Here is a great way to build trials obstacles with pallets (or most
other types of building material) with minimal nails so you can easily
take it apart and re-use it.
Plus, it is much stronger then nails.
Get a racheting tie-down strap with hooks on the ends (the kind they
use to secure big loads onto trucks, that sort of thing) wrap it once
around everything, and crank it down.

What I've done here is set up two in an A shape, then stood one on
either side for more support. I couldn't go around the whole thing, so
I had to go around part of it, as you can see.

Then you can stack one on top for a platform, or leave it like it as
for a giant sandwhich board thing. This is a little over 5 feet off the
ground, and almost rock solid. I only used two straps, and one nail to
keep the top pallet in place.
Of course there are tons of possiblities, just stand the pallets on end
and crank 'em all together. Go ahead and squeeze the daylights out of
it.
(sorry about the pictures, the lighting isn't very good. And it looks
crooked, but it's not really.)
