A pallet construction incorporating protective members fabricated of metal, plastic, or other impact resistant material for engaging end portions of the pallet to shield against damage. The protective members comprehend cap portions for embracing stringer end portions, blocks, or other deck supporting components, with said caps being secured to the embraced portions beneath the deckboards. Flanges may be provided upon caps at the end of said protective members for direct securement to the upper surface of the deckboards as well as, optionally, to the under surface of the underlying portion of the pallet. With pallets of block type construction, side protective members may be included to cooperate with the end protective members for reinforcement throughout the entire periphery of the pallet.
