Great idea with much thinner profile. It wouldn't work in the Great Northwest. 90 inches of rain during winter. The slides would rust and cease up in first 6 months. 2 sheets of 3/4" plywood overlap sitting on the rails would stop the leak. I'll be copying the Diamond back bed cover. You can easily make it waterproof and very cheap. Diamond back covers go for 1900 to 2400 plus tax. I can make it for less than 300. Be sure to stain it really good.
Hi. Love it. Been needing sometjing like this so bad! I am incspable of building in my head so this is so helpful! Did you say, are tue wioden pieces pallets? Did you ever make an indepth video? Love it either way! Thank you!
The top slats are tongue and groove from Home Depot that I cut to size. Pretty cheap and have held up well (and look old). No in depth vid yet but since the bed has been on there a while I could do an update. The whole concept has worked!
My history is showing this - VEVOR Drawer Slides, 1 Pair 48 Inch Heavy Duty Drawer Slides, Ball Bearing Side Mount Drawer Hardware Slides, 500 LBS Load Capacity 3-Section Full Ext. I have clicked the link and double checked. I'm not seeing the exact ones that I ordered. When fully extended you would not want to stand on the extended portion. This should give you a good size to go off of. The width of the rail is really important. The space between the wheel tub and the top of the bed is the limiting factor. Then you have to make sure your tops will fit/slide. It was tricky!!
