I, and many other kind users, have replied to many of them with the dimensions for just about every bed size available. Cheers!Nice !!! I frequently use mine to drive 12" to 20" long "timberlock" or "olly" screws while timberframing and installing SIPS panels, and have even used it to remove the lugnuts on my truck a time or two, not to mention siding two houses using solely screws as fasteners, and half a dozen+ metal roofs. 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.
some good bed ideas in this post . Just make sure that all seams meet on a piece of lumber so they have support below them.Use screws to assemble it, and you'll be able to disassemble it and move it later.Something like this might work (use screws instead of the plugs): And you can probably get the cuts done at the lumber store if you plan it all out before going (that way you wouldn't need a saw).I'd look through this list for some more inspiration: For some reason I was afraid trying to use screws by hand would just result in stripping the tops....New comments cannot be posted and votes cannot be castA place where people can come to learn and share their experiences of doing, building and fixing things on their own.Press J to jump to the feed.

You are right, it was the wrong link! Ta-da! So you will only need a top mattress. I charge $30 plus a 12-pack of beer for mine, but you can work that out on your own. 4 years ago Reply
Unfortunately, I used it so much that it was in the shop being repaired when I made this Instructable. No box springs needed. And we have a bunch of DIY bed frame tutorials for you to prove it. Fans of the cinder-block-and-plank bookshelf will find this design for a platform bed familiar and even complementary to what they already have. After this step, there is no need to predrill any more holes, so put the countersink away.Assemble the 2x4 frame, using the 3" screws to attach the shorter 2x4s to the longer 2x4s, "capping" the ends of the longer 2x4s (refer to diagram). Might help to throw some glue in there unless you want to be able to take it apart easy.I didn't make a material list of what I used but I made it to fit under a twin which is 38 x 75 mattress.
