Pallet Deck + Steps — step-by-step guide

The principle

Never block what keeps it safe. Vents and gas outlets stay clear, joists rest on stone or concrete pads (never bare soil), steps rise evenly, and metal flashing keeps rot away from the base.

  • 20–30 HT pallets
  • charred joists (2x4/CLS)
  • charred step boards
  • concrete blocks
  • galv screws

Tools

  • Pallet buster
