Great slide out and great craftsmanship. I would have placed a piano hinge at the wall end only screwed to the fixed pieces of lumber. That would allow me to open the top to access storage space below. Also, I would have pre drilled the holes in the lumber to avoid cracking.

My sincere thanks! I just built the couch bed you described using mostly 2x3 lumber. The chamfering and use of washers in the build was simply genius. I built if for my 16x10 shed that I turned into a bunk house. I decided to make a queen size version that will work very well for sleeping.

@mjremy2605 2 жыл бұрын

Best explanation I have seen for a slat bed, simply superb! Thank you. Equalize height of slats to any existing fixed bed portion. Groove in the sliding section frame to move more freely on wood rail. Washer to create clearance on moving slats but not fixed slats. Flip all slats with smooth edge facing mattress so no snags. Round out sharp edges of slats. Chamfer the edges of the moving slat close to wall so they glide on top of the fixed rail support. Small gap between every slat so they move freely and mattress has good air flow (no mold). Cut legs of moving side a sliver shorter so they move easily. Bed must pass Black Cat Inspection Team! A most delightful video! Loved the Black Cat who looks like my beloved cat Lucifer who passed away a few years ago. And I really liked your detailed explanation. It is the small details that hamper each project. Subscribed. Now I have to figure out how to make the top slats hinge upwards so I can inspect my water tank below, without removing the bed entirely.

G Day Stan thanks for taking the time to comment I’m glad my video has helped you out I have some aging relatives who live near Gold Coast I have so many happy memories from my time spent there i recently heard it’s no longer aloud to sleep in a camper on the streets can you tell me if this is true as I’m really hoping to gat back to QlD and get a camper project underway soon as I can afford to? I’ve asked my uncle there but he hasn’t got a clue lol would be great to stay in touch with someone there that knows the crack so if you’re interested in staying in touch I’d really appreciate it my email is melpettipher@msn.com Look forward to hearing back from you 👍🍻👍

THIS IS THE BEST CONCEPTION THAT I HAVE SEEN SO FAR AMONG THE MANY WAYS THEY MADE A BED LIKE THIS ON KZfaq. THIS IS VERY USEFUL NOT ONLY FOR CAMPER VANS BUT FOR ANY SITUATION THAT'S ASKING FOR AN ADJUSTABLE BED LIKE THIS. THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR UNIQUE KNOWLEDGE.
