I might also try to hook two of the linear pallets together (maybe 1' wide scrap pieces of plywood on the face side) to minimize the number of cross bracing pieces. That would cut your pallet needs by about a fourth. And for smaller animals it should still be sturdy enough.

Good job on your score of free pallets. They are getting harder to find.

You could even use one of the worst skids to get your outside brace pieces (to hook two pallets together) by tearing the few worst ones apart.

I love this idea but the ONLY restriction in our township....no fences made out of pallets!!

FYI, I found another place for good pallets....places where they sell air conditioners or parts for them, I have a friend who repairs ACs and picked up some parts for him, when I got around back of the store there were hundreds of them, they were happy to give them away as they usually have to pay to dump them. (Next time I'm taking the trailer lol)
