Martin, from Wigan, UK, sent in this great idea for up-cycling wooden pallets. Let’s take a look at it…

What did you do?

A sun lounger made from 2 pallets and a off cut of marine ply.

Make sure you use the thick pallets so there is more strength in the wood.

Do you have any other projects planned?

I have just completed a large planter for my mum, which was also made from pallets.

Tell the Housebound With Kids community a bit about yourself…

My name is Martin and I am from the northwest of the UK. I live with my wife Christina and 2 boys, Caleb aged 10 & Lucas aged 7.

How are you finding being housebound so far?

I am finding it relatively easy to be honest as long has we keep ourselves busy & active the days go by quickly.

Do you have any tips for other parents?

Try and split the day up as much as you can with a mixture of school work creative activities and also chuck in as much fun in as you can.

Has being part of our community helped you?

There have been a lot of great ideas been put out there to help us all through this strange time.
