Necessary materials

Need preparing material for a sleeping bed, it is worth considering the load created by the shock absorbers on the mattress, strips of mechanical devices, and fixing frame space.

During installation of the furniture of the subject material will need:

• lift;
• MDF and particleboard;
• slats of wood;

• bars;
• upholstery fabric;
• foam;
• mattress;

• Construction marker;
• three-meter tape measure;
• jigsaws;
• drill;
• screws;
• welding machine;
• bolgarka metallic disc;
• level;
• stapler;
• hair dryer building.

After gathering all the tools and materials that will be needed during the carcass, starting the construction of the procedure.

The manufacturing process: step instruction

To make a universal mechanism for lifting the bed with your hands, you need to prepare detailed drawings of the future model. To avoid assumptions fatal errors when installing the bed, you can focus on the finished schematic drawing of the frame assembly.

Get information on how to make a bed with a hoist with his own hands, you can explore the prepared drawings.

First constructed durable, sturdy base conceived bed. To make a foundation bed, you need to prepare:

1. bottom, side of the bed, side-bar and the head of MDF or particle board - all elements of appropriate size;
   

   Materials for the base of the bed

2. a frame formed of wood blocks;
3. bridges mattress, created from strips and planks.

After the end of the preparatory work for the installation of prefabricated elements fitted bed bases.

1. On the frame, created from the bars, attached by means of screws to the bottom of the forthcoming recess.
   

   The basis of the frame - a box of grooved boards

   

   Fixing rails to the plywood bottom

2. After the performed steps are mounted on the frame side-bar and sides.
   

   The legs are mounted inside the frame

3. To attach the head structure prepared using the screwdriver and screws.
   

   From the head of the veneer workpiece is sawed and fitted by foam and kozhzamom as lateral sides

4. After the end of the basics of the build process, the lift bed is established. It is sold ready to use, so the lifting structure is mounted on the nut.

Immediately fixed to the base frame of the lower bar of steel, then the top element is fixed to the side parts.

To create a reliable berth installed steel base made of a metal profile, sawn grinder to the details, relevant dimensions and interconnected into an integral structure by welding, which is an important work stage. After completion of the welding, it is fixed to the base frame of the timber.

The final stage - decoration

After completion of the fabrication bed, the product is sheathed by means of foam, upholstery and furniture stapler. Due to skin hide elements of the frame and the frame, it turns soft, comfortable and aesthetically decorated model.

How is the process of plating the finished model?

step 4

Sidewall model decorated upholstery. The contact points between the decorative fabric and lift under the upholstery is enclosed seal.

step 5

Are fixed to the legs of the finished model, if they are provided a schematic representation.

Having studied in detail the instructions on how you can make a bed with a hoist with his own hands, even the novice master will make their own complex subject bedroom suite. Make a bed with a hoist with his own hands, based on previously prepared drawings simple. Independent work sleeper couch significant savings and gives the opportunity to create a unique multi-functional bed.
