The euro pallets are assembled with the help ofmetal plates, corners and wood screws. We connect two pallets with metal plates and corners. To get a bed length of 1800 mm, one pallet is not enough. We cut one of the pallets in half and add to the two pallets joined in width. On the frame of the bed went 3 pallets. On the back of the bed, one pallet is not enough, so you need one more (fifth) to lengthen it, adding 400 mm.
Remaining material from the fifth pallet and the sixthwe disassemble on bars and boards. The first can be used as legs for the bed, and the boards are made edging around the perimeter of the bed. In this case, the mattress lays in the box thus received.
