Twin Bed Frame #3 - Side Rails and Platform

The side rails consist of 1x6 pine with a 2x4 glued and screwed on the inside for support. The fastener hardware gets screwed to the 2x4. I added small support piece for next to the 2x4 for the 3rd screw on the hardware.


Here is the bed frame assembled.


The bed-deck is made from 1/2" CDX plywood with support slats, cut from 2x4.


The deck fits into the frame with about 1/4" space to allow it to go in (and come out) easily.


Now we need to prep for painting, prime and paint. I decided to build a night stand with some of the left-over materials (next post).
