How to Make a Wooden Bed


Do you like to leave the mattress on the floor, without any structure? Does your bed have a fragile metal frame? Have you ever thought about making a wooden frame? It can really add a nice touch to the room and it will eliminate that annoying metal squeaking sound, but be aware that it doesn't come cheap. This article shows you in a simple way how to build a wooden frame that can be modified to any size or height you want.

Method 1 Standard queen size bed

1
Buy all the necessary materials. See the list in the "Materials Needed" section for more details. The goal is to build a frame that fits a queen size mattress (1.5 m wide x 2 m long). Also, you will have to go to the building supply store to buy three basic things:

  • Fittings for the bed rails.
  • Wood.
  • Screws for wood.

2
Assemble the supports for the bed rail. This part is essential for making a firm connection between all the cross members of the frame. Attach the metal brackets to the end of the side beams that join the bed feet and check that all connections are secure. [1]

  • Sometimes these brackets can be difficult to find in hardware stores. Not being able to find it there, take a look on the internet.
  • Bed rail mounts are usually sold in a four-piece package.
  • In place of the pegs, you can use eight large wood screws, which make the bed very secure. These screws are easier to find than rail fittings. [two]

3
Connect the support rails. Screw the rails into each side rail and remember to space the screws about 12 inches apart for maximum weight support.

4
Make the support blocks. Cut a groove in the block and support beam. The groove should have a centered groove of 4 cm x 9 cm, with the largest measurement following the widest part of the block.

5
Attach the support blocks. Attach each support block to the center of the headboard and frame feet with screws as shown in the picture.

6
Connect the sleepers. Connect them to the foot of the bed using the metal supports on the sleepers.

7
Add support pallets. Place them between the two support blocks.

8
Place the plywood surface onto the mattress. Put the plywood over the support rails and the slats, but detail: it needs to fit inside the bed frame. Once this is done, the mattress can be placed.

9
Make final adjustments with the mattress to finish. The adjustments made, the bed is ready! Enjoy!




Method 2 Platform bed

1
Gather materials and tools. You will need a circular saw, some basic L-shaped supports, wood screws, some MDF or plywood, and some pieces of lumber. In the case of wood, you will need:
  • Two pieces of 2 mx 5 cm x 10 cm.
  • Five pieces of 1.5 mx 5 cm x 10 cm.
  • Eight pieces of 50 cm x 5 cm x 10 cm.
  • Two pieces of 2 mx 5 cm x 30 cm.
  • Four pieces of 1.5 mx 5 cm x 30 cm.

2
Make the base frame. Using standard joints, take the screws and secure the 2 mx 5 cm x 30 cm board and two 1.5 mx 5 cm x 30 cm boards to create a 1.5 mx 2 m box.

3
Fit the base inserts. Put in the remaining 1.5 mx 5 cm x 30 cm boards, divide the box space into three and use the screws to secure the fittings. Then set the complete base aside.

4
Create the platform frame. Again using standard joints, take the screws and secure two 2 mx 5 cm x 10 cm and two 1.5 mx 5 cm x 10 cm boards in a 2 mx 2 m box. [3]

5
Add platform fittings. Place the remaining 1.5 mx 5 cm x 10 cm planks, divide the space in the box into four sections and use the screws to secure the fittings. [4]

6
Add platform supports. At this point, you will add the 50 cm x 5 cm x 10 cm boards between the fittings, placing two in each section. Keep them evenly spaced, but misalign them so that the sections to the left and right of the center have the brackets at the same level. Fasten these boards with screws too.

7
Strengthen corners and joints. You need to reinforce the inner corners of the base and platform with "L" brackets, you can add them around some of the other inner joints to strengthen the joints.

8
Add the plywood surface. Outline and cut the plywood so that it fits against the deck surface. It will probably take two pieces to cover the platform. Secure the plywood to the internal grooves with the screws so that the screws themselves do not pop out as the platform will be exposed.

