A bed is one of the most common options for a child's room. These beds are small in size, measuring 39 inches wide by 80 inches long, allowing them to fit comfortably in rooms of all sizes. Although these beds can be small, they can be priced at over $ 100, so many people choose to create their own twin bed frames. Creating a trust framework structure is a fairly simple task that can be completed in a couple of hours.

Instructions
1 Assemble the outer frame of the bed. Select one of 39 inches two by four and the screw on the lower inner edge of the two sections of 80 inches two by four. Select another section of 39 inches two by four and screw in place along the upper inner edges of the two sections of 80 inches two by four.
2 Box the support slats of the structure to the frame. Place one of the 39-inch sections two-by-four on each end and screw directly on the two-by-four-leg side, as well as the top and bottom of two by four boards at the base of the frame. This will create a useful two-by-four corner support section in the frame.
3 Insert the remaining slats. Measure and place a lath along the base of the frame every twelve inches in the center of the frame. This will create a strong support structure. Screw on each batten with two screws on each end.
4 Position the legs to the frame. Flip the base over what the bottom boards are on top. Align each of 12 inches of the four-by-four leg with the corner of the frame, and the anchor bolts that allow it to attach it to the frame. Place two screws on each side to create a strong joint.
5 Flip over the frame of the bed one and continue to grant the legs. Place a 12-inch four by four on each inside corner of the frame. Place two screws in the corner of the 39-inch two-by-four attached to the frame ends to attach the leg to the two-by-four corner structure.
6 Insert the plywood plate. Carefully place the large section of plywood on the frame. This should be aligned on all edges, and slide perfectly into the outer frame, which rests on the support slats. The plywood board will evenly distribute the weight, creating a smaller number of pressure points within the frame.
Tips and warnings
- For a more sunken appearance, consider using two-by-six or two-in-twelve tables for the outer frame structure. A simple headboard can be constructed by using two four-by-two additional and small fence railing.
