Title: Under bed storage project
Post by: Lt. Dan on November 04, 2019, 08:40:10 AM
I'm running out of room for my "stuff" so I decided to build a custom under the bed out of the way storage box. It's 35" x 55" inside dimensions and 5" over all height.
I bought a 72" x 80" moving blanket from Harbor Freight which I cut in half, surging and sewing the cut edges.  I will place one half in the bottom and cover the items with the other half.  This will keep the dust bunnies from gathering on my stuff. Totat cost $60.

I like it!!  Thanks for sharing.  A bill of materials would have been nice but I think I can figure one out from your pics.

(1) 3/8" 4x8 sheet Lauan plywood from Lowe's $26
I had the pan head screws for the wheels took (16) No. 10 - 3/4"
I used my pneumatic finishing nail gun and I had the 18 ga x 2" nails for joining the boards and 3/4" staples for the plywood.
I used the wood glue I had on hand.
I had some Minwax water based sealer,  two coats.
