Easy Bed Frame Building Plans
Keeping the mattress you sleep on off of the floor is important to your health. A mattress set directly on the floor makes the person using it more prone to dust, mites, drafts, cold temperature from the floor and other problems. Instead of buying a bed frame, you can build a simple structure out of 2-by-4-inch boards and plywood. This frame can be knocked down when you need to move. Does this Spark an idea?

Place one of the 36-inch boards at either end of the 72-inch boards. Set the narrow sides of the short boards vertical to the ground. Make the ends of the boards flush with the ends of the long boards, forming a rectangle.
