Step 3Adding Wheels
Because the aluminum channel is very skinny, I had to make my own wheels with pulleys. For a much smoother roll, I suggest you find a wider channel, and get real wheels. For those of you who only want to spend 4 dollars on wheels then I suggest you do what I did:
Very simple:
1: Find plastic pulleys, and harness them to the stell crossbeams. The wheels are going to face perpindicular to the beams. To secure the pulleys use zip ties...they are amazing. Use a dab of epoxy also to make a stronger connection.
2:The pulley wheels need to be small enough to fit in the aluminum channel. If for some reason there is alot of friction once the unit is placed on the channel, use WD40...but try not to spray it all over your bed...
