I made this today. By being so specific I was able to pause as I went. Great video and I'm thrilled with the results.
That is Great! I am happy that you were able to get a bed made for yourself. If you would like to share a picture of your build on my Land To House facebook page that would be awesome.
I just builded the 2 toddler beds with his video tutorial, and they looks great, i made it that i can take it apart
Happy to hear that! I appreciate the feedback
In your opinion, would 12” nipples still work - raising the bed for my 6’6” husband to sit on a little easier or would it be too “wobbly”?
With the 9 legs its going to be just fine to lift it higher.
Nice build and you did it all without a 20k woodwork shop!
I just build this bed for me and my fiance and it's the best bed I ever had build
My husband and I built this and upholstered the headboard and outside of frame.This is the most solid support we’ve ever slept on and we are so happy with it! Thank you so so much for this video! I watched this a few weeks back and was so inspired. Blessed to be sleeping well again and waking up to great posture! P.S. your dogs rule! 💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐
That is a great review! Thank you. I imagine the headboard looks great with upholstering. Nice to hear you have good sleep. .... Those dogs are a mess haha.
I just bulled this bed for me and my fiance and it is the best bed I've ever had bullied before
I am happy to know it works well for you!
Hey man! I just finished my bed like 2 minutes ago. My wife loves it! You were very clear on the instructions! Thank you for the video man! You’re a life saver! Specially since we’re in a budget right now! Cheers bro!
Thank you for sharing. The frame is super strong and rather inexpensive for what you get. Should last a lifetime.
@@LandtoHouse what if I wanted to build it in 2 sections? And then lash the 2 sections together at final assembly. Each section being roughly 38 by 80...
Thanks for this tutorial! I made this today and it is so much better than the cheaply made metal frame we used to have. The instructions were really easy to follow too, thanks again!
Wow! I just made this! Replaced my store bought metal wobbly one! You’re a life saver! This frame is so easy to build and SO sturdy! Feels like it will last a lifetime, maybe longer! Thanks so much!
I've used these plans to build 5 beds so far. I've modified them for headboards, but the base is still the same. Super solid, affordable, and my kids can't break them! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for this detailed video...
I was able to build my king size...bed...all by myself .
Instructions were on point and very easy to follow.
Thank you so much.you did a great job.👍
Just completed this project today. Thank you for the step by step directions
You're very welcome. Hope to frame gives you years of use.
Thank you for posting. Just ordered materials, awesome job. Now you know we're all waiting for the twin bed video. Keep up good work.
Nice! The frame is easy to make. I bet I could make one for my daughter. She is still a while from needing that though.
Thanks for the great video. I made my bed frame following your video. It came out great and is very sturdy. I ordered the metal parts from Amazon and ended up going with 3 legs on each side and 4 down the middle for extra support
Best design and instruction out there! We aren't very handy but we made this no problems! Thanks!
Thank you so much we just finished building our bed and it's fantastic!!!!!
Great! Happy that you like the frame.
Super specific and detailed video. Thanks for your work man.
So simple and easy! I love the puppies.
+zaida mirto thank you. ....Yes those spoiled puppies.
I made this bed last year but failed to thank you! Thanks for the effective, affordable design!
I am happy it has worked well for you! Thank you.
those dogs are freaking adorable
+denno021 Haha they are. Always getting into trouble.
I would lose my mind if I had dogs up in my business while I was trying to work. I give him a lot of credit for his patience with them.
They can get annoying at times. Haha
Dude your the only video I have seen to where you actually explain how and what to do like measurements etc... awesome work!! And your puppy dog lol... I love um he’s so nosey lol...
Thank you. I'm actually halfway done with a queen size frame that has all wooden legs. I try to make videos that I would want to watch and I appreciate when people give the measurements and the cuts.
That dog... haha
Land to House 👍 keep up the great work.
Agreed. Well explained and going at my DIY speed. Thanks.
Thank you for your awesome video! Me and my husband are almost finished 😍 and it looks great! We spent $180 at home depot but got a few extra 1x6s and 1x8s for a skirt and lip. We also used 4x4s for the legs instead of the piping since that was easier for us to find. Used some old carpet to fasten under the 4x4s to prevent the legs from scratching up our hardwood flooring. Hoping to finish staining it tomorrow!
Thank you for watching! My wife and I have this king size frame in out house and we love it. Are your 4x4's treated or untreated? I have heard that it is not a good idea to keep treated lumber inside because it will off gas. Sandwiching 2 2x4's together is a better option.... The carpet idea is a good one.
