasoned gardener, ( lol ) but there's always more to learn and you are one of the best
teachers out there.
Sending you much love from Toronto. Xx

Excellent video Tanya and it was a fantastic idea to make a potting bench from pallets. It's amazing what you can make from pallets. You have inspired me to make a potting bench from pallets.

wow!, what a lovely Tanya...keep-up that healthy work! 🥰

I love the bench, it probably needs some diagonally placed boards to help keep it from wobbling.

[MrBuycycle]

this is such a clever utilization of pallets. I'm going to make a couple now for my pollytunnel . Cheers!

[itsmewende]

Such a great idea, it looks so handy. I have a little greenhouse that would work great in, I'll be on the hunt for pallets. Hope you're getting your senses back.

😆 Tanya, my two dogs are like that when I break out the power tools, too!

[kirubafromuk]

Your bench looks beautiful, great job, Thanks for sharing

[louisleflick]

Another winner. I would put the spare planks diagonally across the back and sides to stop it racking. Evolution not revolution as they say. 👍

I'm wanting you to do a hair tutorial, I love your hair!

[carolhendley]

You are amazing! I just love this. We farm cotton and peanuts and have scads of pallets. I don’t think i trust myself with a power tool, but maybe my son could help me.

Hi Tanya!
Great job, recycling at it's best.

[tassiegirl]

Love it just the right size for potting up seeds etc. Well done. Cant wait fir the book to arrive here at home.

[raypearson]

Absolutely brilliant great idea thanks for sharing love from u.k. x

[GrowingAGreenFinger]

Very nice! I'll have to start cutting up some pallets. i'm gonna need tables for my future green house.

[niallgardens]

Hi Tanya! I'd been looking forward to this, and it was brilliant. Super clear instructions, and a great potting bench at the end of it. I've got 12 pallets that are destined to become compost bays, but!... I think a couple of them might just be turning into a potting bench now! Thanks for making this! 😃

[julieneary]

Am loving your potting bench - think I will be making one as it looks so easy. Keep these projects coming.
