Easiest hanging daybed

Submitted by Mrs. Baker on Mon, 04/23/2012 - 20:02

This was the first woodworking project I have undertaken from this site and it is simply wonderful!
very easy to follow plans, and easy assembly.
I have this daybed hanging from my back deck across from my hot tub and it is the most wonderful creation I've ever attempted!
I included a twin sized bunk-bed mattress instead of a traditional twin so that it would be thinner.
I zipped a vinyl cover over the mattress and then added sheets, decorative pillows, a throw blanket, and some lanterns to the platform.
I plan to hang a canopy that will drape over the ends.
The backdrop in the picture is comprised of two cloth shower curtains that hang from eyelets along the edge of our deck.

I have so far left my bed unfinished, but as soon as I pick a stain for my deck, I will add the same one to my daybed.