Thank you for this video. I built one almost like it. Only thing different was the legs. I used the left over wood from the cuts that were made. Just finished it. I also had the box spring for it. But for future this can be used for a mattress only, if I decide to get a new mattress. Great video. Thank you.
Thanks a lot Seth! I made one like this and it looks awesome! My wife loves it! I applied red oak stain which makes it more beautiful! Thanks again for this video and the one for the headboard, your videos are so easy to follow
Great! Yes those red tones are very nice. I made a queen size version and it is a brown color. Happy you liked the video!
Thank you for this video! I have all my supplies and am going to build it tommorow!!!
Great! Thank you for watching. I hope your build goes well! My wife and I have thoroughly enjoyed this frame for over a year now.
Your videos are so throughout and easy to follow thank you so much🙏 I am a beginner and after watching your videos many times I did make my king bed with head board follow your guidelines 90% instead of using the steel legs, I used 2x4 so thanks again so so much🙏🙏🙏🙏I am trying to send you a photo of my bed, but I can’t. I will do so on your Facebook 🙏
Very easy and economical project, thks for sharing,
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I have watched the one for Queen size mattress and it was very helpful as well. I'm debating between keeping my king size mattress or downsizing to queen😔. Thanks for all the great tips.
My wife and I have the king size frame. My parents have the Queen. Both are great. Thank you for watching.
First time ever building anything like that great instructions thank you
Nice! This frame should last a lifetime.
Nice, easy and cheap, thanks for teaching us.
Thank you for watching. I hope it helps in your own build.
Your instructions i must say are the clearest and easily able to understand! Building mines now lol
Love the dogs too lol
Thank you! Check the channel last week for a set of floating side tables too!
I love your dogs! Their so cute!! :) good job on the bed !
+Perla Paredes those little dogs are so spoiled. :) thank you.
What a simple bed to make!
Thanks
Thank you for watching. The frame is strong and will last a long time.
Thank you sir I followed your instructions and the frame and backboard that I made came out beautiful
Very nice! This is a solid frame that should last a long time!
Great video I now have one in my home in Hawaii. Very easy and made my life easy in the hardware store.
Great! I hope you enjoy the frame.
Thanks much made this at the weekend and the missis is super happy 👍
That's great! The frame is easy to build and super strong. .
Excellent video! You made it look so so simple.
Thank you.
thank you for doing this video!!! awesome build and helped me out a lot.
Nice! Happy the video helped!
Awesome frame and video, can't wait to build mine.
Thank you. My wife and I use this king frame and it is great.
Best explained video I’ve seen!!!
Thank you. We still use this frame and there are no issues at all
Thank you so much I'm definitely going to tell my friend about this so you can help me out his real good would I work at Home Depot so it should be an easy task 👌🏿
I am happy to help. This frame is easy to build.
Great vid!! And adorable pups😊
+iBlameAnonymous thank you. Those little puppies are spoiled rotten.
You are good teacher we did our king size platform
You soooo rawk. We calculated of of the Queen and only number we needed to change was the slacks!! I'm excited to create this!!💪👍
Haha that's great! Once you have the frame done please share your results!
Great tutorial👍🏼 now i need the tools, the materials and a space where to build it
You have the cutest dogs. 🙂 I'm looking forward to putting this together ❤
My little helpers. Happy building.
Just did this set up great
Nice! Thanks for the feedback.
🤩🤩🤩 omg your little helpers are such a distraction I wouldn't be able to stay on task
Haha yes they love to "help".
Greetings! I built this with my hubs today and we didn't even argue one time during construction! 😅 Thank you so much for this easy to follow instructional video. It was so very helpful. We love our new bed!
Haha no argument is a great success! I hope the frame lasts you for years. Thank you for the feedback.
Yes it was a success!
I didn’t even argue one time with my spouse either. However, we did argue seventeen times, so there’s that...
@@BeFaithful00 😅😅😅
Amazing i want to build it 2 king size beds in this design. Good job
Great video! I think I can do this.
Thank you so much
Hi Seth, great how to video , I’m looking to build my own king size bed frame, and thank you for your video great Job, looks good and sturdy!
Thank you for watching! This frame has been great over the past couple years.
awesome frame. best one.
