This was my first ever build, I had a blast! I have always wanted to work with wood but never knew where to start. We have 7 children and we have gone threw so many beds and wasted so much money over the years on cheap beds. I wanted to build something that was sturdy and something that would last. Thanks to Ana White I found these plans. My husband showed me how to use the tools and I got to work. We're a military family so we move every 1 to 3 years, so I had to make some adjustments so it could be taken apart and moved over and over again. Thank you Ana White for these plans and so much more. You have been such an inspiration, if it wasn't for you and your site I would've never have found the motivation and courage to start building.

military family too, looking for your changes made
Hi there, I'm interested to know what changes you made to the plan. We're military too and I can't see using just pocket screws to attach the side rails. Would you mind sharing with me?

Use "Bed Brackets"
Use one of these to attach the side rails to the head and foot boards:
