What happens here

Determine the desired locations for the eye bolts on the bed frame. These will be positioned at each of the four corners, directly over the 2x4 frame pieces. Use a tape measure to find the center of the 2x4 underneath the top planks. Once marked, use an impact drill to create pilot holes through the top planks and into the center of the 2x4s below. Ensure the drill bit is slightly smaller than the eye bolt's threaded portion to allow for a secure fit.

Goal: Prepare the bed frame for eye bolt installation

Tools and materials

  • Drill Bit — Creating pilot holes (size should be slightly smaller than the eye bolt's threads)
  • Impact Drill Ryobi — Drilling pilot holes
  • Tape Measure — Measuring and marking the drill locations
  • Assembled Bed Frame N/A — The structure receiving the eye bolts

our orbital sander okay now we're going to install the eyelets in here that this thing is going to be hanging from and we're going to be drilling a hole right down through here we're going to go right through the 2x4 that's underneath here and then those eyelets are going to come up through here and that's where our rope's going to be looped and hanging to so i'm going to i've got to find the center of this 2x4 in here i'm just gonna be measuring taking some measurements this is the two by four is actually an inch it's an inch and a half wide and this thing is overhanging by an inch i'm gonna measure it in an inch and then measure my inch and a half and split that right in the middle and that's where i'll be drilling that hole so now
