DIY 5 Minutes Bed Frame

Easy DIY Wooden Bed Frame Platform made from framing lumber.

In this 5 minute video im showing you how i made my DIY bed frame, all from framing lumber and pocket screws. You can follow my full step by step tutorial on my instructable, i have included several plans from my sketch up build.

I bought all my material at my local hardware store, you can find the list on my instructable.

This king size bed platform is very solid, and the reason i used pocket screw is i can dissasemble it if i move.

I would have had the slats sitting 2 inches lower into the frame so the mattress doesn't slide about, but very well made bed overall

I’ve been working with wood my whole life, I can attest this is one solid piece. The info is clear and to the point. Very well done, sir.

This is incredibly sturdy compared to what is minimally required. Looks amazing

Why the hell would anyone dislike this video? It was great and gives another cool option to build a base for a bed. Nice job man.

I need a new bed and the prices in the furniture stores are frightening plus the quality isn’t amazing. So, I’ll make my own. Thank you for your video and ideas.

Thank you for the video. I was going to buy something like this but now I think I'm going to build it. I work as a mechanic so I have basic hand skills and I own almost all of the tools you have so thanks for that man, I really appreciate it 😊

[RYANMAKO]

Wow looks incredible! My wife and I are looking to do something like this. So thanks for all of the tips and tricks.

Man, this bed looks amazing. I love the sturdiness of it. It looks simple, yet very beautiful. You definitely picked the right color. That's definitely the bed I wana make.

[wahnano]

Oh, what a brilliant idea! And of course, I absolutely cannot wait to gather all the necessary tools for this little endeavour. Oh, the joy of searching and gathering tools. I'm positively thrilled!

Yep you are right it took 5 minutes to watch you work, but 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏to all the hours of labor!!! Amazing job!

[scottydntno]

Why does it seem like everyone else home improvement store has GREAT lumber and MINE always has shitty lumber? LMAO

[chrismoore]

Looks great. You were in kreg jig heaven. I don’t know if I have the patience to make that many pocket holes 😂

[jodymorris]

I also agree that having the slats sitting lower in the frame will keep the mattress in place better! It's still a great build!

[miguelramirez]

This bed certainly looks better and of course stronger than many expensive beds on the market, and it has a cool rustic look to it too, AWESOME WORK!

The moment you accidentally kick the corner of the bed is the moment you fall in love with these kind of the bed design

Me and my father in law are building this bedframe right now with a few modifications: Using the advice in the comments, the length of the boards are being adjusted and the slats sunken in about an inch so the mattress sits in place instead of directly on top. We’re also cutting out parts of both sides of the headboard to fit in an outlet/usb charger hub. Using a hole saw, we drilled through the headboard underneath the platform on either side so LED light strips can be routed through and assembled underneath to give it an ambient glow. Awesome video!

I want to do this now but I personally would lower the support a little bit just to get the mattress to sink in maybe 1 - 2 inches. What do you think?

[ThePtgman]

Great work; you build with "overkill." That will become a family heirloom!

[heartanddagger]

Amazing that you took the time to show us and even give the entire plan..thank you.🙌
