Many of us paid attention to used wooden pallets (pallets) piled up near a hardware store, or even discarded as unnecessary. Bricks are stored and transported on these wooden structures, building blocks, transport oversized cargo. But not everyone knows that pallets are great for making original furniture. A sofa made from pallets is one example.

The frame of any piece of furniture, be it a sofa, armchair, table or cabinet, consists of panels, solid or prefabricated. So why not use ready-made “furniture designer parts” for them? It is convenient to cut pallets into pieces and fasten them, treat them with wood compounds, paint them, cover them with fabric and combine them with other materials, for example, metal.

Furniture made from pallets will help out those who cannot afford an expensive furniture set, but do not want to buy it at a second-hand store; students who rent an apartment; owners country house or dachas. However, furnishings of this kind are created not only out of economy. IN last years they are very popular with eco-designers who create expensive branded collections from real pallets or their imitations from artificially aged boards. Therefore, by making a sofa from pallets with your own hands, you can not only save money, but also give your home a unique, stylish atmosphere.

Inexpensive, light, comfortable...

A small sofa made from pallets looks great in the hallway, in the sitting area in the kitchen, on the terrace or balcony, and the sofa standard size can be placed in the living room. Compared to a regular bulky sofa, it has many advantages:

• it is easy to wash, it is easy to change the “upholstery” on it: the pillows are secured to the frame with the help of ties passed between the boards;
• it is lightweight and easy to disassemble. You can move it around the apartment - take it from the kitchen to the terrace when guests arrive, from the house to the veranda or to the garden if you decide to sleep on a warm night fresh air. A sofa made from pallets is slightly heavier than a plastic one, but much stronger and looks more stylish;
• a sofa made from pallets, even if you take into account the cost of fittings and pillows, will cost much less than the most economical analogue in a furniture store.

The peculiarity of furniture made from pallets is that even without special “constructive additions”, both a sofa, a table and an armchair can additionally serve as a cabinet for household utensils and small things. Sand the pallets well before cutting them into parts and cover the crossbars with sheets of plywood - and you will get convenient shelves. You can store photo albums, magazines under the sofa in the living room, shoe polishes and umbrellas in the hallway sofa, and mosquito repellents, wet wipes and similar little things in the garden couch.

Where to get pallets and what types they are

An empty pallet weighs on average about 15-20 kg, and its dimensions, depending on its purpose, can be:

• 120 x 100 x 12 cm (standard);
• 120 x 80 x 12 cm (“euro”).

You can buy new or used pallets cheaply at thematic construction portals. Sometimes the price of packaging is included in the price of delivery of goods from the manufacturer, and the buyer is ready to give away for free what he does not need. wooden platforms, which have been sitting in his warehouse for years. However, even new pallets in a hardware store are inexpensive.

If you are planning to assemble a sofa from pallets with your own hands, but you do not have the opportunity to purchase ready-made “constructor parts”, you can make them yourself from 15-20 mm boards with a cross-section of 60-70 mm. However, pallets are better for furniture industrial production. They are made from strong and durable wood: a standard pallet must withstand a weight of at least a ton! This is how they make sofas from pallets with their own hands, photo:

Master Class

So, a short master class for those who decided to make a sofa from pallets with their own hands. Let's take a step-by-step look at the main stages of work.

Preparation of material

The first thing you need to do before starting work is to carefully inspect the workpieces, even if they were purchased in a store: are there any cracks in the boards, are there rusty nails sticking out of them? If you are assembling non-standard furniture, it is better to disassemble the platforms, sort the boards by condition, thickness and length, and assemble fragments of the size you need from them.

Here's what to think about:

• Used pallets must be brushed and thoroughly washed outside with a garden hose (in extreme cases, this can be done at home in the bathroom by placing a screen to remove large debris in the drain). " Wet cleaning"will not harm them: they have been wet in the rain more than once, exposed to frost, direct sun rays and chemicals.
• Both new and used pallets need to be sanded, removing burrs and roughness from the boards. Use sandpaper (first with coarse and then with finer grains), a brush attachment for a drill, or a special sander. Depending on the style of the future sofa, all parts or only those parts that will be in contact with the body are polished: top part sofas, handrails, shelves.
• If you are going to make a garden sofa or place it on the balcony, it must be treated with a moisture-repellent primer. After this, it can be opened with varnish or painted.

Cleaning, grinding and chemical treatment of workpieces and finished product carried out outdoors, on the balcony or in a well-ventilated area. Don't forget to wear a protective mask to avoid inhaling dust, reagents and tiny wood particles.

Tools

You will need a standard set of woodworking tools: a saw or grinder for cutting thick boards; hacksaw; jigsaw; drill; hammer; sandpaper (drill attachment, sander); screwdriver and/or screwdriver. You will also need:

• corners, screws and nails;
• varnish or paint; moisture-repellent primer for gardening and country furniture; brushes, rollers;
• furniture stapler and upholstery material if you will be upholstering the sofa with fabric; thick foam rubber or filler (polyester, padding polyester) and dense fabric for making pillows or a mattress.

Prepare sheets of plywood and accessories - legs for the sofa, handles for drawers. If you don't have the time or desire ( step-by-step instruction– follow the link), you can order them from a furniture manufacturing company or “give a second life” to the pillows from an old sofa by making new durable covers for them.

