Step 7Put the thing together
Get out all your screws and a drill (or screwdriver).
This is the part where you add things like a closet rod supports if you want. You might also want to screw in your steps to the ladder at an appropriate interval (depends on how high your bed is and how big your feet are!)
Now lets really go 3D
Put the angle brackets on the short sides and have someone hold them in place while you screw them into the top and bottom corners on each of the 2 big sides you've assembled with the bolts already.
The sides are pretty heavy but I managed this the first time with only one person holding stuff for me.
Now you have a big box with no sides and a ladder attatched.
the slats are straightforward: lay them out from one end to another at regular intervals. Take those 2.5" long decking screws and use them to attatch the slats.
that's just about it!
