Aluminum Pipe Bed

Step 9Closing Remarks

I realize that there are other "pipe beds" out there for sale and DIY. This one is a little more detailed than the others I've seen. I originally built this many years ago. This site didn't even exist at the time, but thought I would share it anyway. It has worked great for us, and has weathered multiple moves with ease. It's the only canopy version that I've seen.

Feel free to post your questions, comments, and critisisms (constructive or otherwise). Please drop me a note if you decide to build your own pipe bed based on these directions.

If there is enough interest, I could probably provide a version that doesn't require any welding and/or a non-canopy design. Enjoy!

This looks great, we recently had to get rid of all of our beds (matress and box springs due to black mold) We have been hunting for just the right diy to build a new frame when we get replacement matresses and I believe this one will be it. We are going to try and build though with out welding needs. And suggestions would be greatly appriciated!