+Fidel Arellano thank you. I am using it right now. Ha ha
Great video. I just made this frame with a couple modifications. I used 2x2s along the side rails and cut the slats at 73.25"s. I wanted more of a zero edge for side skirts. Also picked up a 6ft piece of 1/2" pipe insulation with adhesive. 9 8" pieces of that to wrap the pipe nipples to protect the toes just incase;). Thanks for the inspiration mate
Also stained it with matching golden oak and used black metal brackets to attach it to an existing headboard. Came out great. Youd never know it was hand made
Along with other viewers, I concur that this homemade structure has a heap of potential! I would probably paint the metal hardware in advance, and instead of rounding the edges, you could use moulding to create better edges and finish to the frame. Then, of course, some stain or paint, or even chalk or milk paint could give this a nice finish that appears store bought. Plus, creating a wall design behind the head of the bed could offer a headboard without having to attach it to the frame. So many ideas!!!! Anyhow, I am soooooo glad I stumbled upon this video - AWESOME idea!!! Thank you so very much for adding the additional measurements for varied size mattresses as well. Fantastic!!! I am going to subscribe to your channel :)
Thank you for watching! Very good pointers. My frame is a good starting point for others to build on.
I'm definitely no expert, but I do watch a lot of these woodsmith and woodworking shows and it seems like that jointing or dovetailing wood makes a great joint of wood and very strong. You did do a fantastic job on that bed and I'm sure that it'll give you many years of use, and congratulations on the new home!
I have started watching a few youtube channels for woodworking as well! In the near future I will be building my workshop and that should open up a wood working potential that is not here now. Our home is great. We are happy to have a place of our own.
great video mate, i wish people make more videos like your life will be great triple thumbs up
Thank you for watching. I like to make it simple ...because that is the way I think.
Awesome build. Great video. Love your little helpers. LOL
Thank you! Those dogs are something else.
Thank you for this incredible idea! My Cocker Spaniel recently hurt his back jumping off the tall bed I had. Well I got rid of that entire bedroom set right away! He healed up, re-injured a bit and now is almost 100% again. He sleeps on the bed though, so I've been searching for a very low bed that he won't be in danger getting on and off. All the beds I've found on Wayfair, Ikea or anywhere that are low enough, are super expensive!! But if I use your frame, with 2" legs instead of the 8" then the bed will be super low but still off the floor! Perfect! It'll have that Asian inspired low look that I want, mixed with an urban feel and safe for my Sam. Thanks so much, this will really change our lives!
Happy to help! A few people have built this frame right on the floor with no metal legs. I rather like the legs though. Using 2 inch legs would be awesome for a nice low frame.
great idea thanks!
Thanks for watching!
Awesome...great job.
Thank you! I love this frame.
Great work man, love the simplicity and thoroughness in describing the process. Any chance of you posting where you got the legs from?
AWW some real helpful carpenters you got there-i see they made sure your measurements was correct
Oh yes those little dogs are always around "helping"
Great video...thanks for sharing.
Thank you for watching.
Very nice bed. I need to build something like this to replace the old thing I have.
I know that you can build a lighter version of this bed but I would rather have this one. It is very strong and looks good to. :)
I like your instructions. I will use it to make my CAL King frame. If you use a one inch slat. It will be a matrix for the spaces. 😁 Wish me luck 🙏
I love those little doggies. Theya re so cute :)
Ha they are so much fun. . . until they get so dirty we dont recognize them anymore.
I know exactly what you're talking about mate. I've got two cats myself who love playing in dirty places :) By the way, a great build :)
Thank you. It has been a great frame.
Thank you😊
Thank you for watching! This frame has done well.
Predrill with countersink is allways a good ideea
Yes it sure is. Keeps the wood from cracking and messing up a build.
This bed is very very strong total cost 67 euro I used 4x4 wood for legs
The video was easy to follow and such a simple design but looks really good
Thanks again👍
Using wood for the legs can save lots of money! Does change the look but most people use a long quilt that hides the legs anyway.
Awwww. Love the little furry helpers lol
This is a superb wood working book I`ve ever read, *TopFineWoodworking. Com* . Both novice and some skilled woodworker can gain a lot of general info using this reading material. I`ve been very amazed how frequently I use this to look up woods at places like to restore and salvage spots.?
I made my King bed, it came out awesome. I did add cushioned black velvet and crystals along the sides and front of the 2x6" boards, thanks for the video 👍🏽
I forget the technical term for those pads. I have had several people install those to make the bed look even more finished. I am happy the bed has turned out well for you!
Land to House foam 😳👌👍🏽
HA that works. There was a lady who commented with the technical term of installing foam under fabric but I cant find it. . . . My channel gets 500+ comments a month.
Tufting...tufted...?
I really do not remember. It had something to do with quilting.
Holly crap u did a dammmm good job I'm making one too just like that thanx
Thank you. This frame has been great! Thanks for watching and I hope the build goes well!
Very good
+fayyaz nazar thank you.
