Step 4Attach the Legs
My bed frame and box spring sat about 14" off the ground. I wanted the frame to hold the mattress that high, but I had a 6 ft fencepost hanging around, so I used 16" instead (to save a cut).
use E, F, &G for this.
Cut the fencepost into 4 equal lengths (don't want a wobbly bed).
Assemble the frame and flip it over so that you can find where to mount the legs. Although it will be attached to the end, it will sit against the slat supports that you just added.
Insert 4 of the wood screws to hold everything in place.
See how everything fits together?
To finish it off, drill the holes for the bolts in the long sides. I only used 2 to hold the frame together, but you may not need them- mine don't even have nuts on them.
