Thislooks awesome! Have you thought about some kind of guard for the carpet tack? I know they used foam here at the makerspace. Maybe you could have some holes for magnets, hinges or maybe clamps that could secure a guard over the tacks? What about some guiding holes at the corners and a large square frame with dolls that slides in to cover the tack edges?

As featured in Apartment Therapy, Curbed, Inhabitat, Tiny House Swoon, Tiny House Blog, and on HGTV! This build was also featured in a Zillow.com national ad campaign, as well as in another for Hipcamp!


These are Framing Plans for a Derek "Deek" Diedricksen designed cabin that is meant to be both INCREDIBLY SIMPLE to build, and affordable- something we felt was lacking with many cabin and tiny house models and plans these days.


These are the schematics, measurements, and diagrams that you need- they're no more complex than need be and MANY of these have now been successfully built. These are auto-sent immediately upon payment to your email account as a pdf file that can be printed. They (like almost ALL other build plans) are not step by step (those rarely exist). EVERYTHING you need to know (measurements, etc) is in these plans though and this cabin has been successfully built by well over 100 people now.


These are not "hypothetical" plans- this cabin has been built with these plans numerous times over. There are a few youtube videos kicking around that show the plans a little more, AND showcase some of the cabins that have been built.


The are for single person use (not for reproduction). The plans are 100% original and copywritten by Derek "Deek" Diedricksen. This cabin concept and 1st build was created by Diedricksen. and rendered into sketches by Stiles based off of Diedricksen's drawings. The eventual/later updated version was done in conjunction with architect Sean David Burke.


Now with two kids? I knew it would take a great deal of luck to get the whole family in a photo with eyes open and happy, exactly when the timer goes off on the camera. And I am definitely not lucky in that way.


So I built 20 wood frames for about $30 - mats included. In fairness, I did not add glass which would have added to the cost, depending on the size. I will probably cut my own out of acrylic glass after I finish making a few bigger frames too.


Please read through the entire plan and all comments before beginning this project. It is also advisable to review the Getting Started Section. Take all necessary precautions to build safely and smartly. Work on a clean level surface, free of imperfections or debris. Always use straight boards. Check for square after each step. Always predrill holes before attaching with screws. Use glue with finish nails for a stronger hold. Wipe excess glue off bare wood for stained projects, as dried glue will not take stain. Be safe, have fun, and ask for help if you need it. Good luck!


This is perfect! Just yesterday I was trying to figure out how I was going to afford framing some pictures to give one of my adult children for Christmas without breaking the bank. This will work wonderfully! And I have a bunch of pallets in my stack that are made with 1"x2" pine that I can re-use. Handmade Christmas presents for FREE! That's a gift my budget can live with!!!!


What if I wanted the frame to be cut at 45? I know it would be long pnt to long pnt but where would I mark it and then cut the 45? I always come up to short. Lets say i want to put a frame around a 10"x10" square board. Would I make a mark on my 1x2 @10" and cut at 45 on that mark?? This really has me fristrated and I just want to give up :(


Thanks for stopping by to check out the DIY Bed Frame Tutorial! In this article you will learn how to make bed frame for a fraction of what you'd pay at a furniture store. This bed frame is made out of everyday construction grade lumber available at Home Depot or your local lumber yard. The natural color of the cedar really pops with the Minwax Clear Semi-Gloss Polyurethane I used to protect the wood and give it a beautiful finish. The plans are for a Queen size bed but you can easily modify the width to fit different sized mattresses.




This project is sponsored by Minwax and I was compensated to create this project. I only promote products I truly believe in and would recommend to my friends and family. Minwax is one of those products. I've been using their stains and sealers for years. They have all sorts of stain and sealer options.




Please note: These are dimensional lumber measurements and how the boards are marked at your local lumber yard. The downloadable plans have the converted measurements. For example (a 24 board is actually 1 1/2 inches thick by 3 1/2 inches wide). * Please note some of the links in this post are affiliate links. By clicking on the links to buy a product you will be helping support more projects on DIYPETE.com.


