How to build a DIY Hanging Bed

Need a place to lounge and create an oasis outdoors!? Well, we’re sharing our woodworking journey as we rebuild our hanging daybed. It’s been our most popular DIY build plan and people want to know how it all comes together.

For this design, we wanted a very clean line platform with a little Japanese feel to how the corners joined. Also, the design has the option to move the headboards around and face different directions or even remove the headboards altogether! Make sure to check out the DIY plans available, so you can build one yourself.
