The canopy bed is the perfect example of the style and the luxury when the users think of choosing the bed furnishing items.

The users can easily build a canopy bed at home by following the below-mentioned step by step guide:
- Trim The Lumber: Start by trimming the 2/8 inch sized lumber into the 2 lengths of the eighty-four inches and the 2 lengths of the sixty-two inches by using the saw so as to craft the frame of the canopy bed. Then the users need to trim the 2/4 inch sized lumber into the 4 lengths of the sixty-two inches for the cleats of the mattress and into the 4 lengths of the eighty inches so as to craft the panels of the bed. Then they need to trim the 2/2 inch sized lumber into the 2 lengths of the eighty-four inches and the 2 lengths of the sixty-six inches so as to craft the canopy and then trim the plywood sheet so as to craft the support of the mattress of the 62/80 inches.
- Arrange The Frame Pieces: Then the users need to arrange the 2/8 sized pieces of the frame into the rectangular-shaped frame and then they need to arrange the sixty-two inch sized planks adjoin with the inner corners of the eighty-four inch sized planks so as to form the corners. Then they need to screw down the frame with each other by using the 2 deck screws within the eighty-four-inch sized plank side into the sixty-two-inch sizes plank ends.
- Place The Cleats: Then the users need to place the cleats diagonally within the frame. The first 2 cleats need to get flushed with the sixty two-inch sized planks and the other 2 steadily spaced within the middle. The users are advised to flush all the cleats with the frame base and then they need to affix fasten the cleats in one place by using the 2 deck screws within the frame sides to the cleats ends.
- Repeat The Procedure: Then they need to place the 2-bed panels down on a flat working surface, eighty-four inches apart. Then place the eighty-four-inch plank at the panel top, and level it with the panel top. Then they need to fasten the plank by using the 2 deck screws within each canopy end within the panel. The user then need to repeat the same procedure with the rest of the eighty-four-inch sized canopy and the panels of the bed.
- Secure The Panels: After that, the users need to stand the panel perpendicular and the canopy planks at its top and then arrange them on both bed frame sides. The bed panel sides need to get flushed with the frame ends. The users are advised to take help from another person so as to elevate the frame in a way that it will be near about ten inches from the surface of the ground. Then fasten the panels with the frame to this elevated height by using the bolts.
- Finish Up The Process: Finally the users need to mount the ladder and ask the helper to pass the sixty-six-inch sized canopy plank. Then they need to place the lumber plank over the bed end in between the panels of the 2 beds. They need to fasten it by using the 2 deck screws within the plank within the bed panel side. They need to repeat the same procedure with the rest of the canopy planks at another bed end so as to finish up the process of building the frame of the canopy bed.
