    we do a search and a door knock around the trading estates,some are only to glad to get rid of them,and have even loaded up the much larger ones for us,or put you in touch with another trader who can help,

        I managed to get some off freecycle, but it seems better in some areas than others.

          HA HA HE HE,we have an a 1954 little waggon,the OH uses it for their transport,and,well,is no use going dressed up,now is it,i am sure some people think we a something different,if you have no means of getting them,it maybe not hurt to ask if they can deliver them for you,as it would otherwise cost them to get them removed,good luck in your search,may be a good idea to go armed with a saw,lump hammer and a jemmy bar,no joke.

            Look round the back of DIY shops, builders merchants, furniture shops etc. Go back again after they've shut

              i got mine from the building site out the back of my house i've also had a crate and pallets from the tile shop at the end of the road,who often have loads of pallets they leave out the back. there are often adverts on ebay, though you have to pay for them

                10 pence seems to be the going price for pallets around our way, but the majority are free!

                        one thing you should remember when getting any pallets ,is that any pallet painted blue actually still belongs to the company that made them, so the firm you take them from might not own them,and are loaned untill collected again.
                        a good put down line to use !

                          Chep pallets.They have "CHEP never sells" written on them. Not too hard to miss.
