Profile bed frame

This project will serve as a good guide for those who want to do bed frame made of aluminum pipes and modular fittings.

The author did not provide step-by-step photos, but detailed instructions, how to make a bed do it yourself you can read on the site.

The main motivation for the implementation of this project was the creation of a modern queen-size four-poster bed made of aluminum pipe and galvanized metal fittings. This bed has been used for 7 years. Very durable construction and looks pretty stylish.

Although this project is fairly easy to assemble, the components are industrial in nature. Make sure in your bedroom enough free space for assembled frame. You will also need a truck or large van to transport longer pipes.

The only tool you really need is standard hex key (7.94 mm). That is, it is assumed that all pipes will be cut in length already in the store. Note: This project is not what most people would call cheap. Aluminum pipes are expensive, but still cheaper than the designer version.

Here is another example beds made of aluminum pipes. The original idea was to use aluminum pipes to create a frame large enough for king size, but use cross over fittings so that you can easily adjust and disassemble the structure at any time. The head legs should be longer than the tail, and the base a few centimeters longer and wider than the bed.

How it was implemented and what material was needed for the project, you can read on the website. Well, the result you see in the photo.

How to make a frame from an old metal bed

if you have headboard and footboard from an old metal bed do not rush to throw them away or take them for scrap. You can do-it-yourself frameand you will have an almost new bed. Find 2 × 6 boards to match the dimensions of the mattress box that you will install inside the frame. Then cut the bars 2 × 4 and 2 × 2 into sections, slightly less than the length of the side boards, given metal headboard brackets and running boards. Both 2 × 2 bars and metal brackets will be located inside. Then glue and screw the 2 × 2 bars to the bottom. This will be the protrusion on which the mattress box is held. Drill in the headboard and footboard extra hole at the bottom of the bracket for stability. Then screw the 2 × 6 boards using bolts, washers and nuts. For the top, in addition to bolts, washers and nuts, cut 2 - 2 × 4 metal plates in half and install on the inside of the bed at the top of the bracket to stabilize the larger hole. This is all that you see outside the bed.
Tip. Wiping rusty metal with a damp cloth is like trying to clean sugar with honey. Just take a dry brush and brush off as much dust as possible, being careful not to remove the patina. Then apply matte polyurethane.
