I made a DIY Pallet Veggie Rack/Shelf for storing onions and potatoes.
Here are the steps I used (pictures are at the bottom of the page):
Step 1:
I cut apart a pallet with my sazall (reciprocating saw) and chose the best of the boards (the straightest and least damaged).
Step 2:
Then I measured the space where the shelf was going to go and found it needed to be 20″ wide and 32″ tall.
Step 3:
I chose the thickest boards for the bottom and thinner boards for the sides of the box. I also chose two 2x4s for the legs and feet.
Step 4:
I measured and cut all the pieces with my chop-saw
Step 5:
I sanded all of the pieces with my belt sander and palm sander to take the rough edges off to reduce the chance of getting splinters. I left it looking rough which is to say “Rustic” though.
Step 6:
I assembled the boxes with my air finish nailer, but you can use screws too if you would like
Step 7:
I cut the angle on the top of the legs and attached the legs to the boxes (again with my air finish nailer)
Step 8:
Put the shelf in place in the kitchen to make sure of fit
Step 9:
Add Veggies and Enjoy!
Here are the Pictures:

This was a fun project to create and it will be useful!
I could have added a third shelf, but I left it off so that things can be stored on the floor under it.
Please let me know if you have any questions or comments about this project!
