How to make?
As it has become a popular furniture in the decoration of environments, the market already offers ready-to-use pallet sofa models. However, the cheapest way to purchase this piece of furniture is to adhere to the do it yourself movement, from the English do it yourself (DIY), that is, assembling the sofa on your own. If that is your goal, then the first step is to define the size and height of the sofa you want to build, as you will need to provide pallets for this project.
The pallet can be purchased in several ways: through supermarket warehouses and fairs where this material is used and disposed of, or through the internet, where it is also possible to find new pallets. Remember that it is important to pay attention to the quality of the material, as well as the pattern and size of the pallet, in order to create a standardized structure for your sofa.
In addition, it is essential that the wood is sanded and treated to prevent the appearance of termites. It is also important to remember that the amount of pallets that will be used will depend on the height of your sofa. If you prefer the conventional height, you will need to stack more than one pallet, and with three layers you can create a tall, well-structured sofa. However, if you have no problem using a shorter model, you can use one or two layers of this material.
Pallet sofa step by step
After defining the shape of your sofa and purchasing the pallets, it’s time to get your hands dirty! This walkthrough contains the basic instructions for you to assemble your sofa at home. Check out the instructions below.
- First, wipe the entire wooden structure of the pallet with a cloth.
- Then use a 60 or 80 sandpaper to sand the pallet completely, until all the splinters are removed.
- Check for nails. If present, it is necessary to remove them with the aid of a hammer.
- To seal the wood, it is essential to apply varnish, with the help of a brush, throughout the structure. But if you want to change the color of the pallet, it’s important to apply a coat of white latex paint as the base of the paint. Only after this paint dries, you apply another two layers of water-based enamel paint, in the color of your choice.
- Now just wait for it to dry to place a pallet on top of the other, if your sofa has more than one layer.
- Then just provide the pillows to complete your decoration!
