I made this - and it worked quite well! One cheap change I'd make would be to add two 3ft 2x4 in between the legs at the front and back of the bed. I used a cheap set of joist hangers to keep them in place. The reason I had to add them was because the legs kept tilting inwards, and pushing out the bolts with slow flexing. With that fix to prevent the legs from angling (they push against each other now), the bed is solid for the long haul. Added about $10 to the cost.

When ripping a 2x4 please use a pusher tool and another piece of wood to keep the 2x4 up against the fence. Keep your fingers away from blade. When cross cutting pieces on cut-off saw if you butt each piece up against a fixed stop your risking the chance the cut piece will jam between saw blade and stop. To avoid this put a small piece of wood 1/4" thick between wood and stop. Pull the 1/4" piece away before cutting which will allow clearance. Obviously you have to add 1/4" to measurement.

Since the teeth ended up being 1"by 3.75" I wasn't sure why he didn't just cut 1 inch lengths off the end of the 2x4 using the miter saw. The 3.5ish inch width would probably have been close enough. Just need to leave a little extra wiggle room for each board.

Thank you! We wanted cheap, easy, and something we'd built. It worked out pretty well I'd say!

Looks easy enough but I had a super difficult time trying to get the head/foot bolt holes drilled straight enough to get between the other two bolts on the side rails. I would suggest having two people when it comes to this part because you really need another person to help hold the head/foot boards up while you drill. I would also pay a little more and avoid buying the cheapest lumber you can find. Having super straight (no twisted or warped) boards would also make this a lot easier. One last thing...I tried using the 5" 3/8" bolts but they were too long for the side boards, I ended up using 4.5 " 3/8" bolts and they worked great. Thanks for making something easy enough for this beginner to muddle through. 😉

We had a great time building it!

This video was a God sent 2020 I needed 2 beds and had nothing... I followed your video and made the 2 beds, since then I've made one even taller so I have to climb into bed... and this week just finished 4 night stands and headboard, so THANK YOU, you got me started when I used to have only a circular saw🤦🏻‍♀️👩🏻‍🎨 haha, you folks are marvelous. It's amazing what a miter saw, table saw and planer can offer😃

Thanks for the kind words, and welcome!

Super easy and nice design! The only improvement I might offer would be to suggest you account for the width of the material in your measurements next time so that the frame isn't larger than the mattress. Thanks for sharing!

Agreed. We deliberately made it slightly larger than the mattress because our user wanted the mattress to sit inside the frame. But every mattress is slightly different in size and you can set the dimensions to any size that works for you.

That so brilliant that what I have been looking for

We did two similar frames with 2x4s. Yours is SO much better!
