@ngugikimani6162 Hey Ngugi, thanks so much for stopping by. I hope you found this video useful. Come back and talk to me again down the road. Take care my friend 🤝

@kristannavlogs8236 Hey KristAnna, yes ma'am, I do have the exact measurements for everything *that I've built. I've learned over time that these floating bed frame videos serve as a good guide or base to start planning your own floating bed frame. We'll need to know the size of your mattress, if you have a box spring, if you want storage in the base, if you want a headboard, and if you'd like a flush build like this video or if you want a pocket build so your box spring sits inside of the frame. These are a few things to consider before I can just start spraying out dimensions for you. Reach me on Instagram curtis_made_it and we can get you all set up. I appreciate you stopping by and supporting this channel. Talk to you again soon 🤝

@jamesmatosse381 Hey James, I see you are watching from Mozambique 🇲🇿 Your country has a very cool looking flag my friend. I appreciate you stopping by and taking the time to support this channel and talk with me. I hope your build goes well and that your client is very happy with your workmanship. Take care my brother, we'll talk again down the road 🤝

@davidsullivan1194 Hey David, this is a good question. I don't know what your hauling capacity is so it's kind of hard to give you a number. I'd make sure you have your cut list in hand and then you can figure out if you will have any cost savings by getting 12 footers instead of 8 footers. If I remember correctly though, it was 11 - 8 footers to make it happen. Two of the boards you will use the off cuts from the joists in the frame for the head and footboards of the base. Texas here. Thanks for stopping by and supporting this channel, I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other questions at all. Take care David, we'll talk again down the road 🤝

@@CurtisMadeIt I will be using a car trailer to haul all the wood since it’s the longest trailer we have. I will definitely have my number sheet to make sure that I have enough to make the bed. Once I am done with the bed I will send photos if it lets me do so. Thanks again for your response

@davidsullivan1194 You bet, I'm glad to help. ...A car trailer to haul the wood might be a little overkill...I hauled the wood for this build in a 2012 Ford Fusion. However you do it, just make sure and be careful. You want all *untreated* lumber. Use your off cuts from the frame for the base whenever possible. 3 inch screws at all the junctions. 1 1/4" drywall screws to secure the 2" L shaped corner brackets to the base and the frame. You'll be done by noon, make sure the drinks are cold. I don't think you can share pictures here but I'm on instagram curtis_made_it. Feel free to reach me there any time and share your progress and/or final results. I appreciate you talking with me David.

@amandaspradlin9492 Hey Amanda, I'm wondering how to accurately predict the very wild volatile swings in the stock market. I'll trade you for free, straight up. 😂 Cali-king is just a little different measurements than this king size, but materials and cut list will also vary slightly based on 1)box spring 2)storage for the base 3)flush build like is shown here or a pocket build so your box spring sits down in there a little bit 4)headboard. These are some of the things to consider when you are planning a build like this. Reach me on instagram curtis_made_it and we can fine tune your design. Thanks for stopping by and talking with me, I appreciate your time and support here 🤝

@shaiannegerken3183 Hey Shaianne, don't feel dumb for asking...the only dumb questions are the ones you *don't* ask. I've made some changes to this build to make it a whole lot easier for you guys...reach me on instagram Curtis_made_it if you'd like. Instead of the Simpson strong ties, I've switched to 2" L shaped corner brackets to secure the base to the frame. They are a whole lot easier to handle and they don't involve any thinking at all like the Simpson strong ties do. You should secure the L brackets to the base and the frame with 1 1/4" drywall screws....you are likely only going to be able to buy a pound box of these so you are gonna end up with a million extra, but that box should only set you back about six bucks or so so you should be alright. Check out the twin size floating bed frame video posted on this channel to see how to secure these L brackets if you'd like. I hope this helps. I appreciate your time and support here, thank you 🤝

@hollyjollyjunk7616 Hey Holly, I'm glad you ended up here too! I agree with you, I think one for a climbing red rose bush would be very nice. I hope it turns out great. Thanks for stopping by and supporting this channel 🤝

@MadisonGough-l5y Hey Madison, just take the foot board of the base and straddle it over the top of the side and middle boards and secure it down from the top to leave the foot area open for storage...no need to widen it at all unless you are trying to accommodate for specific storage bins. Does this help? Thanks for stopping by and talking with me. I hope you have a safe build.

