Pallets come in many shapes and styles. They're made from lots of different types of wood. They are readily available for free.
In fact, most companies pay people to take them away.
But there's a catch: pallets aren't easy to take apart. They're also usually not made of very good lumber. If you use them for projects, you're going to spend A LOT of time dismantling them and you're not going to get much from a single pallet.
If you're expecting perfection, than pallet lumber may not be right for you. You can try salvaging used material from places like craigslist. I collected an impressive amount of wood for my other pallet instructable, the Pallet Playhouse.
If you're not interested in turning a pallet into something else or trucking around the nation looking for free stuff, substitute the pallet wood for some nice cedar or pressure treated wood. I made a PT set in a similar pattern that's held up for 11+ years of direct exposure to the elements. They're still perfectly sound. You won't get that kind of performance from pallet wood.
I get my pallets from my employer. They throw them away, into a dumpster if I don't get to them first. They pay to have the dumpster emptied, of course, so they're more than happy to give me as many as I want.
Only about one in ten of the pallets I came across were the kind I wanted. I tried to find ones that were brand-new, roughly 48" x 35", and were constructed of (3) notched 2'x4's connected by 3/4" inch nominal boards (commonly called "one by" lumber.) Usually, one side is rough sawn and the other is finished. All of them were heat treated (marked "HT") and held together by nearly indestructible spiral nails.
After I posted my first pallet project to Instructables, a lot of people commented about the dangers of pesticide-treated pallets. For the record: I only use certified pallets. That means that the pallets are inspected, and certified to be either heat-treated (marked HT) or fumigated with Methyl Bromide (marked BM). It also states that the pallet must be marked with either the HT or MB stamps.
Pallets are everywhere. As I mentioned, I get mine from my workplace, but thousands of other businesses are constantly looking for someone to take them away. I've gotten them from supermarkets, restaurants, and office buildings. I've had a number of people recommend carpet companies, furniture stores or outlets, and atv/snowmobile dealers.
