Design

Decide on the size of the bed frame that you want to do. Choose a mattress that suits you in characteristics.

Mattress - an expensive purchase, but it depends on it the quality of sleep and rest. A bad mattress can cause problems with blood circulation and back. Treat carefully choosing!

Try to choose mattresses. For a good night's sleep is recommended to purchase mattresses length 15-17 cm more than the height of a man. When the choice is made, measure the parameters and on the basis of yardsticks, make a schematic featureseWell next berth.

Be sure to make allowances, so that the mattress got into the frame, and not leg him like cover.

! Dimensions of mattress + 1.2 cm on the side = frame size bed.

We will make a framework for a standard mattress, 2000 at 1300 mm.

It is also important to determine the height of the legs - try to imagine what level you would like to wake up. The bed should not be too low, but not high, although in modern interior welcomes non-standard forms of furniture. Leave enough space for built-in cabinets under the bed, if you plan to store things there.

Think in advance, kakoth the sizebut and formss will headboard.

The choice of materials

On the shelves of wood is of varying quality. Try to buy the most smooth planks without knots - a large number of knocks timber take a lot of time on polishing. To bed is not "flew into a lot of money", it is necessary to select materials based on their role in the production of carcass for a bed.

Take the highest quality wood, which can be expensive, but it is reliable and easy to process for the frame and the decor. For the legs fit average in price and quality woodAnd for rails (they are needed in the manufacture of lattice that holds the mattress) - the easiest option. We will use pine boards, as the hi-tech and durable material.

Some builders use DSP to replace the rail, because particleboard can tempt their price. But the bed using such material does not serve you as long as the bed of real wood.

So, in a shop with the help of roulette choose:

dimensions	amount	appointment
2040 * 250 * 20 mm	2	side walls
1300 * 250 * 20 mm	3	end sides
2000*40*20	5	bearing longitudinal, support for medium-sized carrier
1300*40*20	30	production of rails
·screws ·materials coating (protection against insects - mordant, lacquer)

Required tools

For the manufacture of the frame with your hands requires a specific set of tools. List impressive, but the acquisition will serve you for years to come and will help create other jobs in addition to the bed:

• plane;
• electric saw;
• hacksaw;
• jigsaws;
• drill;
• Cordless

+ 8 bits and 10;

• cutter, sandpaper;
• pencil marks, metal ruler, laser level.

Preparatory work

This is where you will need the drawing. Measure the required parameters, mark pencil line cut. Use a ruler and a cutter to make the cut. When the workpiece to be fully fit your scheme, proceed to treatment.

Remove all hitch using sandpaper. It is better to have several types of nazhdachki: coarse grain, medium and small. Start alignment surface nazhdachki large, then proceed to the shallow.

The end of the board and head of purified electroplane - it helps to make a completely flat surface and adjust the line.

Assembly and installation of the bed frame

Stand back from the edges of the end walls approximately 110 mm in order to ensure correct positioning of the mattress (when calculating the depth of planting mattress approximately 50 mm) - horizontal line.

Make a mark on one and the other sides of the end boards - pull back third of the distance on each side - the vertical lines.

the point of intersection of two lines - space for mounting the support beams.

On the side walls frame, measure 70 mm from the top board. Using laser level draw a line parallel to them.

Marked on the boards will be placed along each of the sides. Back down to 20 mm from the ends and secure them.

! To preserve the aesthetic appeal of a bed frame, use screws that do not exceed the thickness of board sizes.

The primer is needed in order to maximize the figure was smooth and well fitting to the head.

Twist them from the inside.

Take the future head of the bed and attach the end face using the rails (3 pcs).

! Check all joints and corners for looseness before permanently attaching the structure.

Remove dust from the frame members.

! Use a dry cloth. Wet the fabric can ruin the polishing. Irregularities in the rails may damage the fabric of the mattress.

The end of the board and head of purified electroplane - it helps to make a completely flat surface and adjust the line.

Use the stain and cover with frame elements. Next you need to apply two coats of varnish. We suggested to use a varnish based on polyurethane, since it is less toxic and more abrasion resistant. Clear lacquer based on polyurethane is self-leveling that facilitates application. Wait until dry.

Fasten all of your bed frame wall.

Place the bearing bars are medium in size on the supporting bars (which we have attached to the end boards).

!For fastening elements need to use screws.

The main frame for the bed is assembled. Now you need to put the rack. Independently select segments of the separators so that the mattress is easy to keep. Connect the rails to the longitudinal beams.

Next, put the bed legs. In the inner side of the frame corners fasten the boards measuring 40 * 40 mm. If desired, make a pair of support legs in the middle, to be sure of the reliability of the assembled bed. Consider the amount of space under the bed and the presence or absence of cabinets, boxes that can be stored there. Sune it affects the feet. Sometimes fixing feet and did not need to, if you willYuie the height of the chassis and interior.

decoration

The easiest way to bring the bed in an attractive appearance, we have indicated in the algorithm work on the carcass - wood stain and varnish-preservingYuie beam color, making it more vivid. Lac you can choose matteth - less visibles budatt dust and scratches. Gloss lacquer adds shine wood, but provides all the missteps of the builder - bumps, cuts, scratches. You can not dwell on the usual color of the wood, paint the bed in any of the colors that complements any interior.

Another option is the bed upholstery. To do this, you need to stock up on cloth, foam rubber, staple gun and staples. You can create a relief pattern on the upholstery or using curly nails.

Headboard - a large open space for creativity. It is possible to make it a shaped, with upholstery, paint unusual way, for example in decoupage technique. This variant decoration easy to apply at home. Eszee decoupage one advantage - it does not cost much, but it looks good design solution.

Requiress:

• primer;
• glue;
• varnish;
• white acrylic paint, acrylic paint to add color;
• napkins.

The primer is needed in order to maximize the figure was smooth and well fitting to the head. Primer buy stationery in specialized stores, but the scale of our crafts – this is an expensive option. We undertake construction primer.

Decoupage is conducted on white surfaces, so use white acrylic paint, which are acquired in the hardware store. If you want a different color, mix colors white and pleasing colors.

There are special napkins for decoupage, which can be purchased at an art supplies shop.However, conventional napkins are also suitable.

To carry out work on the headboard can be directly on the frame of the future bed or separate from it, if the design allows for attachment and removal of this element. The fastening screws to help you again.

So, you're done! If during operation the design flaws are found, it is always possible to correct, because you know how to assemble a bed - find popping element is not difficult.
