SUPPORT NO MATTER WHAT The Purple™ Platform Base is the strongest platform on the market thanks to its thicker center legs. These provide added support in the center of the mattress where you need it. TAKE ME HIGHER The base is 16.5 inches tall, making it 2.5 inches taller than standard foundations. With a taller base you don’t need that creaky boxspring and you can store more under your bed. A BASE YOU CAN TAKE ANYWHERE The Purple™ Platform Base is lightweight, so it’s easy to change up your room design or move to a new home. The frame is so easy to set up and unfold a sasquatch could do it. LIFETIME WARRANTY We’re sure this platform is so solid that it’ll never break. That’s why we include a lifetime warranty with every base.Be the first to reviewHome / Customer Service / Shop Internationally Planning a visit to the United States?

Show All ItemsBuild a queen size platform bed on the cheap, with storage space underneath, for less than $30, in about an hour, and learn some basic carpentry skills in the process. Please read the "design objective" below.//id/Cheap-easy-low-waste-trestle-table/As a professional carpenter, furniture maker, and designer/builder, I see a lot of home carpentry projects that are grossly overbuilt and over-engineered. One of the goals of this Instructable is to avoid the unnecessary overbuilding that I frequently see on this site, and that I see every day working in the residential construction industry. Many of the building methods we (in the US) use today are horribly wasteful despite the advances that have been made in materials science and structural engineering, because most people in the residential building industry, from architects and engineers to carpenters, are mired in tradition, doing things a certain way "because that is how it has always been done", rather than consulting the best available science
, or even questioning their own assumptions about "the right way to do it". I don't intend to knock tradition, either. Many of the tricks, techniques, and tools that I use daily are definitely "old-school", but seem to have been forgotten.This bed is designed to be cheap, lightweight, sturdy, and produce a minimum of waste, using a minimum number of tools. It is intended for use with a futon or mattress without a boxspring and provides storage space underneath sized to fit common cheap plastic storage bins. It also provides good ventilation for the futon or mattress, something that I learned was necessary after my expensive futon grew a large mold/mildew patch on the underside. For those who might think that this bed is flimsy, my wife and I use it nightly, and I am 6'-5" and weigh 240lbs. I wouldn't jump up and down in the middle of it, but it will easily take any other abuse you commit upon it. When I calc it out, this bed uses 23.16 board feet of lumber (1 bd.ft.= 144 cu.in.), or 1.93 cubic ft., and produces only 42 cubic inches of waste, about 1.25%.
Instructables member frazeeg has posted a SketchUp model here.Step 1: Materials and ToolsShow All ItemsI was able to pick up these materials locally for just under thirty bucks. Bonus points for using reclaimed or scrap lumber. Material: (4) 14' 1x4 #3 and better pine (1) 10' 1x4 #3&btr pine (2) 10' 2x4 Std&btr fir larch (8) 3" #10 wood screws (72) 2" #10 wood screws Try and pick fairly straight, pitch (sap) free lumber, if your local lumberyard lets you do so. Some yards are stingy about this. Try telling them that you are building a bed, and that you would rather not have pitch all over your mattress/futon and floor. The finished dimensions of the top of the bed are 76" x 55". A queen mattress is 60" x 80". The slight mattress overhang covers up the ends of the slats and keeps the user from bumping their legs on them, and uses standard lumber lengths efficiently.A note on screws: I am a professional carpenter and furniture maker, and I make things easier on myself by NEVER using Phillips head screws.
The Phillips head was designed to "cam out" at a fairly low torque for assembly line work before the advent of adjustable torque limiting drill/drivers. I use only Robertson square drive or Torx head screws, and save myself a lot of time and frustration. Tools: Saw (Skil, hand, jig, or miter. Shown is a Skil) Square (Speed, framing, or try.
