Information about building DIY pallets (they're very uncomplicated, so it isn't hard to DIY, though there are a few things to take care of)
benefits of building our own
- We don't have any reliable way to transport fully-constructed pallets to the space. However, we DO have a semi-reliable way to transport disconnected boards.
- we have somewhat specialized requirements, and building our own would let us get the maximum use of our current space
drawbacks of building our own
- pallet assembly is done on such massive economies of scale now, that it may be difficult for us to match (let alone beat) others' prices
- once we move into a larger space, the non-standard pallets we build would probably be seen as more of a nuisance
