Thanks very much for this video, I have two and a half "upgrade suggestions which i implemented myself. 1: Use but hinges with removable pin 2: The "gap" you have between your panels.... Rotate / alternate (if 3 panels) and you can slat up right to the edge 3: use plastic Slat caps .... and indiustrial strength velcro. (Cut the pins of the caps. It makes spacing easier) Allows more fexibility on the slat and if something breaks its easier to replace

Yes the support legs were lifted a few millimeters off the floor when retracted to ensure a smooth slide. 👍 Many thanks for watching

@mollygambardella2409 Год назад

Wonderful video, thank you! I understand how to find the length (& make in sections!), but I'm wondering if there is an equation you used to figure out how deep to make the couch based on the size of the bed? For example, if you know you want the overall bed width (fully extended) to be 54", would you make the couch and pull-out slats to be 27" (1/2 of 54") each? Thank you!

@tomaldridge8202 7 месяцев назад

Hi, great informative video thank you! Best best build i have seen. I wondered do you cut down the bed slats to be smaller as i can't find any the right length
