What happens here

To correctly position the ceiling anchors, first measure the distance between the two eye bolts at one end of the bed frame. Then, measure the distance between the two eye bolts along the side of the bed frame. This project used a distance of 67 inches between the eye bolts on the long side. These measurements are crucial for ensuring the bed hangs level and for finding appropriate ceiling joists (studs) to lag into. Never hang a heavy bed directly into drywall; always locate and use a stud for maximum safety and support.

Goal: Determine the precise locations for ceiling anchors

Tools and materials

  • Assembled Bed Frame N/A — The object from which measurements are taken
  • Tape Measure — Measuring the distances between eye bolts

just like that so now in order to hang this thing from our ceiling we need to know that because we got to know where to put the lag bolts up in the the ceiling so we need to know the distance between the two eyelet hooks here so measure put align the hook there right in the highlight hook so we got distance between our two eyelet hooks is 67 inches and then we want to know the width between the two of them also and that way we can try to locate studs that were that are you know approximately that distance so it would typically hang straight up but you definitely want to find a stud to lag this thing into because it's a lot of weight you can't just hang it into the drywall
