How to find replacement bed parts?

Question

this might not be the best photo but I’m hoping to find where I could get a couple of these vertical bed poles/legs that are for supporting under the middle of the frame. Clearly mine broke despite the bed never having more than half of the supposed weight capacity on it

Hello @justamilla

As a possible alternative, I suggest cutting a piece of timber (same length as the pole) and using it as the leg. Connect the timber piece using the original bracket and using the access hole in the middle of the bracket as a screw point for the timber leg.

If you need further assistance, please let us know.

"Clearly mine broke despite the bed never having more than half of the supposed weight capacity on it."

To my eyes it's not the weight that's the issue - it's the fact the manufacturer only spot welded two areas - not the entire circumference.

So the leg could then rock on the opposite sides = metal fatigue = fracture.

My thought is to re-weld your leg all the way round, or better still, re-weld a more substantial steel leg in place.

Maybe a Men's/Women's shed could help?

I'm also happy to receive the bracket in the mail - weld a leg onto it - send it back to you. No cost.

Just a pre-wine thought.

Cheers.

I know this isn’t the best photo, I’m not with the frame now. The top part of the broken one attaches here (it’s still screwed on in the photo but I can remove it). So it would need to be something that can screw onto here
