What materials are suitable for these woodworking projects?
Use thick planks or tubes from scaffolding for most of these construction plans. Unlike many other of our woodworking projects, planks from pallets are not strong enough. The wood should preferable not be thinner than 22mm. Conglomerate can be used for the headboard and footend, but solid wood is a better choice. Plywood is a good and strong material, specially for a childs bed with a theme, like the John Deere tractor above.

Easy construction plans and assembly instructions for homemade beds and bedroom furniture. Most of these constructions are made with tubes from scaffolding to make a frame, in combination with scaffold boards. It is very easy to make these bed frames, but do not think that these beds are cheap. You will need a lot of Kee Klamps, and those tube connections are not cheap at all. On the other hand it is a good investment.
Here we show you how to make a strong frame for beds. The materials are scaffolding tubes and the connections are metal joinery clamps from the same scaffolds.
Should I use steel or alumium as material for the bed frame?
Metal frame for single beds.
You could choose aluminium rods and connectors, these come in several colours.
The aluminium scaffold tubes are more smooth, this material is cleaner than the galvanised version. Galvanised steel tubing is however cheaper and more widely available.