9
Paint the bed frame. Sand the wood and then paint or dye the bed any color you like.

10
Make final adjustments. Arrange the platform on top of the base in the final position. You can secure the platform to the base with some strategically placed "L" brackets, but this is optional. Just place the double or queen size mattress on top of the platform and the bed is ready!




Method 3 Multifunctional bed

1
Get the materials. You will need two 5cm x 10cm square shelves, several centimeters of Velcro, a hacksaw, wood screws, 24 basic L-shaped angles (with mounting screws) and wood containing the following cut sizes:
  • Four pieces of 95 cm x 5 cm x 25 cm.
  • Six pieces of 70 cm x 5 cm x 25 cm.
  • Four pieces of 40 cm x 2.5 cm x 25 cm.

2
Create the support boxes. You will use the wood to build two shelves that will balance the weight of the bed with the shelves that will serve as a headboard. The boxes will be made by connecting two 95 cm x 5 cm x 25 cm sections to two 70 cm x 5 cm x 25 cm sections in a 95 cm x 80 cm box. Secure the boards using screws – three at each connection – placing an "L" bracket in the center of the joint at each corner. [5]

3
Place the center support. Another 70 cm x 5 cm x 25 cm piece of wood is centered and connected in the same way to create two sections in each box. Secure the center bracket with an "L" angle bracket on each side, both top and bottom.

4
Add shelves (optional). When you want to have shelves at the head of the bed, you can easily add them using 40 cm x 2.5 cm x 25 cm pieces of wood. Adjust the shelf to the desired height and secure the bottom with the "L" angles – two on each side.

5
Put a lining at the back of the headboard. Draw the shelf markings on a plywood and cut the lining with a jigsaw. Nail it with a hammer or pneumatic nail.

6
Add the feet to the headboard supports. You will likely want to place feet on the headboard brackets to keep them from scratching the floor or the headboard from moving. You can easily find these felt feet in many home supply stores.

7
Paint all shelves to match. With the shelves made, paint them the same color, giving preference to laminated spray paint specific for wood.

8
Place the plywood on the headboard. Cut a 95 cm x 2 m piece of plywood. With the two support shelves facing outward and the headboard shelves in between, nail the plywood bottom and top corners of the headboard with two nails.

You can glue a non-slip mat, like the ones that are under the mats (optional).

9
Adjust shelves if necessary. Adjust them so they are flush with the sides of the headboard.
Image titled Build a Wooden Bed Frame Step 29
10
Put the finishing touches. Shelf spaces are for various things, like adding baskets, drawers or just normal doors. They are available in many colors. Ready! Enjoy the new bed!
This bed should only be used by children as it does not support much weight.


Tips
  • Modify the placement of the wood in the corners and to create a wonderful four-post bed! A large diameter and turned feet are all you would need to change to make the bed look amazing.
  • Sand the rough edges to make the bed frame more pleasant.
  • Drill pilot holes before screwing in any parts.
  • Paint the wood in a color you like to make it look more pleasant.
  • You can apply glue to the joints and finish with nails. Thus, the joints will be stronger. Remove excess glue and lightly sand before varnishing the wood. [6]


Necessary materials
  • Eight sets of support fittings.
  • Four pieces of wood 10 cm x 10 cm x 50 cm to make the four support legs of the bed.
  • Two pieces of wood measuring 5 cm x 15 cm x 1.5 m to make the headboard and foot of the bed.
  • Six 5 cm x 10 cm x 20 cm pieces of wood for the support blocks.
  • Two pieces of wood 5 cm x 15 cm x 2 m to make the side rails.
  • Two pieces of wood 5 cm x 15 cm x 2 m to make the support rail.
  • Three pieces of wood 5 cm x 15 cm x 2 m to make the pallets.
  • Two 1 mx 1.5 mx 2 cm plywood linings.
  • A box of 5 cm wood screws.
  • A box of 3 cm wood screws if they do not come with the bed rail fittings.
  • Handsaw.
  • Drilling machine.
  • Sandpaper.
  • Ink (optional).

