There are many ways to learn how to make a platform bed. With the increasing popularity of platform beds, many people would like to buy them at a very affordable price.

However, do not accustom yourself with the notion that making your own bed is just simple and easy. It may be also complicated and it takes a big amount of time and energy especially if this is your first time. Before making your platform bed, you must prepare first the materials that you will need. 

Make sure that you allot some money for the materials and buy the ones that have quality because you wouldn’t want your bed to get broken as early as a month or two. 

Here are the list of basic materials that you will use:

• Tape measure

• Decking screw

• Power drill

• Plywood (at least ¾ inches in size)

• 2�-4 and 2�-10 pieces of wood

• Circular saw

• Wood glue

After you have bought all the materials, measure the size of bed that you want to make using the tape measure. Start with the width, then the length. Note it down. When cutting the plywood, adjust 2 or 3 inches longer than the original size. 

After you have cut them, align them together and start using the power drill and decking screw to attached them together. This is the hardest part because you might need to ask another person to assist you. When you have already made the form of your platform bed, you may already do some designs. 

One tip when making a platform bed is to take your time and do not rush it to be done immediately.  You must ensure its durability and quality. After you have built your bed, it is time for you to buy the mattress. Make sure that it also fits the bed that you made.
