Aluminum Pipe Bed

Step 8 Finished

Once everything is assembled, and you've confirmed that your mattress and box spring fit inside the frame, it's time to tighten everything up. Use your hex key to lock the pipe firmly in place. The makers of Kee Klamp recommend that you tighten the setscrew to 29 lbs./ft. or 39 Nm of torque. This is approximately "hand-tight."

You've created a strong, rigid bed frame that should be able to support a few thousand pounds! The finished frame should measure 67"W x 82"D x 90"H.
