DIY Bed Frame

[Anonymous No.1865407]

So I'm looking for a bed that looks like pic related, two halving joints mounted perpendicular on four posts, with 2x4's with halving joints instead of those cheap 1x3 bed slats.

I was hoping I could buy a kit and just put it together like lincoln logs, but I can't find any. My back is messed up, my neighbor is a carpenter but hes been pretty busy and I'm not sure he has the finishing skills to sand and varnish the wood and build a headboard.

You know where I can buy a kit like this without paying an arm and a leg?

just put the bedframe on the floor, then put the matress on top of the bedrame, now you have a bed.

I don't have a bedframe, mine broke and was cheap and shitty to begin with.

i want to get a new one like pic related.

why the fuck would you ever want that? That's the most retarded fucking bed frame i've ever seen. It's just guaranteed to fuck you up one day. Do you have pic related on your car op?

They don’t they’re just acting like a child or they would have expressed in a semi intelligible way why the bed frame isn’t suitable for you. But... they didn’t.

[Anonymous No.1865446]

i don't know, it doesn't seem like any sort of trade secret or anything. not sure why frames like this aren't more popular.

Are you a couple of asian floor sleeping morons? ALL modern western bed design minimizes hard lateral extrusions because people invariably hit themselves on it. Are you fags such virgins that you cant imagine the pain of fucking your girl (or guy in YOUR case) off the bed and riding them as they scrape across this retarded outcropping? For MOST people, beds are also exercise areas.

See below for reasons why...virgin.

Why 2"x4"? The posts will need to be 6"x6" and the frame is going to stick out quite a bit when you add space for getting you hands under the mattress for making the bed.

i just want them to be sturdier than those stupid 1x3's they use in bedframes you pay for at the store.

[Anonymous No.1865453]

>>1865447
thats not really a problem. I more just want to be able to pack it up and assemble it real easy and not have to disassemble the frame hardware screws. I'm sure you could make a frame like this without the extrusions that relies on the same principle.

[Anonymous No.1865455]

>>1865451
i was thinking the posts would also be 8x8s, not 6x6.

>>1865453
The only thing i'm not sure about is whether the headboard will stay in place and not be too wobbly.

Not a hard design to do. Just a buch of notches really. Built mine beefy. 3x9 posts with 9x9 legs. As anon has said, elephants could fuck on it

Thanks. Admittedly overbuilt. Stacked ply is beastly strong

>>1865840
I could stand to lose 20 pounds. I'm 6'5" and barrel chested. even at my peak I'm a bear. It's not the weight that counts. It's how hard your thrusting that determines your needs. Its diy laminated ply. The outer rails have a 2x6 core to provide better bite for the accessories mounts.

Was at a rental. We bought our first house 2 months after that photo. The break down design made moving it a breeze

you could achieve the same result with just lapping the beams, the post makes it looks crowded imo

Hardest part is the amount of space you need to build it

Only thing left is to build the main accessory module. They mounts under the 4 waffles, giving me 16 constant tension, auto retracting ropes.

[Anonymous No.1866356]

>>1866327
I feel like i’m missing something. What’s the point of the module and why do you need tension? Shouldn’t those wooden prison bars be enough for anyone?

The modules have nothing to do with the structure, they're for playtime. Each module allows for one rope to extend five feet, or two ropes at 2.5 feet. Each pair is actually a single rope so pulling one yanks the other independently of the tension aspect. Having 4 on each of the 4 sides allows flexibility in additive and counterbalanced loads, thus allowing complex tie down arrangements. (Think knees towards head of bed and feet towards foot, while allowing spread force to be applied when she tugs her arms in. The system is good so there is a constant pull instead of tightness at a single length, so I dont have to constantly adjust the tires, and the ropes you actually see can be soft cotton, while the PU cords in the module do the pulling. Also easy clean up. Disconnect and let go, and you'll never know it's there till you need it again.

Me too. Now that I've used it for a year, I can definitely say its stout. Not a single creek or crack. Still need to finnish the head board though

I have something along the lines of OP's frame. Except the mattress platform sits higher, level with the frame rails. The mattress sits on top of the whole thing instead of down inside it. Also, the frame is a few inches smaller than the mattress, so the mattress overhangs it and is the only thing I hit with my shins late at night.

so basically you have a bed as hard as a floor.

There is a frame made out of 200mm x 50mm underneath but just out of view so it cant be seen but nice and heavy/ sturdy so even standing on the corner it doesnt tip or bend, also painted it black so not to attract any attention

Massive overkill.

I made a bed frame for a high school friend whose nickname was "520" as in 5' 20' tall.

He always slept on a foam pad on a plywood platform because no mattress was large enough.

So I made him one you can put together and take apart with just one Allen key and the other were tusk tenons

Why do the bare minimum when diy gets you more bang for the buck?

>>1867520
The modules go under the 4 grid inserts. Each intersection in the grid is threaded top to bottom for a 6 inch 1/4 20 bolt, for 9 mounting holes total. The rails game an insert every 3 inches for any future toys and accessories.
