building plats or pallots

Hey guys,

I was thinking about building some plats. I have plenty of pallets and tobacco sticks. I have two questions. Do you all use galvanized screws? I think the sticks should be screwed twice, but since there are more slats on top of pallet, do you add a few boards (or slats) to the bottom of the pallet to put that second screw in? I know it is not rocket science, but I was just wondering how you all built them.

Thanks

more screws the better.

We put the side with least boards up and nail uprights(stakes) to the larger middle boards (2x4)usually . Usuning hardwood pallets can be tough to nail into without nail gun. We use whatever nails we can get but galvanized or coated nails should last longer.

thanks for the info, maybe I can post some pics and yall can tell me what I did wrong :)
