Make the Pocket Holes
Drill pocket holes on the end of cuts D, E, F, and G
Assemble the Headboard
Attach one of the 38″ width 2x4s (D) to the two legs (C). Make sure make the top board is level with height of the two legs and use pocket screws and wood glue to attach them together.
Evenly spread apart the seven headboard rails (F) and use pocket screws and wood glue to attach them to the top that is connecting the legs.
Attach the second 38″ 2×4 board (D) to the bottom of all of the rails and secure it to the legs using pocket screws and wood glue.
Using wood glue, place one piece of cut (A) on top of the headboard as a decorative piece. Make sure to make it centered on both sides.
Assemble the Footboard
Do the same as the headboard steps except replace cuts (C) with (B) and cuts (F) with (E).
Attach Headboard and Footboard to the 75-inch 2×6 Rails
Using the pocket holes and wood glue on the end of the board, screw the insides of cuts (G) into the headboard and footboard about 6 inches off of the ground. You can choose your height anywhere from about 5-10 inches.
Attach the 75-inch 1×2 Ledges
On both inner sides of the 2x6s (G), attach the 75″ 1×2 (H) boards using wood glue and screws. Attach these boards where they are flush with the bottom of the 75″ 2×6 (G) rails.
Lay Down the 1×4 Boards Across the Ledges
Lay down the ten 39″ 1×4 (I) slats across the ledges. Make sure to space them out evenly along the bed frame.
