There is not always a desire to spend money on buying certain furniture. But this is not necessary. After all, you can do something yourself. In the modern world, with such a variety of tools and materials, it will not be difficult to make children's beds from natural wood.
What is required to build a bed
To assemble the crib you will need the following:
- Side boards. They need 4 bars and 18 round posts. Through holes must be made in the bars on the end side so that all parts can be bolted together.
- To assemble wooden beds with your own hands, you will need an end board. It will require 14 bars of various sizes and 12 round posts, 4 of which should be slightly narrower.
- Dno. For the bottom you need 2 wide thick bars, 4 thinner bars, twice as small as the previous ones, 1 sheet of plywood.
- Assembling wooden beds with your own hands without fasteners will not work. You will need 8 hidden bolts, nuts, washers, 4 legs that can be unscrewedfrom unwanted old furniture.
In order to make wooden beds with your own hands, you will need the following tools: a hacksaw, a flat surface, stationery, a tape measure, corners, a screwdriver, pliers, a drill.
Starting to assemble the bed
Let's start assembling. Knowing the algorithm of work, you can continue to assemble wooden beds with your own hands. You should immediately pay attention to the fact that the parts are attached to each other with corners, and not with bolts. We drill through holes in the bars and insert them into each other, fixing with glue. When sawing off, it is necessary to strictly observe the dimensions so that the bottom panel of the bed matches the width of the mattress. The legs for the bed, if available, are put on glue. You can also make your own supports. To do this, we cut a wooden beam into equal parts. In addition, to make a children's bed, we purchase a mattress that matches the size of the bottom panel, or we adjust the old one to the required parameters. After that, we attach the legs to the transverse side panels. To do this, we leave gaps of 1.5 cm across the entire main panel of the bed, so that later the supporting bars can be fixed. After that, we attach the legs to the furniture we assemble, and also install the longitudinal part of the bed. Next, we fix the base for the hinge and install the hinge itself. For the base of the bed, it is recommended to choose plywood, as it is light and strong enough.
What can be said in conclusion
A homemade wooden bed not only saves money, but also keeps a piece of the master himself. In addition, making a bed is a creative process, and after assembly, you can design it, which will make it even more unique. In any case, you yourself choose the way to create a bed. You can do everything yourself, or you can order from professionals. And if you chose the first option, then good luck in creating such a wonderful piece of furniture!
