It's time to address the black hole we call under the bed. With this under bed storage cart, not only will you have easy access to the goods, it will look great too! (Unlike those ugly plastic bins)

These plans and design are done by Rogue Engineer. For more great plans like this visit RogueEngineer.com!

  1. Project Steps

    1. Step: 1

      Cutting the Boards: Cut the boards to the dimensions shown in the cut list diagram. A table saw is required to cut the plywood bottom and rip part of the 1x6 down to proper widths.

    2. Step: 2

      Assemble Box Pre-drill and assemble box (sides, back and bottom) using wood glue and 1-1/2" wood screws. (Don't attach the front yet)

    3. Step: 3

      cont'd: Attach Side Rails Pre-drill and attach the side rails using wood glue and 1-1/2" wood screws. It may be worthwhile to counter sink the pre-drilled holes as to not risk splitting the wood. Note: Even though you see the wheels installed in this picture it would be wise to wait until after the cart is finished.

    4. Step: 4

      Install Front Attach front using wood glue and 1-1/4" brad nails. Then fill with wood filler and sand smooth when dry.

    5. Step: 5

      Finish and Install Pull and Wheels Finish as desired and install drawer pull. Then pre-drill and install 2" rigid casters using 3/4" wood screws.