Learn how to build a super practical pallet bed


Pallets are the great allies of do-it-yourself projects: they can be disassembled, sanded, painted and varnished and become coffee tables, coffee tables, benches and even beds!

These two tutorials teach you how to make a bed and a headboard out of pallets to leave the house with a rustic and creative atmosphere. Get inspired by the gallery of examples to create new models — after the first successful DIY, you never stop!

The most common model, short, is incredibly simple. All you'll need for a double-size bed is:

  • 4 pallets in European standard (120 cm x 80 cm), made of quality heat treated wood
  • Mountain range
  • sandpaper
  • nails
  • adhesive felt
  • 160 cm mattress

- Cut two of the pallets first, dividing them into two 80-centimeter pieces so that they form a square. The other two pallets will be left unbroken.

- Sand them carefully, eliminating any chips.

- Glue felt adhesives to the base of the pallets – it serves to minimize friction between the wood and the floor. Arrange them in the desired area, so that the uncut pallets are at the top of the bed and the 80 centimeters are at the foot of the bed.

- In the photos, two more pallets cut in 80 centimeters were used to make the headboard, nailed close to the bed.





Pallet headboard, by DIY Network

You already have the bed. It's time to make the headboard! This template can be used to complement an existing bed design or to frame a pallet structure you made yourself. You will need:

  • 2 or 3 quality pallets (always check the quality of your pallet as well as the strength of the wood – species like oak are more resistant, better for this type of project)
  • 2 leg boards
  • construction sticker                                    
  • nails
  • 80 and 220 grit sandpaper (if you have a sander, better!)
  • brushes
  • Sealant
  • Drilling machine
  • Mountain range

How to make:

- Cut the pallets from the back (with the planks facing up and the opening down), separating the planks from the frame and sawing through the nails. Separate about eight boards of varying widths — the differences make the final product more rustic and unique.

- Plan the height of the planks: it is the sum of the height of the bed and mattress plus 80 centimeters, which is the amount of wood that will be exposed and will serve as a headboard.

Take the separate leg boards and cut them to size. Make an intermediate support of 80 centimeters as well.

- Plan the layout by mixing boards from different pallets. Position the legs (vertically) on a surface intended for mounting the project so that the space between the outside sides is approximately six centimeters less than planned for the headboard's full width. Place a cut board to support them.

Apply construction adhesive on top of the three support boards: this is where you will glue the first horizontal board.

- Your headboard starts to take shape! Then fasten it securely with two nails at each vertical intersection.

- Continue gluing and nailing the boards alternately. They will always be the same length, but they can be different colors and widths – that's the fun!

Measure the height to ensure the headboard extends a little farther down from the top of the mattress.

- Use the 80 grit sandpaper in the roughest spaces and then the 220 grit sandpaper to even out the entire surface, including corners and edges.

- Apply a light coat of sealant. When it dries, apply another layer with the brush, this time thicker, to fill in any cracks. The transparent film will accentuate the colors and textures of the wood!

That's it: now you have a homemade headboard. Just attach it to the bed with carriage bolts or hang it on the wall with a cleat.

How to Build a Platform Bed


A platform bed is a type of bed that does not use a box or a metal frame. Instead, it consists of a wooden platform and a mattress, sometimes with sides, headboard or drawers. Platform beds have been around for centuries, while Box beds are newer, being somewhere between 150 years old. Platform beds can be simple or decorated. First-time woodworkers usually find this a very simple project.

Steps


1
Measure your mattress. Your platform should be 2-3 cm wider and longer than your mattress. So when you place the mattress on the finished platform bed, there will be approximately 1 cm of platform on each side.


2
Subtract 30 cm from the length and width of your mattress to get measurements for the base of your platform. The base should be smaller than the platform to prevent you from hitting your toe on the base when lying down.


3
Gather your materials. In addition to the wood for the platform bed, you'll need a variety of tools and accessories, including painting and sealing accessories.


