What happens here

Insert a 3/8 inch x 7 inch eye bolt through each of the four drilled holes in the bed frame. On the underside of the frame, place a 5/16 inch washer over the threaded end of each eye bolt. Then, screw a nut onto the eye bolt until it is tightly secured, clamping the washer and wood firmly between the eye and the nut. This creates strong attachment points for the ropes.

Goal: Create secure attachment points for the ropes on the bed frame

Tools and materials

  • Wrench — Tightening nuts on eye bolts
  • Eye Bolt Sets — Anchoring points for ropes
  • Washers — Distributing load under the nut
