STEP 2
Use 2 ½”screws and glue to build your support frame. Recommend 3 screws per corner. Check for square.
Attach your cleats ¾”from the top edge of the 2x6s with the 2 ½”screws and glue.
Doubling up the 2×6 and the 2×4, creates a super strong support system for the slats.
Use 2 ½”screws from the outside of the frame support ends into the end edges of the cleats.

A more expensive wood can be used here (while keeping the stud grade frame) to make the lounger bed even more
rened looking.
Bottom and end edges are ush, top will create a lip for you bed to keep it from sliding o the platform.
Add side trim just like the end trim.

Predrill and install the eye bolts in
the corners as shown above. It is
very important that the eye bolts
are attached to the longer 2×6,
as the weight of the bed will be
transferred from the slats to
the cleats to the side
2x6s and then to the
eye bolts.

Rest the bed on sawhorses or a table under where you want to hang it.
Attach eye bolts to rafters in the ceiling and hang the bed with a chain
from all four corners.
The type of bolt you should use will vary depending on your rafters.
