Attach two 2x2” on each side from the top center to make top rails. Measure 10” from the highest point of the roof (or it could be less, that’s optional). Using wood glue and pocket holes screws attach the first one to the highest point of the sides of the roof. Make pocket holes on both ends using a Kreg jig. And then attach the second part of the roof with the same method.Īttach the roof to the polls Step 5 - attach top rails and side boardsĬut three 2x2" at 71 ½". Use the countersink bit, make a pilot hole, and drive screws from the top to the bottom.ĭo the same thing on the other side. If you can get a helping hand, that would be a perfect time!

To attach it I used wood glue and self-tapping 2 ½" screws. Place the taller board over the shorter and attach it at a 90-degree angle. Make a bevel 45 degree cut on one side of each board. Pay attention to those quoters of an inch.
I like to also use a countersink bit to make sure that screws are flush with the sides.Ĭut four boards from 2x3” to make a roof.

Step 2 - assemble the base of the bedĬut two 2x4" at 54" long. But if you plan to disassemble it while moving then don't use the glue. Don't forget to use wood glue for stability. Using Kreg jig, 2 ½” pocket holes screws, and my favorite right-angled clamp, attach polls to the side. You could use a table saw but a miter saw is a better fit for this.
