build a wooden bed frame

Just found this site. Awesome. Last thing i built, I totally had to wing it.

ok ok a blog. big deal. were are the damn plans??

I got a leep number bed and rather than buy the bottom frame for $400plus I want to build a box frame and lag bolt the legs for extra support. Looking for inside suport or measurements. Small room needs simplicity

if this works

My husband and I would like to make a bed that has four trees as the posts.
Like, find four tall sturdy trees of a relatively similar height, uproot them, use water pressure to clean them, and cover them in lacquer, and use them in the place of the posts on an already existing bed frame.

I dunno if that would even work. lol

I like soft mattresses, and my girlfriend likes hard mattresses. We hated the sleep number and we just bought a $2000 Tempurpedic last year that she says kills her back. As a last resort, we’d like to put our hard full and our tempurpedic full together, but we’ll need to build a super-sturdy extra-large custom bed frame to do it.

I bought a Queen size mattress, so I tweaked the design to accommodate the new size. I bought the wood for the top part of the frame (the part that holds the bed) yesterday and I’m going to be putting it all together asap so I can see how it will look and work before I buy the rest of the material. Yay.

I’m excited about building a bed. My plan is to make a custom Eastern King that’s across from the high-rise and platform style frames. I’m actually extremely nervous and worry that I’ll fail epically so if anyone has any pointers for me, I’d very much appreciate it! ;]

was made by my own fair hands! it’s a kind of raised bed with storage underneath which makes a great hide-out! Not bad for something which I just did on a whim, decided to do it to make more room when I was cleaning their bedroom and didnt have enough room to put stuff away. Quite satisfying too. x

I’ve built a large Cal-King four-post bed before but decided that wouldn’t do so I built this platform bed. I just finished it today and set it all up. this was a VERY GOOD thing to do since I made my wife give up her queen bed for a king! It only cost 110.00 to build (I own all my tools already).
