I caught the tail end of one of those home and garden shows talking about building a deck with wood pallet and wanted more information..problem is I can't remember what show it was on.

With all due respect...WHY?
I suppose if you have a large number of them hanging around you could, but as one answer states it seems you'd have to Spend money to modify them into a viable Deck surface.
First of all they are obviously created for a very specific purpose, and subtly are considered disposable at some point, through various methods.
Most often made of low grade scrap, as it relates to JUNK OAK, it isn't assumed that they will be found by someone creative, and are pretty much biodegradable (A good thing)
If you don't actually Have any, certainly don't BUY any, and most often,,,as I have found anyone having pallet deliveries is already connected to a "pick Up"/Recycle service.
For a DECK, if you choose to use, I hope you have a decent medical insurance policy, as well as a decent homeowners insurance policy with adequate "liabilty" coverage.

To do it you would need a pallet with a solid deck. Which means no holes in the top. You would have to lay them on sold base first. They couldn't be used off the ground.

Along with stone, mud and animal parts, wood was one of the first materials worked by early humans. Microwear analysis of the Mousterian stone tools used by the Neanderthals show that many were used to work wood. The development of civilization was closely tied to the development of increasingly greater degrees of skill in working these materials.

good idea for recycling pallets but the wood is not treated so might not be best choice of wood. Some pallets are heat treated oak .... suggest you use these only.

I am not a builder but I can tell you that if you don't use pressure treated wood your deck will rot and someone might get hurt when they fall trough it . Use at your own risk!
