I'm so excited to share this DIY caned daybed with you all! I'm pretty sure it's my favorite project yet! Not only was it inexpensive to make, but it will be a great crash zone for our guests. Thank you for watching and be sure to leave a comment below, let me know what you think. 💛
- Cut List -
I purchased 5 Select Pine Boards at 1x2x8
1 -1x2 @ 76 3/4" mitered on both ends
6 - 1x2 @ 34 1/2" mitered on one end
1 - 1x2 @ 17"
1 - 1x2 @ 73 3/4"
2 - 1x2 @ 24" mitered on both ends
2 - 1x2 @ 20 7/8"
I also used scrap plywood cut down to 1" strips to cover the caning on the arms. If you do not have any scrap plywood, you can sub for 1x2s, but you will need to add this to your cut list.
Plywood
4 - 24" mitered on both ends
4 - 20 1/8" mitered on both ends
I order all of my reed and caning products from
x VI Reed + Cane - basketweaving.com/
and
x Frank's Cane + Rush Supply - www.franksupply.com/
I'm leaving an amazon link here for cane webbing, amzn.to/32ATgQv but I really hope you all will support a small business by purchasing from one of the two companies listed above.

I have a different wood twin platform frame bed that I'm using as a sofa in my living room and it has been driving me crazy that it doesn't have any arms. Even though I've made a cane headboard before, this particular project seemed like such a daunting task to do. But not anymore thanks to you! I'm definitely getting on this next weekend! Thanks!

@MeganBell 3 жыл бұрын

You can do it! The Minnesund is very firm, but honestly quite impressive for how THIN it is. I thought for sure it would get a little thicker as it expanded, and when I saw it didn't I was positive it would be uncomfortable, but it really isn't. I may invest in mattress toppers for guests in the future, but as is, it's really great for the price.

Wonderful video! I have been looking at the Ikea Utakers and always found them a little lacking. This is brilliant! I do have a question. At the end of the video you have the beds side-by-side, but there is no gap. How did you manage that? When I fully expand the bed, the two wooden frames are placed against each other, causing a gap between the mattresses.

@jwmartin001 2 жыл бұрын

Awesome design. I just aw that CB2 bed and am going to build it myself too. I’m curious what thickness the plywood was that you used to cove the edge of the cane. Also, does it sit flush over the cane or did you need to rabbet out that part? Thanks!

@MeganBell 3 жыл бұрын

We use ours quite often and it has held up great. We don't lean against the caning which is fine because it is so deep that you actually cant sit and lean against the back at the same time. My son and I both lounge on it daily.

It is not stable enough to lean against. I should have disclosed this in the video. It is mostly decorative. But we have had no issues with it otherwise. We just ask people not to lean against it when they sleep on it.

When using this type caning would you say that the caning is rather delicate and need to be careful using the piece and where you put it in the house?

That is always the case with caning. It is woven and should be cared for as such.
