Pallets in fields

Not really. Wood laying on the ground will eventually get some rot where it contacts the ground in a couple of years. I had some left over rebar from my house build laying on the ground for 4 or 5 years before it developed some surface rust.

Now weeds come up every spring no matter how dry the winter was. I guess a couple of millions of years of evolution taught them how.

Thanks. I asked a similar question of someone who had visited Dick Proenneke's cabin in Alaska. It was difficult for me to believe he could lay the bottom logs on the ground and expect the cabin to last.

Looks like a paint-ball course.

Pallets are vey versatile... as this thread proves!

Thank you! Case closed. I see the inverted "V" in that picture. It's just for farmers looking to play paintball!

There is a study going in Florida on the aerodynamics of pallets.



It sounds very complicated.

So far, the study has concluded that “pallets are the hero’s after hurricanes” and “I could find no evidence of pallets causing injury”.

This could become a full fledged governmental grant.

For some reason, I couldn't see the entire article, but then "I'll get back to you on that."

The pallet scientists will probably have to do some long division before they come to a conclusion. I think I'll wait for a summary.

Wouldn't it be something if the summary was given by Sparc?

Sparc would be the perfect person to post the summary.

Oh we have a lot of questions of old Sparcy.....

The possibilities, however numerous, could be quite sparc-tacular, or at least very energizing for discussions to further illuminate this threadsshared knowledge.....

COMPTON, Calif. – A huge fire visible across Los Angeles burned stacks of pallets in a commercial yard and buses parked in a neighboring lot early Friday.

The inferno erupted in Compton before dawn and created a massive column of smoke that rose high into the sky and spread widely across the metropolitan area.


I am guessing someone got tired of the pallet threat and decided to take some action of their own!.
