There is a drain in the middle also which will need to be accessed. Presumably a cut here would suffice. A consideration will be the height of the deck as this is limited by the frame of the house, so shorter fittings will be needed. We would idea...

Bed with no slats

Posted 2 months ago

I have the headboard, footboard, and sides of a bed. I'm not entirely sure how the bed fits together either because the mechanism joining the head and footboards doesn't seem very secure (the nut is fixed so I don't know how its supposed to secure) so the way they fit together might need a new solution too (one that is reversible so the bed can be removed and reused easily in the future).
