What should be a children's bed
Before making a beautiful and unusual baby cot for a boy with your own hands, you should familiarize yourself with the requirements that such furniture must match.
- The requirement is the first - environmental friendliness and natural origin of materials. Traditionally the safest natural material is a tree. It is warm enough, not so solid as metal, and much easier in processing. All you will handle wood should also be non-toxic and safe for health. It concerns varnishes, paints, impregnations, etc. The best wood for children's furniture is alder, maple, beech and birch. In order to save when creating the bed, you can do and high-quality chipsert or plywood.
- The bed machine for the boy you decide to make your own hands should also be comfortable. It is desirable that the handsucking child could do without the help of parents to sleep and peel off the bed.
- Baby beds for boys, like any other similar designs, should be safe. This means that the kid should not fall out of bed during sleep or traumat about it. The design is unacceptable sharp corners, solid and highly discovering parts. The safety of furniture means that all its elements must be securely fixed with high-quality fasteners. Please note that the bolts, nuts and other parts must be twisted in wood and are covered with plastic plugs on top. Parts of the bed must be fastened so that anywhere there is no gaps. A leg, pen or finger of a child can get into a wide clearance, and this is dangerous for his health.
- Making a bed for a little boy or even for a teenager with her own hands, do not start exploiting it until the smell of all used tools.
- Check the smoothness of the wood by hand, swipe on all surfaces to detect roughness, hooks, jar.
- The place where you will put such furniture should be well covered, be warm, have access to fresh air, but not to be located on a draft. If your child is completely even a crumb, near the battery, windows or heating device should not put bed.
- Hanging something above the baby's head is also not recommended.

Make a crib "Ferrari" with your own hands: Step-by-step instructions
The bed we will do is designed for a standard children's mattress with dimensions of 160x70x10 cm. The design will be functional, since together with a sleeping place there will be a toy box, a roll-up box for sleeping facilities, a small shelf stylized under the spoiler. The board of the bed is made like the body of the Ferrari car.
To work, we will take such devices and materials:
- wooden bars 5x5 cm, preferably from pine;
- MDF - we need a thickness of 12 and 16 mm thick;
- plywood with a thickness of 10 mm;
- self-tapping screws;
- furniture rigor rollers to roll out drawers;
- confirmation;
- piano loop.
We make a crib as follows:
- First of all, you need to mount the place where the mattress will be located. We will collect it from a pine timber, and for the connection of the details we will take a screw of 8 cm long. Our frame should be such dimensions: 160x70 cm.
- Collecting the frame, put it on 5 legs with a height of 22.5 cm. In the back of the design, we will place 2 supports, and in front - 3.
- The next stage of the assembly of the bed machine for the boy do it yourself - the manufacture of the front drawer, where you can fold toys. According to the drawings that you see below, the box will consist of 2 side walls, bottom, front and rear walls, as well as covers.
- Prepare the details fit and size, we will collect them together. Connect the back wall and bottom to the confirmation. Then we mount the sidewalls, put the front wall and attach the lid. The cover will be attached to the box of piano loop.
- We will make the side of the Ferrari car from plywood or from MDF 16 mm thick. Putting the material on a stable smooth surface, we apply a paper pattern to it and circle contours. The side of the machine will not be identical, because on one side we will place a roll-out drawer. For him, we comply with the corresponding cutout.
- Now fix the structure of the design on the frame for the mattress using the confirmation. The distance between the floor and sides should be 13 mm.
- Bed to the bed frame and, focusing on his position, join the boards to the raiks on the confirmation.
- The next step is the box must be fixed. We do it with Jerhovints, screwing them out from the inside of the box into the pine timber frame. To the sides of the car, the Box Buffer Self-Tests.
- Now we need to make a niche, which will accommodate a sloping box for sleeping facilities. Make a niche from the racks 70x26 cm. In the upper corners, we compile cuts for the bar, corresponding to its cross section, that is, 50x50 mm.
- Fix the racks so that they clearly coincide with the neckline on board.
- To make a headboard for a bed, make a detail according to the drawing presented below.
- Attach the headboard to the framework frame.
- So that the bed in the form of a car for the boy was the functions as functional as possible, equip it with a dying drawer, which will move with the help of rigor rollers. They can also be used as guides, only need to be mounted in the side racks of the niche.
- Dimensions of the box must be calculated depending on the size of the rods, which will serve as guides. The box must easily fit between them. In our example, the boxes of the box are as follows: the width is 552 mm, the depth is 639 mm, and the height along with the rollers is 214 mm.
- The box, which we equip the bed machine for the boy will include such structural elements: bottom of 639x552 mm, side walls with a size of 639x169 mm and depositors 520x169 mm. Details collect on confirmation. First, we attach a facade of 606x208 mm to the box. The bottom of the facade should coincide with the bottom of the structure. Note that the outer part of the box must easily enter the cutout for it and leave the gap in about 2 mm.
- Now you can mount the box in the design. So that the front part of the drawer coincided in the level with a board, at the back will attach the limiter to the corresponding length.
- From the thinner MDF, it is necessary to make decorative details on the template: discs, tires, spoiler, lining on the side of the machine, side racks. The lining will be different, you see it in the drawing.
- The finished parts can be painted in a disassembled form in contrast tones, dry, and then collect the design completely. As we do our own bed cars for a boy in the form of "Ferrari", then the main color can be chosen red. However, you can choose a shade at your discretion.
- Delicious details Breeping to our car with self-draws. During installation, we need to rear with the back of the structure, where the board and the decorative pad must coincide. The lower edge of the lining must be placed at a distance of 41 mm from the floor.
- Let's make a lining for the facade according to the drawing.
- I will attach it to the facade.
- For the wheels of our car you need to make discs and tires. The outer and internal tire radios are 164 and 125 mm, respectively. Internal circle We use for the manufacture of disks. Collect tires in black, and discs in gray.
- Fix the finished wheels on the design. They must hide below the framework of the frame.
- The final stage by mounting the rear spoiler. For it, we will prepare a shelf of MDF 16 mm thick, make the racks from MDF 12 mm. In place for the mattress, we put Paneru 10 mm thick.
