Instructions
1. Cut the Plywood
Cut the plywood to the desired size for the bed frame. The bed frame should be slightly larger than the mattress.
2. Build the Frame
Use the 2x4 lumber to build the frame for the bed. The frame should be sturdy enough to support the weight of the mattress and the gas struts.
