I used two of the three pallets I found, along with some scrap 2" x 4"'s I found, as well as scrap pieces of plywood (behind the bicycle) for the shelves. It's important to make sure the pallets are the same type, as some use 2" x 4"'s in the center and others are thinner and wider. I also used a box of 2 1/2" screws to hold it all together, and 1 1/4" screws for the pieces of shelving and the gap fillers for the top of the bench. I also added a various assortment of screw hooks to the shelves and supports.
