Wall Bed

I decided to make a wall bed (Murphy bed) to save space and double as an office. This is for a full size bed.
Materials:
2x8 - 12 ft (If I did it again I would have gotten 2x10)
2x4 - 10 ft
8in gate hinges - 2
Size 14 screws for gate - 8
Size 14 bolts and nuts - 2
3" screws
A full size bunk bed frame
Drill
Saw

Cut the 2x8 into 2 60" pieces. Drill them together and cut two more pieces to make supports. Then drill the back to the wall

Drill the hinges onto the 60" 2x4 first then onto the base.

So here is where I drilled the bolt into the 2x4 to attach the frame. If I would have gotten a 2x10 instead of 2x8 I could have had the 2x4 lay horizontal when the bed is laid down. Then I could have drilled the bolt through the thin part of the board. Instead I had to drill a hole in the middle of the board so I could get the nut on the bolt.

Just drill a hole and bolt on

Put the bed on and test it out. Then you need something to hold it while it's up. I chose bungee cords.
