Product Overview
Picket Fence Bed Plans Pea Patch Model
The Pea Patch Picket Fence Twin and Trundle Bed Set Plans detail building a twin bed and trundle that holds twin size mattresses. The trundle bed hides the lower mattress when not in use. We think that you will be amazed at how little this bed costs to build. We have included the materials list on this page (see below) to allow you to price the materials. The instructions are simple to follow and it can be built by anyone who can operate a circular saw, sander and a drill with a few bits.
Of all models of beds that we built, this was always our best seller in our retail store outselling all of our bunk beds. That is because of its dramatic appearance. The majority of the Pea Patch beds that we built were painted white and we used colored bedding to make it pop. It is a great alternative to a bunk bed because it sleeps two but is easier to get in and out of. The drawer can be used as a storage drawer instead. If you have the occasional guest that needs the trundle bed, you can keep an inflatable mattress or a foam mattress in the closet for these situations and replace the items that are stowed in the drawer with the mattress for the duration of the stay.
Measurements of the finished Trundle bed are as follows; 34 inches tall, by 42" wide (84" with trundle open), by 86 ½” long and holds two standard twin mattresses. The headboard is 39"H while the footboard is 25"H. This bed, like all of the beds in our lineup, is designed to be very safe and sturdy. It will hold the weight of several adults at once (not suggesting they would be very comfortable). This is designed to last. If you follow our plans, you can get professional results. Our retail price on this bed was about $700 USD. You can build it for MUCH less! Check it out, the materials list is below.
About the hardware kit; our hardware is high quality. We sell only factory assembly screws, not drywall screws. The lag screws that we sell are black plated and are hardened steel. The hardware kit is competitively priced with the common plated stuff and the drywall screws that you can find at the hardware or home center, but they are far superior and we offer free shipping too!* We ship fast, so if you order a plan today and get started, it is likely that the kit will be there before you need it.
*FREE shipping on hardware kits to all 50 United States (others write for details). Great value!
