I am planning and preparing underwater structure for a pond that will be built on my farm later this summer and I am on the fence concerning using wooden pallets. On the positive side, I have easy access to an almost unlimited number of used pallets, many of which are bigger and sturdier than a normal shipping pallet. But I am also a little concerned about them breaking down over time, etc.

What is the expert opinion on using pallets for structure? If I did use them, I would envision them being under water 100% of the time and would place them on pond bed before it filled. So I could anchor them so they do not move over time. TIA.
