DIY: Pallet Dog Beds

Dog beds can get pretty expensive and more and more owners are coming up with creative ways to make their own. While there are plenty of good ideas, one of the most common DIY dog beds is made from pallets! It makes total sense, because you make the bed look however you want and it will be sturdy, comfortable and long­lasting. Check out these awesome, homemade pallet dog beds.

1.  The Basic Bed: If you’re looking for a regular ­looking dog bed that’s easy to put together, this one is for you. It goes with everything in the house and can be made to fit any size dog.

2. Basic Pallet Bed on Wheels:  Want something a little more mobile? Pallet beds can get heavy depending on the size of your dog, so adding wheels will help you move it around the house as needed.

3.  Canine California King: This pallet bed has a large, open feel that your dog is sure to love. Plus, it looks neat sitting around your house!

4.  Customized Bed: There are plenty of ways to add your dog’s name to a pallet bed and we like this idea of adding your dog’s initials using cut­out, painted wood pieces.

5.  The Dog Futon: For those wanting a smaller bed that doesn’t take up as much wall space, you can use a flat pallet and leave the openings for storage underneath. Since there aren’t any sides, it’s a little more inconspicuous but just as cool and comfortable as the others.

6.  Upscale Den:  For those who are a little better with their DIY skills, you might like this layout a little more. This bed is a bit fancier but still uses only a pallet to make a neat piece of furniture.
