Not everyone can afford a super cool bunker house or off-grid pad to relax and get away. Mini houses can cost quite a bit and campers are cool, but most of us want something a tad more permanent. So, sometimes you just have to think out side the box a bit, be creative and use materials that are readily available and cheap!<\/p>\n

Check out the awesome shelters below that were built out of pallets<\/a>! Yes! Pallets!<\/p>\n

You can find wood pallets all over the place. Most places are begging people to come and get their overstock of these wooden delights. So seek them out and start building my friends!<\/p>\n

You can\u2019t get much simpler than this. This pallet home is a one room cabin with a simple front porch and a rocking chair. He used a few pieces of sheet metal for the roof and a salvaged window.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"shelter1\"<\/p>\n

The majority of this structure was built using\u00a0re-purposed\u00a0pallets. You can see how the flooring and most of the\u00a0walls use entire pallets to get the cabin off the ground. The decking is also made from pallet materials.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"shelter2\"<\/p>\n

This structure takes on more of a modern look, but still utilizes the wood from pallets to construct the outside walls.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"shelter3\"<\/p>\n

Most everything in this rustic cabin is recycled including the pane windows, doors and roof. It\u2019s a basic one room cabin with front porch appeal. You can create a nice trapping or hunting cabin without spending a boat load.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"shelter4\"<\/p>\n

This is probably one of the better looking and most complete pallet houses we have\u00a0seen. It\u2019s loaded with solar panels, window planters, built-in benching and plenty of outdoor decking.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"shelter5\"<\/p>\n

This is an interesting take on building a pallet home. This one is built around a tree and multi-level complete with a balcony on the 2nd floor and a porch surround on the bottom floor.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"shelter6\"<\/p>\n

This storage shed could be used as a habitat or for general storage. It looks like maybe the pallets were sanded down quite a bit to achieve a less rustic look. The shed is finished off with shingled roofing.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"shelter7\"<\/p>\n

This structure is different from most I\u2019ve seen. It is built in a honeycomb shape leaving gaps between for ventilation. The top is flat but the exterior uses boards angled to deflect rain. The decking is a nice touch which also serves as the interior floor which helps get it off the ground.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"shelter8\"<\/p>\n

This pallet shelter appears to have been claimed by man\u2019s best friend! I really like the greenery planted on the roof and the angled metal roof. It appears the structure is supported on concrete blocks.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"shelter9\"<\/p>\n

Maybe you\u2019d like to bug out by keeping your cabin on wheels? This structure made with pallets is a small one room habitat with windows and a backdoor. The steps can be placed inside once you\u2019re on the road again.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This shelter made with pallets would be useful for a horse stable. Ventilation is promoted with the openings in the pallet walls. The top of it is protected with sheet metal.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"shelter11\"<\/p>\n

Nothing fancy about this particular pallet house. It resembles a shipping container home and laid out with a modern style complete with a back patio and front entry steps.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"shelter12\"<\/p>\n

This is a double decker pallet-shipping container home. It also takes on a modern look completed with a sliding glass door and a covered balcony area on one end and an uncovered balcony on the other.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"shelter13\"<\/p>\n

This is probably my favorite pallet home. It looks like there\u2019s a mini sun-room with the use of the glass on the front. The cabin has a firewood seasoning shelter flanked to the right and small porch area.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"shelter14\"<\/p>\n

This pallet house utilizes a slanted roof used for angling solar panels. The covered porch would be awesome screened in to keep the bugs out. I like the sheet metal accent on the awning as well \u2013 covering what looks like a bar for eating.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"shelter15\"<\/p>\n

This pallet construction looks like it would serve as a great greenhouse with all the windows or a nice reading room.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"shelter16\"<\/p>\n

You can\u2019t forget the dogs! They need a nice shelter too and why not make it from pallets? It\u2019s a perfect little shelter for our canine friends.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"shelter17\"<\/p>\n

You never know when outhouses might be back in style \u2013 here\u2019s one constructed with pallets complete with a crescent moon door and a window with what appears to be a blind to keep peeping eyes away.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"shelter18\"<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a small pallet shelter with a glass door. The structure appears to be using 2\u00d74 lumber for the studs instead of pallet material and OSB board for the roof.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"shelter19\"<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t forget the kids! This is an awesome fort\/playhouse for the kids made mostly of pallets. It has a nice covered porch and a cool balcony. This design could be modified for a really neat cabin for adults too.<\/strong><\/p>\n
