If you want to make an inexpensive bed-house, then you can make furniture in the form of a tent. If you choose this option, then you will need to make walls and a roof in the form of a frame, for which a canopy will be needed. On the canopy day any light tissue can be used.

You can make a canopy with your own hands to save a budget. And also it can be sewn to your order, if you do not have free time to make a canopy yourself.

The walls and roofs of the beds in the form of a house, usually made of plywood or ordinary boards. From plywood you can make any detail for the future bed. If you decide to make from plywood, then experts recommend purchasing birch plywood, the thickness of which is 0.7 or 1.3 cm.

• screwdriver;
• drill;
• a simple pencil;
• ruler;
• square;
• sandpaper;

How to make measurements and drawings

It is worth approaching the manufacture of a bed-house with all responsibility. It is necessary to carefully think through everything and prepare the correct scheme and correctly measure future furniture.

In the drawing, it is required, in accordance with the measurements made, to correctly enter the number of parts and elements of which the bed-house will consist. You must also write down the dimensions of each part, as well as the mounting method.

Please note that the size of the frame is similar to the size of the mattress. Therefore, before you make furniture, you must first purchase a mattress for the bed.

The size of the bed is directly related to the age of your child for whom the furniture is made. If the bed is made for a child of preschool age, then the size of the bed - house should be 1300 * 750 * 1400 mm. For school children, the size of the bed is 1600 * 900 * 1700 mm.

Important points before assembling a house bed

Before starting to assemble the bed, parents need to decide in advance whether there will be drawers in the bed or whether it will be without them. Some parents prefer the space under the bed to be free, while others prefer to make the furniture as functional and roomy as possible. Therefore, such parents give their preference to a cot with built-in drawers.

Before you assemble furniture, you need to decide on the choice of drawers built into future furniture. Boxes can be of two types: on casters or on rails. It is recommended to make drawers on rails, as this is a better option, the floor will not deteriorate and the structure will be more durable. Also, you should decide on how many drawers will be installed at the bottom of the bed-house.

Also, parents should make a choice on a particular design of furniture for the child. You will first need to decide on the choice of shape for the place to sleep. If you have a small child, it is recommended to make low single beds. If you have more than one child, it is best to make two floors in the houses with a staircase.

Worth remembering! Such furniture should be absolutely safe for your child. In order to make the bed more stable, it is necessary to make a berth without legs, so that it is on the floor. Having made such a choice, you can be sure that such furniture can withstand any weight. The advantage is that the child will not fall from a low crib.

Home bed: step by step

Before proceeding with the manufacture of a bed-house, you must first make the basis for future furniture.

Crib base

First you need to make a base. This requires four bars, the length of which should be 1300 mm. This design will serve as a vertical support for the bed. After you have fixed and secured the block, it is necessary to cut a small part at the top of each bar at an angle of 45 degrees. This procedure is needed for the future roof with slopes.

Before cutting a piece from the bars, it is necessary to mark with a pencil, using an ordinary ruler, a part of the cut. It is necessary to file using hacksaws.

Roof for home

In order to make the roof of the house, you will need four bars, the length of which should be 730 mm. After the bars are fixed, you need to saw a piece of the bar on top of each block at an angle of 45 degrees. Do not forget to go with sandpaper in the places where you made the sawn timber so that your child does not get hurt about them.

The support is made of scraps of bars. Everything should be attached to the ridge of the roof. It is necessary to take glue and attach the upper part of the ridge to the entire blank of future furniture.

Vertical joints and supports will need to be glued. Moreover, this procedure must be repeated several times. After all, the upper part of the house must be put on self-tapping screws, the length of which should be 40 mm. Screws should be screwed at least 4 mm from the line of the two components of the roof.

After doing these actions, we will see the final outline of the entire structure.

Frame mount

In order to complete the work with the end of the house, you need to screw a bar to the bottom of the structure. The length of which will be 830 mm. This beam will serve as a baluster. Which will hold the entire mass of the house.

It is recommended to use a screed to assemble the side components, since the connection will be almost imperceptible and will look more elegant and beautiful.

For such an inconspicuous installation, it is necessary to drill holes in the lower part of the furniture (in a bar) using 11 mm drills. The drilled hole should be in the middle on the crossbar. Remember that the hole should be through.

Then, you will need to drill a hole in the middle of the bar using a 6 mm drill. It is necessary to place a screw in the resulting hole, and then fix it all with a screed.

You can also use not short screws, but long ones. But it is necessary to pre-treat them with a sticky substance.

Assembly of the base of the house

In order to make the base of the house, it is necessary to use thick bars. Such bars should be identical in size to the sides of the bed. From the inside, it is necessary to fasten the thin strips to the boards using self-tapping screws.

It must be remembered that the screws should be placed at the same distance. Such plates are a support for the manufactured frame of the house, which supports the very bottom of the furniture.

It is necessary to make templates in advance, the length of which should be 6 centimeters. It is necessary to make several holes in a wooden block for self-tapping screws. The distance between each hole made must be at least 25 mm.

On the inside of the stand, mark the hole for the eccentric. Such a hole is made with a drill, and then it is necessary to screw self-tapping screws 10 cm long into it.

Pay great attention to the joints. After all the procedures, it is necessary to fill in the sticky liquid in the holes in the lower tier and tighten with bolts.

Reference! This procedure must be done with all the components of the structure, and then connect all the parts into a single whole.

Fastening the frame for the future crib

It is necessary to attach all the components of the furniture well. For this you need four bars. The length of each of them should be 1660 mm.

Remember that the length of the beams is equal to the length of the sides of the berth. All components are attached using glue and screws. Reinforce the entire structure using angle-shaped fasteners.

Furniture rack

Reiki need to be fixed on the slats. On the sides of the slats fasten to the four sides of the entire component of the crib. It is necessary to tighten all the parts well so that the screws do not protrude. For the bottom of the universal mattress will need to use 14 rails.

Such made furniture for your child on your own is not only good safety, but also the realization of all your dreams for the child into reality.
