Went full retard/redneck last weekend
 

We re-purposed some pallets I got from work and I pay to get rid of. So, our camper sits on a low spot of the property and I realized we need to be off the dirt (soon to be mud) so we built a 8' x 20' deck :shots:

All of this is temporary until I get closer to retirement so I figure if it lasts a year or more we're good, besides, I have an unlimited supply of pallets :Jeff '79: :Jeff '79:



Sunrise (this) and sunsets up there are spectacular :datawiz:

What kind of stain are you going to use?

Yep, it qualifies for multiple categories.

Redneck - CHECK
Functional - CHECK
Economic - CHECK

I figure something simple like Thompsons water seal should work :seasix:

I only tacked the deck down for now because the blocking/shimming is sketchy at best, I didn't want to pull a million screws out to adjust it later :Jeff '79: Once it settles and all is good, we go back for thanksgiving we'll give it a seal

Looks great! Enjoy!



:cert:

Git-r-done :D

That wood works.......:seasix:

Hard to tell in the pics, but are you not able to fully extend the steps?

You might build another step or two and just leave them fully retracted.

:seasix::cert::seasix:

No, the steps didn't fully open. It was a three step system, it's now a two step system (sawzall fix) :D Remember, we're talking redneck here... :Jeff '79:

What racecar drivers number you going to paint on the deck?

#CompleteTheRedneckTransformation

3 and 8 of course :D

Based on the little bit I’ve used RV steps I’d think you be best to fold them up and build a little 2-3 step wooden step instead

After Super Storm Sandy the 4 of us got many many pallets and laid them down in the sand and used them as decks for a year or so until we could all get on same page for replacement decks.

Now redneck yourself a lean to roof and storage. :seasix::cert::seasix:

:yesnod: The RV steps are dangerous, I took a header out the camper once when it was still in the driveway at home

:clap:

:smash:

:DAB:

You will probably be eaten by bears before the deck wears out.

Now you gotta gitcha some concrete blocks and a rusted out pick up to put on 'em.

Pallets rot within a year here in FL, especially if they're sitting on bare ground.

They don't use treated wood.




Sorry, MeanZ06. Guess this means you're bear bait.


:sadangel:

red neck is leaving off the top plywood...……….a hell of an obstacle course sober!:D:seasix:
