Metal poles were added to the top of this wood framed bed to create a retro-styled 4-post bed.

6 3/4" flanges
screws
electric drill or screwdriver
pencil

Figure H

Note: You'll need to have the steel poles cut at your local home improvement store.

1. Measure down from the top of the posts three inches, and then mark pilot holes with a pencil—using the holes in the 3/4 inch galvanized flanges. Pilot holes will be marked on the interior sides of the bedposts.

2. Add flanges to each end of the threaded 3/4 inch galvanized steel poles.

3. Attach galvanized poles to the sides and the foot of the bed at the pre-drilled marks (figure H).
