Step 4Rails
I used two "L" shaped end caps per rail to sandwich a pine board. It was glued together with gel epoxy and then clamped - clamped again -- and then a few more clamps. Probably about 200lbs of clamps total :/
To secure the rails to the platform (and provide stability to the platform) - a 2X1 "bracket" of sorts was glued on and screwed in. See 4th picture with the bracket installed.

Yeah, that part has me confused as well.... I don't know any of the terms really. I really want to try and make a platform bed but think I should follow some directions!

The rails are the vertical bits of the bed frame that surround the mattress.

Is the pine board the rail?

What are you calling a rail? Is it the little strips adjacent to both the plywood AND the large boards, or is it just the larger boards that are rails? And if the large boards are rails, what are the small strips that line around the platform? (Looks great tho! :D )
