Your mattress may be of a different size, and you will need to modify the plans to fit your mattress. Many people have done this successfully - please take a second to read comments. General Instructions: Work on a clean level surface. Check for square after each step. Predrill and countersink your screw holes. Measure and cut all your boards. Use straight lumber. Wear eye and ear protection. Always use glue. Step 1 Page 4 of 18

5 [15] Headboard Panel. Fasten the center panel boards, shown in green and blue above, to the bottom trim piece, as shown above. I recommend using the 1 1/4 nails and glue, and fastening from the back into the back side of the bottom trim piece. Measure and cut the bottom trim piece to fit. Then if you are choosing to have an arch, cut out the arch and fasten the header to the center panel. If you do not want an arch, you can use a 1 2 board for the header. Step 2 Page 5 of 18

6 [16] Inside Legs. Fasten the inside leg pieces to the sides of the center panel, as shown above. Use the 2 screws and fasten to the header and the bottom trim, and the side panel piece. Step 3 Page 6 of 18

7 [17] Outside Legs. Use the 1 1/4 nails to fasten the full leg piece to the inside leg piece from step 2. Then use the 2 nails to fasten the outside leg piece to the header and bottom trim. Step 4 Page 7 of 18

8 [18] Top of the Panel and Legs. Use the 2 nails to fasten the top piece, G, to the headboard. Measure and cut to fit. Step 5 Page 8 of 18

9 [19] Top of Headboard. Cut the top piece 1 larger than then G and fasten in place using glue and 2 nails. There will be a 1/2 overhang on all sides. Step 6 Page 9 of 18

10 [20] Bottom Leg Pieces. Measure your 1 6 board to make sure it is exactly 5 1/2 wide. Then use the above diagram to create a notch for the side rails. Use the 1 1/4 nails and glue. Step 7 Page 10 of 18

11 [21] Footboard Panel. Build the footboard panel, shown above, as you built the headboard panel in step 1. Step 8 Page 11 of 18

12 [22] Inside Legs. Attach the inside legs using screws to the footboard panel as you did with the headboard panel in step 2. Step 9 Page 12 of 18

13 [23] Step 9 Instructions: Outer Legs. Fasten the outside legs in place, as you did with the headboard panel. Use 1 1/4 nails, and 2 nails where there is more than 2 of backing. Step 10 Page 13 of 18

14 [24] Top of Footboard Panel and Legs. Measure and cut the top of the panel and legs, and fasten in place using the 2 nails and glue. Step 11 Top of Footboard. As you did with the headboard, fasten the top piece to the footboard as shown above. Page 14 of 18

15 [25] Step 12 [26] Page 15 of 18

16 Side Rails and End Plate. Begin by fastening the side rails to the end plate using 2 screws. Then use the 1 1/4 screws to fasten the end plate to the footboard. Then use the 2 screws to fasten the siderails to the headboard. The siderails will fit into the opening on the headboard. Step 13 [27] Cleats. Fasten the cleats to the inside of the siderails, as shown above. Use glue and the 1 1/4 nails. Step 14 Page 16 of 18

17 [28] Slats. As directed above, lay the slats on top of the cleats. Fasten in place with screws. Source URL: Links [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] Page 17 of 18