*Make sure to let the wood dry out prior to building. Cedar pickets especially typically have a high moisture content so let them dry a week or so prior to building your headboard to prevent shrinkage.


Use a miter saw to cut the 44 legs down to size. Next cut the 24 boards and pickets to length for both the headboard and footboard. The measurements can be found in the DIY Pete Bed Frame plans which you can download in PDF format.


Use an orbital sander with 120 grit sandpaper. Smooth out the surfaces and go around the ends to clean up rough edges. If you are using cedar pickets you'll need to spend more time sanding them since they usually have a rough finish from the mill. Simply sand the boards until they are somewhat smooth but still have texture.


Use a pocket hole jig to create pocket holes in the 24 boards. The short boards will need 2 pocket holes on each end Three of the longer boards will need 2 pocket holes on each end. If you need help understanding Kreg Jig settings, check out my buddy Ty's free resource and Kreg Jig settings calculator here.

The perimeter boards will need pocket holes in the opposite direction as well. Simply put the board in the jig like I'm doing in the photo below. They'll look like the pocket holes with the arrows pointing to them once complete.




Attach the legs to the 24 frame using 2 1/2 inch pocket holes screws and wood glue. I used 1 inch thick boards as spacers to prop the 24's off the table. This way the frame is centered in the middle of the 44 legs. Please refer to my video tutorial for more information.


Glue and nail the pickets in place. I used 1 1/4 inch long 16 gauge nails. Use 2 nails at each location. I used 4 pickets. If they don't fit perfectly you can always cut one down in width using a table saw.




In addition to attaching the top 24 board from the underside with 2 1/2 inch pocket screws I added two 3 inch long wood screws from the top on each end going through the 24 and into the 44. You could fill the holes in with wood putty to hide them if you'd like.


Now it is time to choose a finish for your project. For the DIY bed frame I chose Minwax Clear Semi-Gloss Polyurethane. This is an oil based sealer that will bring out the rich colors of the wood. The knots will darken and the wood will have a warm glow to it. For those of you who like a more raw type finish I'd highly recommend the Minwax Waterbased Polyurethane. I used the Minwax Waterbased Polyurethane on my recent DIY barndoor project. Apply the sealer with a good quality brush. Wear a respirator while applying the sealer or make sure to be in a very well ventilated area.


Allow the sealer plenty of time to dry. Dry time will vary depending on the temperature and humidity. I was able to do a light sanding with 600-800 grit sandpaper after about 12 hours. Sanding lightly will smooth out the surface and remove rough areas.


Attach rail hardware. I found some super affordable bed frame rail hardware here. I measured 1 3/4 inch down from the top of the 28 board and put a mark. Next, I placed the rail hardware at the mark and close to flush with the end of the board. It can be flush or about 1/16 of an inch in to help give a more snug fit. Attach using 1 inch screws. The middle hole is for a set screw that can be used once the hardware is installed and the frame is assembled.




The lower part of the rail starts 9 inches up from the floor. Use some of your left over 44 board to make 9 inch spacers to prop your rails off the ground and hold them at the desired height. Then grab the L shaped piece and put it over the flat plate of the rail. Next, slide the L bracket up so the buttons move into the small groove and closer to the 44. Then use your pencil to mark on the 44 where the bracket should be placed. For more clarification please refer to the DIY bed frame video tutorial.


Attach the rails to the footboard and headboard. Simply lift into place and line the buttons up with the holes. Push down on the rail to lock it in place. Use a rubber mallet to help if needed. I'd recommend using a Sharpee marker to mark the boards in case you ever move and need to re-assemble the bed frame.


Once each corner had one nail, we flipped the frame over to add a second nail (because the nail gun can only get so close to the ground and you have to nail straight in). The frame took eight nails total.


Now, flip the canvas and frame over onto a hard, even surface. We had to elevate ours slightly since the canvas was recessed back from the frame. We found a wood shelf bracket in the garage, and placed a towel in between to protect the art.
