1. First, you have to check if your wood pallets are safe for reuse or not. This is something you can check with the stamp available on every pallet. We have covered this topic in our article: Is my pallet safe for reuse?
2. If your pallet is safe for reuse, maybe you want to dismantle it to use the planks for your project? Check out the best ways to dismantle a wood pallet!
