Use pallets as bases to hop onto other stuff. Make smaller platforms too
(out of scrap wood) because they are a challange. If you want to design
it for yourself, build most of it within your abilities. Put some
things that you think are too big though, 'cause you will get them
eventually!

For starters stack up some pallets so you can go from one to three to
six or something like this:
___
___ ___
___ ___
___ ___ ___

Then throw in skinnies and whatever you want inbetween stacks of
pallets. It will get you started. Be creative!

Search thread title "trials obstacle ideas" or something like that. The
A frame pallet design would work great if you have that many pallets.
Gives it more of a vareity.

HI LUCAS!
GOOD JOB ON GETTING ALL OF THOSE PALLETS! WHERE DID YOU GET THEM?

It's fun to turn pallets upside down and use the 3 planks to do some
precision gapping.

If you've got any strong planks you can make little ramps. They're
quite fun and there's a lot you can do with them.

Get some tyres too! They're awsome! 😄

-You could get a strip of stainless steel and glue or screw it to some
pallets to do some grinding.-

LUCK (Z0R) !
There's 1million and 1 pallet factories around the Industrial parts of
Sheffield but they're all "£5 a pallet" 🙄.

I'll have to keep an eye out for closing-down businesses.

_______

Where did all the pallets from the BUC come from? Did they cost?

________

Where is a good place to find pallets anyhow? Apart from abandoned ones
lying in roads...

I need to get my hand on some extra metal, rails, pipes, pallets, mainly
the plastic kind (they dont break when I jump on them) and lots of logs
and other stuff.

I have a alley behind my house, that is never used, cause there was
never a road built there, its just a big long area of dirt and some
stumps, you cant drive though it at all, but I want to use that for a
course.

Go to stores, and ask if they have any they can give away, they usually
do, or go to a construction site, they have lots of stuff they dont
want anymore.

Yeah, ive never thought of that but go to a construction site they would
have many things they dont want, you could use for a Trials Course.

Check out nearby farms, occasionally they may have a few hiding in the
brambles from years ago...
edit - I was referring to the tyres...

Some pallets are made of cheap wood and will break rather quickly. To
extend the life of your pallets, put one or two 2x4s inbetween the
slats and screw / nail in in place to reinforce the flimsy wood. You
could also disassemble one pallet for the materials to reinforce a few
others.