@branhamphotos5354 Hey B, I think I put the dimensions on screen in this king size video...take another look and let me know what questions you have. Thanks for your time and support here my friend.

@michaelkolkmeier7400 Hey Michael, this is actually a pretty good idea, not one that I've previously considered! I don't know of a lot of people that would want to do this, but this is definitely an idea to be considered under the right circumstances. If you've seen any of the other floating bed frame videos posted on this channel, you'll know that I build them sturdy enough that I can jump all the way around the perimeter without any issues of tipping at all. This twin size floating bed frame was one I built due to sheer number of requests. This frame is very long and narrow and it wasn't an easy task designing it to be as sturdy as it is. I hope the video helped you though and I'm glad you took the time to stop and talk with me and leave us your recommendation here. Thanks for your time and support on this channel, I mean it 🤝

@rabbit662 Hey Rabbit, sure thing. I think I put the measurements on screen in this king size video, didn't I...? Anyways, I'd go with all untreated 2x6's. Consider things like: do you have a box spring? do you want storage in the base? are you going to flush build or pocket build your frame? are you adding a headboard? These are some of the things to think about before you just start rippin' and runnin'. I hope this helps and I hope you have a safe build my friend. Thanks for your time and support here, I mean it 🤝

@CrankyCoder Hey CC, thanks so much for your compliment and question. I don't have the measurements to do this on the full size at this time. I'm sure it would be a pretty simple retro fit...just change the measurements a little bit. You are one of the very few to have asked this question...you guys keep asking about it and I'm gonna have to do a full size headboard video too 🤦‍♂️ I can help you if you need it, let me know and we'll try to get it figured out. Thanks for your time and support here 🤝

@MALAGApodcast Hey MALAGA, you are *super* in luck because I've already posted a headboard for the king size on this channel! Go to the channel video/content section and you will see it in there...king size headboard. I've got a different style for the queen size that can be retro fitted to fit the king size as well.

@josephstocks7495 Hey Joseph, I'd like to say that you are correct, but I'm not exactly sure what you are saying here 🤦‍♂️ Apologies my friend. I appreciate you stopping by and talking with me though, I hope you are having a nice day. Take care, we'll talk again down the road.

@@CurtisMadeIt lol. I meant no ill will with my comment. I was merely pointing out your choice of lumber when building this bed frame and pointing out the fact its larger than what would typically be used for a frame that size. But that's no cheap shot at you, bc I would've chosen the same board size. If there was ever a word used to describe my choice for hardware or materials when constructing a personal project, it's overkill. Lol. Anyways, great video and the frame looks sound and sturdy.

@josephstocks7495 No offense taken at all Joseph. Larger than typical...yes, I couldn't agree more. ...Go back and watch the Queen size floating bed frame. That was the original that got *all* of these floating bed frame videos going on this channel. The 2x6's seemed like the best combination to make this effectively happen the way I wanted it to(2x4's for the base wouldn't be tall enough, 2x4's for the frame and now the base has to be quite a lot wider to keep it from tipping). Of course, I couldn't have anticipated that video getting the number of views that it has, but when I was planning that first build for KZbin, I did keep in mind that whatever I was doing was going to be going out to the world and people may actually try to reproduce it so it needs to be legit sturdy, even for larger bodies. I was also considering that anyone who tries to recreate this may be doing so from a cost savings perspective so I was trying to keep it manageable in price to make this happen and I wanted to make sure that it would last. Overkill...yes. That's how we do things. It only takes getting burned a time or two before you learn to just put the little extra effort in to make sure that your time was worth spending on that project. Take care brother, we'll talk again soon 🤝

@@CurtisMadeIt I totally understand your approach and thought process behind the build now. And honestly thanks for the replies, I know it can't be easy to reply to everyone but it's nice knowing that a creator takes their time to respond to a viewers comment. I look forward to checking out all your videos. Take care my friend. God bless you and yours.

