How to build a podium for bed

The podium bed is an alternative to the old color-book sofas and bulky massive "two-bedrooms". In a large spacious room, she will create an unusual designer effect. In a small one-room apartment will help rationally use space. You can create a podium for bed with your own hands. For this, it is not necessary to have a joiner's theory or extensive practice.

To begin with, think about where the future bed is better. It should not block the opening of doors and cabinets, overlap access to the rest of the furniture items. Considering the size of the spring mattress, schedule the width of the podium. For example, 2mx3m and with a height of 40cm.

Next, make a list and purchase material. On the above, the specified option is necessary: \u200b\u200bboards 30x50x3000 mm (2 pcs.), Bar 50x50 mm, 40 cm (10 pcs.), Boards 30x50x2000 mm (7 pcs.), DSP stove (thickness at least 15 mm), LED tape (3 m), plywood for the walls. Materials are indicated without stock. Better buy more.

From consumables and fasteners Prepare the following things: acrylic or oil paint, wood putty, steel furniture corners, self-tapping screws (20, 40, 50 mm), small sandpaper.

Of course, any construction or repair activities will not do without using the tool. Well, prepare it and its: electrolovka, screwdriver, hacksaw, screwdriver, cizyanka, chisel, drill with perforator, carpentry chisel (30 mm), drill (6 mm on wood, 8 mm on concrete), level, square, roulette, pencil , spatula, brush, roller.
If you don't have everything you need, it is not necessary to pay huge money in an expensive store of construction systems. There are a couple of others, more budget options: borrow from a neighbor, rent a day.

There are many ways to build a podium bed. Below the proposed view is simple and affordable even beginners. We build a lower frame from BRUSIEV in the size of a future bed, (you can use the ready-made drawings from the Internet). It is necessary to leave a distance of 1 cm between the wall and bars (lags). On the lags are secure vertical racks. On them - the upper frame, identical to the bottom. Thus, you will have the ready frame of the podium.

So that the place is occupied with the benefit, you can create shelves. To install an open niche, it is necessary to measure the height from the floor to the ceiling of the podium. Next, cut out the electrolovka pieces of plywood and screw them with self-draws to the frame racks. Also, using corners, fasten the rear partitions. At the next stage, I mount the bottom of the niche.

Lighting is needed on such shelves. In partitions between niches, cut out small holes and stretch the LED tape. Give it better in a secure, secluded place.

It's time to make flooring. Since the standard chipboard has a size of 2.8 per 2.07 m, and this is not enough, you will have to add residues or a piece of the new plate. We measure and cut the part with the electric bison in such a way that their edges accurately condensed with the extreme sides of the lags. Serve in the plate and details of the hole frame. Self-tapping screws very deeply, hiding a hat in wood.

To verify the strength of the design, ask several adults to walk or stand up on it. If nothing creaks and does not collapse, go to the next stage.

First of all, it is necessary to shake joints and connections. After - to clean the fine-grained emery paper and remove all the dust. Painted first the corners and edges (tassel), then straight surfaces (roller). The process of painting is better to repeat a couple of times. The same procedure is done with the inner sides of the niche.

Scroll on the finished podium mattress and approach the edges of pine lumps. So your bed will be fixed. Now sleeping corner is completely ready!

Make a podium for a bed in your favorite style: High-tech, modern or Eastern Boura. After all, he will not only be a better place to rest, but also an excellent addition to the home environment.
