How to build a bed frame. In this video I show you step by step how to do a DIY bed frame. This is an easy project that doesn't take a lot of materials or special tools. This build makes a strong bed frame that should support an adult. Additional support may be required depending on weight. This is for a DIY twin size bed frame but you can use this same instruction to build a full size bed frame, queen size bed frame or even an king size bed frame. This is an easy DIY bed frame.