@mrkrabs-hl1gi Hey Evan from Illinois, thanks for stopping by.

@IsaacDavid-wf8gv Hey Isaac, today is 07.16.2024. You should still be able to get outta there with all your materials for well less than $200.

@carlosholguin3182 Hey Carlos, thanks for stopping by. Yes, this is correct. Instead of (what I recommend) using 2x6's for the base and the frame, you can just as easily get 2x8's or 2x10's for the base and go with the same measurements. This will have your frame sitting taller. I hope this helps. I appreciate your time and support here my friend, I mean it 🤝

@@CurtisMadeIt thank you for replying. Highly appreciate it so I think I’m gonna go with the 2 x 10 one quick question on the bedframe. The choices are in the middle. What are the inches that you separated them?

@carlosholguin3182 Hey Carlos, I’m just now seeing your reply 🤦‍♂️ I don’t remember the exact spacing to be honest. The joist at the head area needs to run on top of the headboard for the base. The joist at the foot area needs to sit back about two inches from the end of the base. The spacing between the other joists I think was between 16 and 17 inches each…again, not trying to be vague or cryptic, I just don’t remember exactly what it was. I hope this helps and I’ll make sure to reply more quickly if you hit me back. Take care my brother.

Would that require slats if there’s no box spring?

@oliviab9248 Hey Olivia, thanks for stopping by. I recommend a box spring with this floating bed frame set up to properly support the mattress and to allow it to 'breathe'. If you only use a mattress, you are going to need either cedar fence pickets slightly spaced apart or plywood with holes drilled in it, again, for proper airflow. I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other questions. I hope you have a safe build and I very much appreciate your time and support here. Talk to you again soon my friend 🤝

@oliviab9248 Hey Olivia, you can see my reply to your original comment but I recommend a box spring with this build. In the absence of a box spring, cedar fence pickets spaced slightly apart will function as your slats. I'm here if you have any other questions. Have a safe build.

@israelholi7597 Hey Israel, either way is fine, the bricks are to help it sit level.

@michaelpelegrin8970 Hey, good morning Michael, thanks for stopping by. To support your mattress, you are either going to need plywood with holes drilled in it or cedar fence pickets spaced slightly apart. The holes or spacing allows the mattress to ‘breathe’…this issue(mattress being able to breathe) was brought up to me by a viewer and not something I had previously considered, but it does seem to make sense and feels right so this is what I recommend in the absence of a box spring. I hope this helps. You have any other questions? Thanks for your time and support here, I mean it 🤝

@MelissaHuyck-js8td Hey Melissa, good morning, thanks so much...Houston, Texas here. I don't really know how to start to reply to such high praise. You are the real hero. I accidentally became a KZbin creator in October of 2019 when I posted the queen size version of this floating bed frame. That video really took off much more so than I ever could have anticipated so I kept making videos. This king size was after I had been producing videos for quite a little while and I kind of had an idea of how I wanted to present the items I was making. I'm certain you can see the evolution of my video editing if you watch from oldest to newest. Now I'm here! I try to be quick, funny, useful, and informative in a not over produced video to get the point across quickly but effectively. No one has time these days to watch a ~15-20 minute video. We want to be able to see how to do this thing that I want to pretty quickly and be able to ask the creator questions if I need to. That's what we do here on this channel...run 100% by me. I'll be launching a website here before too long too. I can't thank you enough for your most enthusiastic support and encouragement. Thank you, thank you 🤝
