To determine the sizes of a future bed, you must navigate the mattress.

Tools for making a cot.

Standard mattress size in a crib - 1200x600 mm.

So, bedding cots will be located at an altitude of 900 mm from the floor. The back of the crib will be slightly higher - 1100 mm. In order for a child when it is growing, he could independently climb into bed, the height of the bedroom should not exceed the value of 340 mm. And one more important point, the vertical slats of the end and side walls of the crib must have a gap for more than 120 mm. Only in this case the child will be safe, as it will not be able to shove the head between the planks.

The process of manufacturing a children's bed begins with the manufacture of cutting parts for transverse lateral and end walls. Boards are processed using manual tools or on a woodworking machine. Their width must correspond to a value of 7 cm, and the thickness is 3.5 cm.

• Frame under the location of the mattress will be made of bars. For standard size, the transverse bars in the amount of 6 pieces are needed;
• The framework details must be glued using the Viima, while it is very important to monitor its rectangles;
• Next, you can start making a backrest for a bed. Its size is calculated according to the following formula - to 60 cm add the value of the double thickness of the side parts and plus 2 more. Everything is simple enough. Next, the backrest is assembled on a spike of 3.5 cm;
• To calculate the size of the length of the transverse parts of the back, it is necessary - from the value of the backrest width, the width of the bed legs multiplied by 2, and then add a dual spike value;
• In order to make a bed strip, use rails. As noted above, it is very good if they are made of such wood as an oak or beech. Next, the bar must be combined with transverse parts with a deaf single spike;
• After the backrest frame is assembled (without using glue), it is necessary to make the length of the planks. To the length that we have turned out, you need to add 2 more values ​​of the length of spikes.

Pay attention to such a requirement for the quality of a crib, as the absence of sharp parts, corners and burrs. Very carefully perform the grinding of the rods, and all the angles must be rounded using a special milling mill. All these actions must be executed before you begin to assemble the details of the bed.

Completion of the assembly process

Collect the back of a children's bed. To do this, all the planks put on glue and immediately end the backing assembly completely. With the help of the weema, you compress the resulting design, without forgetting to verify the correctness of the direct angle.

• In the same way, collect side walls of the bed. All internal angles of the collected bed location must be processed using a cutter (rounded);
• In order to collect in a single whole side and end walls of beds, use self-tapping screws designed for wood work. Their length is usually from 80 to 100 mm;
• The bottom of the crib must be displayed with a sheet of plywood and fix with small nails.

At the end of the assembly, the most pleasant moment comes to the finish. Walking our crib will be lacquer. For children's furniture it is better to choose a more harmless option. For aesthetic appearance, it is necessary to perform 3 layers. After each application, wait for complete drying, then perform grinding. Now the baby cot is ready to use. Sweet dreams and good health to your baby!
