$100 DIY PLATFORM BED
This easy DIY was inspired by the Urban Outfitter’s version that is upwards of $600. My version, depending on size and species of wood you choose can be completed for about $100.

Here are the supplies I used to create a king size bed.
-rails and center bracing: 5 2x6 boards (or use smaller board lengths and widths for smaller beds or different preference)
-cross bracing: 5 2x3 boards
- 4 bun feet (or 4 appropriately sized legs instead of attaching bun feet to 4x4 blocks)
-(the way I did this requires T-nuts for the bun feet, but not if you use a full leg
-corner brackets
-16 1”lag screws (size to fit the opening of your bracing. These would also need to be smaller if you choose thinner rails)
- 16 1.5” lag screws for attaching to the legs
-a box of 1.5” pocket screws
-stain of your choice

This is inspiring me to get back into making my own furniture. I never brought my stain and finishing skills to a level that i found satisfactory before i switched hobbies.

Your voice is so calming! Love it that you get straight to the point. Hate watching videos women rambling for 10mins and 20 minutes rambling while making pockets holes🙄... anyway, great video.

Do you have a video on how you did your nightstand?

I love it!! And I love your soothing voice. ❤️ I want to make this bed for my husband and I, but I’m worried that since the mattress is just laying on top of the wood and not inside a frame would it move?

This turned out so beautifully! I have been looking at that Urban Outfitters bed frame for a long time but never could get myself to pay that price for it... I think I will try my hand with this DIY instead! Thank you ☺️

@bbranch123 2 жыл бұрын

Did you ever try it? I love that Urban bed frame, but for $700 it has some bad reviews of it falling apart. I really want to try this DIY too. How did it go for you?

@brittanys12345 2 жыл бұрын

@@bbranch123 I almost got the stuff to make it, but I ended up buying a bedroom set secondhand that came with a wonderful bed and felt there was no reason to make a new one. The tutorial looks fairly do-able and materials wouldn’t be too expensive so I say you should go for it

@charleighann7366 4 жыл бұрын

This is stunning. I may have missed this info while watching. How high are the 4x4 blocks & what size corner braces did you use?Thank you so much.

@thesimplefarmhouse 4 жыл бұрын

Thank you! You'll want to make the corner blocks just a bit longer than the width of the rails, so if you are using 2x6 rails, add a 1/2" - 3/4" in length on the 4x4 block. If you use thinner rails, match that width and add a 1/2' - 3/4" from there (If they are thinner, 3/4" longer blocks may look too long, so that's totally up to you and the reason I give a range). I used the metal brackets with three holes in them. They were the biggest ones available that still fit on the face of the 4x4.

Can you also please share what type of mattress you use since I don't think there's a Box Spring on the bed

I'm not familiar with t nuts, there's not a lot of information in the description. Are peanuts screws If so what size should I buy? Also what is the tool you are using to screw the rackets in I didn't see that listed either. Can someone please let me know as soon as possible I am going to go to Menards to pick up some supplies today

@barbra429 3 жыл бұрын

I am sorry I'm not understanding the brackets in the screws it going to them that you are using can you give specifics or links please.

@thesimplefarmhouse 3 жыл бұрын

I used small corner (L) brackets and lag screws to give additional sturdiness to the structure. There are other ways to attach pieces, but I went a little overboard to be safe. :) Ask your local hardware store employee to locate those items if you aren't sure where they are.

Hello Barbra - I took a break this year to focus on some family things, but getting back into the swing of things gradually. I just saw your comments on the other videos - If you are referring to attaching bun feet, I purchased a tee nut to secure mine into the 4x4 leg portion. You can always ask for clarification at the hardware store if your bun feet need something in addition to that. Hope that helps!
