2. Cut the slats for about 36 inches in length.

4. Take three wooden boards (slats are made by cutting the boards into two pieces).
5. The length of the board should also be about 36 to 38 inches long.
6. Put these boards on equal distance parallel to each other.
7. Attach the first slat perpendicular to these boards with the help of nails and a hammer.
8. Keep joining the slats on boards from one side.
9. It takes almost 7 slats to attach on these three boards on one side.
10. Now turn the frame and repeat the procedure of joining slats to boards from the other side.

11. It also takes 7 slats; make it sure that you are not using the nails more than 2 inches in length.
12. One pallet frame is ready. Repeat the procedure to make another pallet frame with slats and board.

2. Use a primer to paint the pallets. Use any color to paint your pallets to prolong its life.
3. Give some time to painted pallets so that paint gets dry.

4. Since you have two pallet frames now, you need to join the two pallet frames so that you can get a pallet bed frame of 3 inches wide and 6 inches or 6.3 inches in length.