4
Build the platform base using a 38X184 or 38X235 wood board. Take things like floor heaters, outlets, and the height of your mattress into account when deciding your platform height.


5
Cut the woods to the correct size for the base and arrange them into a rectangle. Measure and cut 2 or 3 cross pieces, depending on base size, to fit inside the rectangle. Space the cross pieces at regular intervals.


6
Attach the base using wood screws. Drill guide holes for screws in each wood and apply carpenter's glue to the cut edges to help seal the joints. Use a square to make sure all wood is at 90° angles.


7
Place small pieces of wood in the spaces between the cross pieces and screw them into place to help stabilize the base. Fit the pieces correctly.


8
Allow time for the glue to dry. Cover the screw heads with wood putty, then paint or stain the outside of the base.


9
Mount the platform in the same way as the base, remembering that the length and width of the platform will be 30 cm longer than the base.


10
Place the platform on the base, center carefully, and screw it where the platform boards meet the base boards. Use long deck screws, remembering to drill guide holes to keep the wood from cracking.


11
Attach an MDF board to the top of the platform. Carefully apply carpenter's glue to the edges of the wood board and screw the MDF to the deck, taking care that the screws do not pinch the MDF.


12
Attach edge tape to the MDF board to hide unfinished edges.


13
Allow time for the glue to dry, cover the screw heads with wood putty, then stain or paint the platform.


14
Finished.


Tips
  • Buy a mattress that is 6 inches taller than the tallest person who will sleep on it. As people change positions during sleep, they can often be on the verge of falling off a mattress that is too small.
  • Ask for quality finished wood for your platform bed. Soft wood (pine) is easier to work with and can be varnished or even painted after being properly conditioned. Hard wood is more attractive, but harder to cut and drill. If you're sure of your measurements, consider having your MDF board cut out at the store or locksmith.


Notices
  • Never assume you know your mattress measurements. Even among standard sizes, there are some variations; if you build your deck the wrong size, it will be difficult to make a change, if not impossible.
  • Build your platform bed in the room where it will be used. Depending on the size and design, you may find that a platform bed built in the garage won't fit through the doors when you try to bring it into the bedroom.
  • Don't buy your wood the same day you plan to build your deck. Instead, buy them two weeks in advance and keep them. Do not stack the boards, but support them against a wall, placing small pieces of wood between the planks, letting the air circulate.

How to use the garbage bag correctly?

By separating the garbage for proper disposal, we are concerned with sending the garbage to the place where it really has to go. If we are careful to separate materials according to their raw material, this makes the work of recycling companies easier.

After cleaning the waste, it's time to choose the appropriate garbage bag for each type of material, especially if you are working in hospitals or restaurants, or even in your home, after all few residents know about conscientious disposal .

For each type of product we throw away every day, there is a type of plastic that can be used, see some examples:

1-Biodegradable waste
Within this category, you can include the following types of products:

  • Vegetable peels;
  • Fruits;
  • Roots;
  • Vegetables;
  • Dry leaves.
 

As they are of vegetable origin, the most suitable is to store this product in bags that are also biodegradable, which are intended for products that must be taken to compost.

For this purpose, there are three types of plastics, including green, PLA, and starch plastic. Biodegradable waste can accumulate flies, and spread diseases, so this material must be disposed of in the right way, so as not to harm your health and the people around you.

 2-Non-hazardous recyclables
In this category we can add wooden sticks, cardboard, plastic bottles, glass bottles, aluminum cans, etc., which must be packed in a recycled garbage bag.

To avoid contamination, avoid the biodegradable bag, plastic has a long shelf life, but if disposed of incorrectly it can affect our food chain.

To pack sharp materials, such as broken cups, for example, the ideal is to pack with resistant material, such as cardboard, and leave it marked, warning that the material is sharp.

3-Hazardous waste
These are materials that can be highly harmful to our health and the environment. There is a certain treatment and disposal, as these types of products can be flammable, corrosive, or reactive.

