Drill two pocket holes on each end of the Front and Footboard Rails. Using pocket hole screws, attach the Front Rail between the other two Posts, aligned flush with the back of the Posts and 6" from the bottom. Using pocket hole screws, attach the Footboard Rail directly above the Front Rail.
Drill two pocket holes in each end of the Upper Side Beams and Upper Front/Back Beams. Using pocket hole screws, attach the Upper Front/Back Beams between their respective posts, 1" down from the top. Using pocket hole screws, attach the Upper Side Beams between their respective posts, 1" down from the top.
Starting flush along the Back Rail, use screws to attach a Slat to the Side Inner Supports. Use the Kreg Quick Flip to drill a pilot hole in each spot before driving a screw into place. Using a 3 1/2" spacer, continue until all Slats are in place.
Slide the mattress into place on top of the Slats and between the Rails. Get a great night sleep!