I watched to learn something. But I stayed for the dogs.
brilliant
+Jamesy TheReDevil thank you. It has been working well!
The puppies I love them:-):-):-):-)
Those puppies are something else. So hyper.
Hi Seth! Thank you for this video. It is very clear and helpful.
Question, is it possible to use different feet-maybe angled feet-on the outer corners. Simply for the “look” purpose. Thank you
Great idea. Like all the best ideas, this is simple and effective. I will build my bed soon, lumbers are already in the garage 😉😁🎄🎄
Merry Christmas
Thank you. My wife and I have the king version and we are very pleased. I hope your build goes well!
Great video bro. I refunded 400 dollar bed frame from Wilcon Depot because of its weak middle frame. It just lasted for 6 nights.
Now i am thinking of making the same build. Great! It looks so sturdy. You earned another subscriber. :)
Some bed frames you can buy are just garbage. That is why I made my own. This bed frame is very sturdy.
I love the video! you make it look so easy. what are the measurements if I have the a cal king mattress?
Great build. I'll be using this in our new house next month. Also love the Dragon Ball ringtone lol
+RadioFreeman you got the ringtone! Haha my favorite show. The bed is great! Let me know how the build goes.
I can't explain how easy it was to make this bed. I followed all his steps and it took me and my 54 year old mother 8 hours from buying materials to the last screw. I had no issue understanding any of the request but it does take ALL 15 boards for the slats. It looks phenomenal! I did change the legs to 1/2" x 12" instead of the 8" because I wanted more room under my bed and it's still a super great bed. This bed isn't going anywhere! So I love with this
Also going online was a TOTAL LIFE SAVER for the metal needed for the project. Walmart had them and it was enough to get free shipping
I am happy to hear that you enjoyed the build. Buying those metal parts online is the way to go. You can almost save half the bed cost that way.
Land to House yeah I was astonished when I looked in store because I though surely that wasn't true. But to my surprise they were just as expensive as you said. But the pre-drilling was really the way to go it made assembly a breeze. Thank you so much. I have a beautiful bed that we will have for years!
Nice Design to build a shedThumbs up from me
Make a jig buddy for the 2” spacing on the slats
really liked the video! Even though I've never built anything, I feel confident enough in following this video, so I will be attempting to build this myself after I procure all the materials. I want to build a bookshelf headboard for this bed as well, any ideas on measurements and/or a video for that?
This build is a fun and easy one. As for the bookcase headboard I am not sure. As you can see my builds are rather simple.
helping their daddy .. cute..:).
I would love to know how to make a modular version of this
Great video and very easy to build and super sturdy bed. Thanks for posting! Love it!
Tank you
Thank you for watching!
Hey Seth buy a router and a 1/4 to 1/2 inch round over to make a round edge on the top and bottom...Looks good...Have a great day...
+Mike Brown I actually purchased a router a few months ago but have not had time to try it out yet. I do want to start making things look prettier.
Neat Video!
Thank you. This is the frame that my wife and I use. I like the smaller legs because they are a little less expensive.
Would this be as sturdy with 12" pipes?
sound like i heard a dbz ringtone..lol great video!!
Oh yes that was definitely Dragon Ball.
built this yesterday looks great i made a couple changes for mine though. cost me under 150 CAD
Nice. I hope it gives you years of use!
Thank you for sharing. I am looking to build a king size bed and this will definitely help
One tip for you - when you get the black pipe and and flanges, they have a oil on them to protect against rust. Clean them off with a degreaser and coat with something like wd40 dry lube that will give them lasting protection.
Happy the video helps. Good advice on the oil protectant. So far after a couple years this frame is working flawlessly.
@@LandtoHouse It's not so much the corrosion, since it is inside, but the oil/grease that is on the pipes can stain clothes or bedding that come in contact with it.
Great job. Did you just put the mattress on the frame or box spring and mattress?
This video is great and the wife and I are going to build this with the headboard. I was wondering why 2x4 for the slats? Could 1x4 be used?
¡Gracias!
Thank you. That's very kind.
Hiya! Love how simple this looks to build. Could this be made without the side/foot boards; meaning that the mattress would just slide over the entire platform instead of having to fit “inside” the frame? I would be adding more slats and closer together.
My partner doesn’t want to add any more overall height to the bed with a box spring under the mattress, and I don’t want to hassle with trying to lift the mattress out of the frame every time changing sheets without a box spring. Hope this makes sense. Thank you! 😉
Spacer blocks from scrap would speed up spacing your cross boards
Yes indeed! That would speed the slats up very much.
