This line of brackets and hardware will surely be useful to attach framing:

Can be screwed to the floor or, if you are good with a welder,...

Hmm I like that if I use wood framing. Just make sure you have good ventilation as welding galvanized stuff is naaaaaaasty.

Being good at welding means that you know how to handle the situation. Otherwise make yourself a favour and:
1) learn
or 2) don't do stuff you do not have enough knowledge about.

Are you saying I'm am missing out by not huffing the fumes from over heated zinc? <kidding, just kidding

Back in the day they would have just told you do drink plenty of milk while welding galvanized stuff, not that the milk would really do anything. Now days you can get some really overpowered fume extractors with filters that even make the EPA happy.

To be fair you should always have good ventilation while welding anything.

I would just run a bolt through the brackets and the floor and rivet it to the roof let it flex some while you are going down the roads

MILK???. Yuck!. Every welder worth his salt knows that beer is the universal cure-it-all.

I think the milk was in addition to the beer.

Milk is just one more product that is endorsed for the purpose of big company profit.

In reality, it is no good for anyone to drink.

It causes more harm to the human body than good.

Have you ever seen a grown-upped cow drinking milk?

Yes but not from the udder of another cow. They are really stupid animals.

I got the point.

Almost no other animal on this planet drinks milk after infancy.

And humans are no different.

I took a dairy and beef cattle management classes in college, number one those are some of the only animals I have seen that can break their own neck in a gate. Number 2 stock yard beef is some scary stuff and the mega dairies out west are not much less scary (or stinky). There should never be over 100,000 head of cattle in a 10 mi radius.

I agree.

Free range should be the only way.

Pallets hear at work are coated with a cheap wax to repel water. They are not pressure treated. I'm going to do some research on pallet burning. [QUOTE
It is far more important to never burn treated wood so don't burn pallets.[/QUOTE]

A quick google search reveals that pallets mark MB (methyl bromide) Are NOT safe to burn. Almost all other pallets are ok to burn. Very few pallets contain MB and are costly so they are seldom used.

Pallets could have god knows what soaked into them don't burn them for as many times as they get reused. It isn't worth the risk. Or if you do have plenty of ventilation and drink some milk and beer for good measure.

I burn oak and maple pallets in the wood stove all the time. Make sure they are stamped HT (heat treated). It's pretty easy to tell if they are contaminated with oil and chemicals from use. They stain easily.

My inner hippy is sad, on the inside there is an actor playing a native american shedding a single tear for the burning of the pallet. Please recycle pallets or at least make something neat with them (while fire is neat its impermanence renders it void for this discussion).

You're missing a big point here, CaptainInsaneo. Burning pallets IS recycling them for another use. It is very common to heat with wood around here (a fully renewable resource). We use pallets for many other purposes as well, but the good, clean oak and maple pallets often get burned to keep us alive in the winter...

Yes, fire is neat! And a necessity. Heat isn't just fun in the winter, it's required. Up here we die if come December there is no constantly operating heat source. The heat can come from many sources: propane, natural gas, coal, electricity (if you're on the grid), old tires, wood. Of all those listed heat sources wood is the cleanest solution while still being accessible to us and many other folk. Pallets are wood. Some pallets are clean...