We can include the following products in this category:

  • Paint remains;
  • Hospital material;
  • Chemicals;
  • Fluorescent lamps;
  • Batteries.

 We must never allow the disposal of this type of product in landfills, dumps or tap water, and even in the soil, its chemical substances can end up causing irreversible damage to nature and to human beings.

Why should we never use the inappropriate bag?
Man accumulates a lot of garbage around the world every day, and many people are not aware that there are suitable bags for each type of material, as mentioned above.

Not being careful with the planet, not being careful with ourselves and our health, it is possible to research countless cases of people who are infected due to the incorrect disposal of garbage.

Turtles are the biggest victims of human irresponsibility, only the Tamar Project in Bahia has rescued several turtles that end up eating plastic that is thrown by people who go to the beaches every day.

Plastic is a very necessary material for our daily lives, but its incorrect use can harm many innocent lives, so we have to use it according to its purpose, that is, for each material a type of plastic bag.

Garbage bag and condominiums
In condominiums, if there is no awareness of all residents, there may be a public health problem. First of all, it is necessary to know that it is not enough just to have resistance, to carry out the selective collection, the bag must be the right color.

See below, what are the most common colors for garbage bags, and how to apply them in your condominium:

  • Blue bag: is commonly used for dry garbage;
  • Black bag: generally suitable for organic waste;
  • White bag: recommended for hospitals, or environments that use biological or infectious waste.

 It is essential that the manager pass this guidance on to the residents, as this facilitates the work of garbage collectors at the time of collection.

What types of bags are there?
In markets and distributors we can find two models of bags, check out below which they are:

1-Line Flex
It refers to lighter garbage, such as office supplies, bathrooms, etc., which do not need as much resistance to be taken away.

2-Premium Line
It is used to carry heavier materials , and condominiums and large companies often use this type of bag.

The trash bag is perfect to maintain the hygiene of the environment, and the safety of everyone who frequents the place. However, we cannot forget that the materials are made from different raw materials, and for each one there is a bag model that must be used.

Conduct awareness campaigns

For those who live in condominiums, or work in companies, the fundamental thing to do is to promote disposal campaigns to reduce the impact on the environment.

Create incentive campaigns, and show residents or employees how important the garbage bag is, and why we have to use it correctly to keep the environment clean.

Give awards to employees or residents who engage in the campaign, and start using the garbage bag more often, and promote selective collection.

It all starts with the correct use of the bag, if we don't know what colors to use, how to use it, and where to put the garbage, the environment will never remain clean, it will always be full of flies, and it can still transmit diseases.

Show cases of real situations, so that people can reflect on their attitudes, especially if you are a manager or company supervisor, you can use this technique to convince your team.

Planet Earth belongs to all of us, and it is our duty to keep it clean so that other generations can enjoy the same way we are using it.

Conclusion
Using the garbage bag properly is not complicated, but we have to learn what colors and where to discard each type of material, respect the environment and never throw garbage in the street or on the sidewalk.

This is the most efficient way to sweep the floor, according to Science


If you don't like to do housework or if you don't have time for it, believe me, this story can greatly optimize your time. That's because there is a much more efficient way to sweep the floor and that few people have knowledge about, at least that's what scientists guarantee.

The big secret of cleaning, as you'll see, is strategizing. That's right, it's not enough just to pick up the broom and sweep the floor in a disorderly way.

To save effort and time, you first need to realize the environment that needs cleaning and intelligently divide it up. The place where you start sweeping the floor also counts a lot, especially when it comes to picking up the garbage, you know?


And, if you think cleaning ends there, you are mistaken (and cleaning your house very poorly). As you will see, there is no point in sweeping the floor without completing the job in order to ensure that even the smallest piles of dust disappear.

But, of course, no one needs to spend a lot of time on this kind of task. Below, in the list, is the step-by-step straight of how you should do to have a more efficient and faster cleaning.

This is the way you should sweep the floor:

1. A good broom

It all starts with choosing a good broom for the job.

