Hey guys ive been reading all your comments. I should have been more clear in the video. Yes I am aware it's going to rot. I live in a rental and the deck was only meant to last a year before I rip it up. Also all of the wood except 4 boards came from free pallets. The only reason I'm commenting this is for the people who are loosing their minds about the rot.

You may be causing some potential issues with penetrative damp into your property
Desde Colombia 🇨🇴, Gracias,es una muy buena idea profesional, fácil y económica.
I like the way you put the boards on the pallets. As for the comments about rot, people buy tires for vehicles but they wear out and rot.
First I'd like to say, the deck came out pretty cool.
Also, beautiful dogs. Especially the boxer, I have 2 girls.
The pallets could last if you get the ones with the stamp on them meaning they're heat and termite treated. I'm a truck driver and deliver freight to the Airport and all pallets need that incase of a fire or if they go into a different country.
And like you mention on the description, it's a $100 deck. Can't expect it to last forever lol
Don't want a $100 deck.
I especially like the trip hazard boarder applied at the last minute
Aside from it's temporary nature,
(the rot issue that has already been discussed)
Keep in mind "time is money" how much time have you invested in this project?
How much is your hourly rate worth??
You obviously spent a lot of time collecting all these pallets, and then leveling the base pallets, dismantling the remaining pallets for the decking (very hard work as most pallets are made of hard wood and built to NOT come apart under extreme loads), this is a lot of time just in the video, not including the pallet collecting ie travel time, calling around to find out where to get pallets, cleaning out your vehicle due to dirty old pellets, and pulling out all the splinters left in your vehicles cargo space fabric left by the pallets, so maybe a $100 in materials but Your time investment is crazy.
If you had plenty of time to blow I guess thats fine, but most folks like to use there time more wisely.
Nice looks good..
So what would you do differently from your build on your property,with pallets,for a shed?
Very nice! I may have missed it, but what did you do to anchor it to the ground to prevent lift and wind, etc.?
That looks great I want one. My area is smaller than that so it would be even cheaper