First attempt: a sofa from one pallet

Before you make a full-fledged sofa from pallets, you should watch the video and practice on a small piece of furniture. To make a sofa for the hallway, one standard size pallet is enough for you. In addition, prepare four thick bars for the legs and a sheet of plywood for the back (leaning your back on the bars is not very comfortable) and handrails. If you have two pallets, one of them can be used for spare parts. Sofa made of pallets, photo:

Here's what to do:

• Saw the pallet lengthwise into two parts: the larger one, of four crossbars, will become the seat, and the smaller one, of three crossbars, will become the backrest.
• Using screws and metal corners, attach the legs to the side surfaces of the part that will be the seat. To make the structure stable, they must be wide and not very high.
• Using wooden corners, attach the second half of the pallet at the desired angle, as shown in the photo.
• Treat the sofa with a primer, varnish or paint. Separately process a sheet of plywood for the back and secure it to the crossbars using loops.

Advice! Best suited for the hallway sofa cushions made of denim or other thick fabric that is easy to clean.

For a sofa on the balcony, sew cushions from leatherette: they are not afraid of accidental rain if you do not have time to bring them into the room in bad weather.

Standard sofas

A standard size sofa is made from six pallets, but you need to purchase at least eight wooden platforms. One will be kept in reserve in case a pallet breaks during processing, and you will disassemble the second into boards and use them to fasten the fragments together. The algorithm for making all types of sofas is exactly the same: manufacturing parts (base, back, attaching legs), processing and assembling them.

Preparing parts

• Base. Lay two wooden platforms face down on the floor, fasten with corners and boards, repeat with the second pair of pallets.
• Cut the fifth pallet crosswise into two equal parts: this will be the back.
• If necessary, treat fragments of future furniture with a moisture-repellent compound and wood primer (to smooth out uneven areas and cover up cracks). When it dries, open the pallets with varnish or paint according to the instructions.
• Attach wheels, legs, or pieces of wood to one of the pairs of pallets.

Assembly

If you are not confident in yourself, use a photo or video on how to make sofas from pallets with your own hands - step by step following the advice of the master:

• fasten two pairs of pallets together - with self-tapping screws and using special fasteners (to enhance strength, treat the joints with wood glue);
• attach the backrest, build armrests;
• Line the surface of the sofa with a breathable material such as agrofibre to protect the seats from dust. Place soft pillows or a mattress on top of the base of the sofa, and your New furniture ready.

Additional items

From the remaining boards you can make drawers with handles (dimensions 35 x 38 x 10 cm). which will extend from the space between the base pallets. To make them glide better, secure sheets of plywood to the crossbars.

On a note! From six Euro pallets 120 x 80 centimeters you can assemble corner sofa.

Can also be used standard pallets, but then the furniture will be more bulky. The pallets are placed one on top of the other in three pieces and fastened together, and then with each other. To fasten the halves of the sofa at an angle, in addition to metal fasteners at the joints, use polyurethane foam. The backrest is made from boards or a spare wooden platform.

Beautiful outdoor sofa from wooden pallets- garden furniture option

If you want to be able not only to sit on the sofa, but also to sleep, build a sofa bed with a box for a standard mattress. Cut out the middle support in the pallets, fix the cut out part between the sides - you will get a structure with sides, its perimeter corresponds to the perimeter of the bottom of the sofa. The height of the vertical corner posts depends on the thickness of the future mattress. The finished box is placed on two pallets connected to each other and secured with self-tapping screws.

Lounge sofa and step sofa

Designer eco-furniture is not cheap, but after gaining some experience, you will be able to create the most exquisite objects from “wooden construction sets” yourself. Sofas in eco-style can complement almost any interior: a low sofa on a base made of one row of pallets will remind you of the decor of an Asian home, a corner sofa made of dark or light wood is appropriate in a kitchen decorated in country style, and a simple, sturdy bench with bright pillows will give a special coziness balcony in a high-rise building. Well, when you master the craft to such an extent that you yourself are ready to give a master class to beginners, you can move on to more complex options.

Try making a multifunctional sofa for relaxing and an unusual stepped sofa-terrace:

• Sofa for relaxation. From pallets you can build a spacious and comfortable spot for relax. On the wide back of such a sofa it will fit desk lamp, book, tablet, mobile phone. The armrests should also be wide. Attach small platforms-trays and assemblies to them, on which you will place a cup of coffee or a plate with sandwiches. On the shelves between the pallets it is convenient to store books, magazines, and put gadgets to recharge.
• Sofa terrace. It resembles a staircase with two or three wide steps: at the base of the upper tier there are three rows of pallets, at the base of the second - two, and the lowest is fixed on one row. Instead of "laying" under each level different quantities platforms, tiers can be fixed on thick bars-legs of different heights and play on the fact that standard and Euro pallets have different sizes. Collect upper tier from pallets oriented in width (120 x 100 cm), the second from the same pallets with the narrow side turned towards them (100 x 120 cm), and the third from Euro pallets turned with the narrow side (120 x 80 cm).

Know! Such a sofa cannot be called folding, because its parts are not fastened together. A folding one is, after all, a slightly different option.

But if you choose the desired height of the legs, the second level can be easily pushed under the first, and the third under the second, and the structure will take up less space.

Unleash your imagination!

Depending on the purpose and style of the piece of furniture, you can play with the natural texture of wood, paint the frame in bright color or contrasting shades. Colorless or tinted clear varnish will help preserve and emphasize the texture of the material. Pallets can only be painted acrylic paints, water-based ones are not suitable for wood.

The frame should be in harmony with the soft details in texture and color:

• if it is made in the style of rural minimalism (a deliberate illusion of untreated wood), sew or order pillows for it from a fabric reminiscent of burlap, rough canvas or tartan;
• contrasting (white to black and vice versa) or bright, multi-colored and variegated patterned pillows are suitable for a plain white or black base;
• for a summer house it is better to choose dark seats;
• if the frame is painted blue, red, green and others bright colors, the color of accessories should be black, white or neutral warm shades.

Pallets are a simple, inexpensive, natural material. With their help, you can create dozens of different useful things for a private house, country house, apartment, garage.