It's no use picking up the one in the corner of the pantry, with its old, tangled bristles. Brooms like this only add to the effort and spread the dust even more across the floor.

2. Draw a strategy

It seems silly to say that, but having a strategy when sweeping the floor is important. This keeps you from working more.

So, choose a starting point and keep the same direction until you leave the room. Never start in the middle, as your effort to clean the whole place will be much greater.

Another good tip is never neglect the corners, so that dirt does not accumulate.

3. Divide quadrants

The best way to keep the pace of work, in fact, is to divide the room into quadrants.

From there, just start sweeping each quadrant of the corner, always bringing the dust into the middle of each section, using short, steady movements.

4. Don't be discouraged

No sweeping up all at once, taking the trash to the exit! You must finish each room by collecting the litter pile with a shovel.

And, to collect the rest of the garbage that is under the shovel, it can be easily cleaned with the help of a paper towel, ok?

5. Don't leave anything behind

As soon as you pick up the trash, make sure no dust is left behind by wiping the room with a damp cloth.

6. Ready

Once that's done, just make sure no one steps on the floor until it dries and that's it. You've just done a nice cleaning on your floor, which will stay clean for a lot longer.

And so, have you ever done something like this “technique”? Do you think it can really be valid when it comes to saving your time and making the service more efficient? Be sure to comment!

How to get your pet's smell and fur out of your home


Animals are unanimous when it comes to companionship and cuteness, especially when it comes to dogs and cats. But having a pet , in addition to the benefits that everyone knows, can be a lot of work. The daily contact calls for some special care so that everyday problems do not appear. Quite common in everyday life, two of them are: the bad smell and the amount of hair that pets leave around the house.

Pet care at home

Here are some simple tips to remove the smell and hair left by your pet at home.

Take care of your dog and cat's hygiene
To keep your house organized, the first step is to keep your pets clean. Contrary to popular belief, the smells that animals leave around the house come from themselves, which is why it is so important to regularly bathe your dog and cat.

Combing them frequently is a benefit for us and for them, as the hairs don't stick and fall out as much. In addition, the hygiene of other parts of the body, such as the mouth and ears, are essential for your pet's health.

sweep, vacuum and circulate
There are 3 verbs that every pet owner should know. This trio simultaneously helps with both problems, as sweeping the floor causes the hair to spread less and, consequently, the smell. The most suitable brooms are rubber ones, as they create static electricity that makes the hairs to be extracted more easily.

Vacuuming furniture, rugs, carpets, among other things, helps to reduce dust and also to reach the hair that collects in the corners. Opening the windows is a simple movement that initiates a flow of air in the environment, alleviating the odor of animals (which are even more intense in winter).

Use the right products
There are numerous products on the market that combat the two problems mentioned in the post, but only a few of them are really effective. To ensure the quality of the merchandise, it is recommended to test it before distributing it throughout the house. Also check for proper use of it: whether it is for the floor, rug, or other purposes.

Many people tend to use homemade mixtures that, combined with everyday substances, do the same job as traditional products found in commerce. The tip is, for both the products and the solutions, to use them with care and moderation, as no one wants a house that is clean and, at the same time, stained.

at washing time
Curtains, pillows, rugs and other household items smell like your pet even if you don't want to. Their contact with these objects leaves a characteristic odor, which can also be felt in your pet's bed and blankets. It is important to keep these items always clean, as in addition to reducing the smell, it also prevents the accumulation of dust, bacteria and hair, which are concentrated in your animal's resting place.

Training
Your life can be simpler if your partner knows what he can and cannot do. That's why it's important that you teach your pet some ways, especially with regard to the place of needs and where he should or shouldn't be.

Getting your pet used, for example, to sleeping in the same place and not climbing on furniture, prevents its fur from spreading around the house. Instructing him to always go back to the same place to pee prevents the odor from taking hold throughout the house. If this is not possible, there are products on the market, such as Pipi Dog  or hygienic mats , which encourage animals to take care of their needs in the chosen place and help you to keep the environment cleaner and more fragrant.
