Bus Stop Shelter Made From Wood Pallets
Gerald Wright, Pendleton, Ky., used wood pallets to make an open-front "bus stop" for his six children at the end of his 480-ft. long driveway.The "bus stop" is 6 ft. 4 in. wide, 7 ft. 4 in. high, and about 7 ft. deep and has a tin roof. Wright bought the pallets from a ware-house supplier for Ford Motor Co. Body parts for the company's semi-truck cabs are built in South America and shipped by sea on 7-ft. square pallets to the company. The pallets have a solid deck made from 2-in. lumber mounted on 4 by 4 skids. Wright used four of the oversize pallets to build the bus stop, using pole barn nails to hold them together.
