Plastic Pallets Used For Driveway Design

Although our typical customers are businesses, we sometimes receive requests for our plastic pallets from homeowners. One of the more common uses of plastic pallets by homeowners is for protecting household items from minor flood damage. In fact, several requests came in recently after Hurricane Irene marched up the east coast in August dumping lots of rains.

The unfortunate result of the storm, of course, was rivers overflowing banks and homes flooding. Many of those homeowners were already using wood pallets to elevate appliances and other home goods. After floods soaked the wood, homeowners turned to plastic pallets as an alternative.

So... while we are used to homeowners using plastic pallets in basements, we had a much more unique request - pallets for a driveway. This particular homeowner came up with the very creative idea of using pallets as a pattern for his driveway. To be specific, he liked the top deck design of our 100 ACM plastic pallet.

We're not exactly sure how he put the pallets to use. He mentioned something about burying the pallets in the ground beneath the driveway. We can imagine possibly using the plastic pallet as a "concrete stamp" for creating a stamped concrete driveway or patio. Either way, we were happy to supply plastic pallets for this homeowner's driveway project.
