This project should take no more than 10 minutes once you gather your supples.
Things You Will Need
-
Slide a stud finder across the wall and find a stud near a bed post on each of the two walls of the corner in which the loft bed is set up.
-
Set your L brace or C brace in position on a bed post and corresponding stud. Mark the wood and wall through the screw holes with the tip of a wood screw.
-
Drill pilot holes in the wall and bed post, using a drill bit 1/8 inch narrower than the diameter of the screws.
-
Drive in a drywall anchor with a hammer to provide a solid mount for the screws if any of the pilot holes miss a stud.
-
Screw the brace into position, using the power drill. Repeat steps 2 through 5 for the other brace and stud.
