pallet collars
« on: September 10, 2006, 21:38 »
I had a couple of these for some time before I found out what they were.

Imagine a rectangle of planks on edge, hinged with galvanised hinges at the corners, which hinges  have a downwards and upwards projection so that they can be stacked to make a raised bed of the desired height.
("Real" use is to build a crate with pallet base and a lid.)

I saw some in with a heap of pallets at my friendly local garage and asked what they were called, as I had been looking around trying to find some more, hindered by not knowing what I was looking for.

They gave me a dozen!

Useful things to have as-
 go flat when not in use
 as you get old and decrepit you can gradually make your bed higher
 portable
 free (in my limited experience)
 
There seem to be a variety of sizes (mine are 4 or 5 foot by 3, 6 inches deep or thereabouts)

Good for salads, seedlings, cucurbits  etc

If this is common knowledge, please ignore, but I've not seen them mentioned elsewhere

Nice one Dave - I'd never heard of them so can't be such common knowledge.
Check out our books - ideal presents
