Edit ArticleHow to Build a Wooden Bed Frame Three Methods:Standard Queen BedPlatform BedTwin Size Captain's BedCommunity Q&A Do you have a rickety metal bed frame? Or maybe you keep your mattress on the floor with no frame at all. Have you considered getting a wooden bed frame? It can add a wonderful appeal to your room, and it will get rid of those annoying squeaky metal parts. But keep in mind, they aren't cheap. Here's a simple plan to build your own wooden bed frame that can be modified to any size (or height!) you want. Purchase all the gear you need. See the "Things You'll Need" list below for specific details. The goal is to build a frame that will fit a queen-size mattress (60" wide x 80" long). Beyond that, you'll need to visit your local home improvement warehouse to acquire three basic things: Mount the bed rail hangers. This hardware is essential in forming a rigid connection between all the bed rails in the frame. Secure the bed rail hangers to the end of the side-rail and head post.
Double check that each placement is consistent. Repeat the process for all corners. These hangers can sometimes be hard to find in hardware stores. If so, check online retailers. Bed rail hangers are usually sold 4 sets to a package. In the place of bed rail hangers, you can use 8 long lag bolts. When tightened, the lag bolts make the bed very solid. Lag bolts are also much easier to find than bed rail hangers. Attach the support rails. Create the support blocks. Attach the support blocks. Add the support beams. Insert your plywood mattress surface. Gather your materials and supplies. You'll need a circular saw, a number of basic L brackets, 3" decking screws, some MDF or plywood, and then several cuts of lumber. For lumber, you'll need: Two pieces of 85" 2x4 Five pieces of 67" 2x4 Eight pieces of 19 3/8 2x4 Two pieces of 75" 2x12 Four pieces of 57" 2x12 Create the base frame. Add the base bracers. Create the platform frame.
Add the platform bracers. Add the platform supports. Reinforce the corners and joints. Add the plywood surface.You'll need two Ikea Expedit bookshelves (the 2x4 square size), several feet of velcro, a saw, decking screws, 24 basic L brackets with mounting screws, and lumber in the following cuts: Four 38" pieces of 2x10 Six 28" pieces of 2x10 Four 16 & 3/4" pieces of 1x10 Create the end boxes. Add the center brace. Add in shelves if desired. Add a backing to the end shelves. Add feet to the end shelves. Paint all four bookcases to match. Attach the plywood to the end shelves. Cut a piece of plywood to be 38"x75". With both shelves facing outward and the Expedit shelves dry fit between them, nail the plywood into place by driving two nails through the plywood and into the top of the sides of the end shelves. You can glue on a non-slip mat, like the ones which go under carpets, if you want to. Adjust the Expedit shelves as necessary.
Ikea makes several useful inserts for Expedit shelves. You can add baskets, pull out drawers, or just basic doors, and all come in a variety of colors. Enjoy your new bed! This bed should be used by a child only, as it cannot support extreme weights. Adjust the wood choice for your corners, and you could have a gorgeous four poster bed! (larger diameter, turned posts are all you would need to change to make this bed frame into something amazing.) Sand any rough edges to make the bed frame smooth. Drill pilot holes before screwing any pieces together. Stain the wood using a color you like for an extra nice look.Pallets are used worldwide for all sorts of interesting and useful DIY projects. For example, wooden pallets are often used for making furniture such as bed frames, nightstands and all sorts of other things. There are several advantages which come with using pallets.First of all, you get to recycle.Second of all, it’s very cheap. You can find pallets at local stores or buy them for merely nothing.
Also, it’s very easy to work with pallets.Pallets can be reconfigured in numerous different ways, depending on what you’re trying to build. Let’s say you want to make a bed frame for the bedroom. Stack the pallets one on top of the other and secure them. You can also make nightstands to match the bed frame. By using two stacked pallets you also create useful storage compartments for the bed.Depending on the size of the bed and on the style you prefer, you’ll have to use two or more pallets. You can decide the dimensions of the frame yourself and you can have built-in nightstands or seats. You can also include storage in your design. Most often, pallets are left as such but you can paint the wood if you want it to look more modern or to match the rest of the room’s décor.Bed framed aren’t the only things you can make using pallets. You can even include them into your living room’s décor if you make a frame for the sofa or for the sectional and, while you’re at it, you might as well make a built-in side table too.
