King Sized Farmhouse Bed

Re: Excellent Job!

Hey Tracey,

I asked a lot of people about that as well, and never got a real good explanation. I am still using our metal bed frame for now, but am in the process of working this out. Let me know if you come up with any good plans. Thank you for the complement.

RE: Hey Tracy

Thanks for replying to the message... I'm still concerned about it. We tend to toss and turn a bit and like I mentioned before, we're big people. I'll look at the plans one more time. Did you follow her plans for the king sized bed? Do you use a boxspring? I'm just still trying to conceptualize this before we build it and I guess I"m a bit dense.. LOL. Thanks again for the post, it does give me encouragement to go ahead and build the bed of our dreams!

Re: Happy Anniversary...

Thank you Ana! You are an inspiration.

Thanks Stephanie...

Thanks for the compliment. I too was/am confused about the king box spring. I currently have my bed, inside the bed frame, sitting on the original metal bed frame you get with beds. I have my side rails attached to the posts via heavy duty metal brackets. I was going to attach 2x4 runners, going from side to side, by way of small joist brackets attached to the inside of the side rails. I decided that was a bit overkill, but haven't thought to much more about it. As it is though, if you use the original metal bed frame, it will sit inside the bed frame, and you wont really notice the legs of it sitting inside the side rails unless you are looking for them. That is how mine is if you want an idea of how it looks height wise that way.
