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

What happens here

Using a stud finder, locate the ceiling joists (studs) where the bed will be hung. Mark the precise locations for the four ceiling screw eyes based on the measurements taken from the bed frame in the previous step. Use an impact drill to drill pilot holes into these marked locations in the ceiling joists. Then, screw the 3/8 inch x 4-7/8 inch screw eyes (eye lags) into the pilot holes until they are firmly seated. Ensure these are securely anchored into the wood framing, as they will bear the full weight of the hanging bed.

Goal: Mount the ceiling anchors for the hanging bed

just hang it into the drywall the next step of the process is actually uh putting our lag bolts up in the ceiling now and what we got to do is find something strong enough to actually you know hold this bed and so there's going to be you know studs or ceiling joists or rafters whatever you're looking for there's going to be some wood up in here that we can actually screw that thing to and just using a simple stud finder is the way you could locate that i'm just gonna measured out how far i want the bed to hang and took some measurements so you just got to make sure you get the measurements right where you actually want to screw this thing i'm just gonna be doing a hole you know right up in here i got a hole drilled there already just cleaned it out a little bit more then i'm going to be just screwing my eye lag
