Before you start scouring the web in search of assembly drawings, you need to think and decide on the design of the product. And the main thing is that you can do everything yourself.

Manufacturing technology

Assembly involves a couple of steps:

1. A frame for the folding mechanism is being made.
2. The place where you will sleep in the future is being assembled.

You can find the standard sizes of single and double models on the Internet, but if you have a bed with other sizes, then you will have to calculate all the necessary dimensions yourself. This is where the Furniture Designer program can help you.

Assembly steps:

1. Using anchor bolts, fix the slats to the wall. It is necessary to further strengthen the bed frame with metal corners.
2. For the base of the frame you will need two boards, approximately two meters in length, which must be secured together with a transverse board using glue and self-tapping screws.
3. Next, we fasten the casing, also using glue and self-tapping screws.
4. Important. Do not forget that the depth of the box must correspond to the thickness of the bed.
5. We install a folding bed. To do this, take plywood of the required size.
6. Strengthen it from below with 4 boards along and across the future product. This is necessary to avoid sagging and damage to the plywood.
7. If necessary, add sides to the product, but only so that they do not interfere with the future when assembling the bed.
8. Using quality fasteners, attach the frame to the wall.
9. After this, secure the folding part of the bed with hinges to the frame.

Decorating a finished bed

After the product is ready, it can be supplemented with small elements, such as shelves, mirrors, cabinets. This will give your bed more functionality.

The modern design allows the product to be painted with acrylic paints. This type is most suitable for children's rooms. With your child's help, you can decorate it with flowers and various patterns.

You can make them yourself or draw them using stencils. This will give your product a unique design.

In addition, to create a single line with the cabinet, the front side can be decorated with overhead fittings, false crossbars and imitation handles.

You can make additional niches, which should be decorated with mirrors, and also install additional lighting there.

Thus, a model you make yourself will look like the finished product, and in some cases even better. The main thing is to achieve this, you need to show imagination, patience, and make every effort to create this miracle. It will delight you and your household with its originality and ease of use.
