HANGING BED. How to make a bed that hangs from a ceiling. Making a swinging bed.

What happens here

With the bed frame hanging, make initial height adjustments by tying simple overhand knots in the ropes where they attach to the quicklinks on the bed frame. Adjust each rope until the bed is level and at the desired height. For fine-tuning, the video suggests that the eye bolts on the bed frame can also be adjusted (presumably by unscrewing them slightly or adding/removing washers, though not explicitly shown for fine-tuning). Once satisfied with the height and levelness, trim any excess rope with a sharp knife, being careful with the blade. The final result is a functional and aesthetically pleasing hanging bed.

Goal: Level and secure the hanging bed frame

Tools and materials

  • Snap Knife — Trimming excess rope
