  1. Remove the mattress from the bed.

  2. Remove the screws holding the wooden slats to the bed's side rails with an electric screw gun. Use either a flat-head or Phillips screw drill bit.

  3. Use the dimensions of the old slats to make new ones. Cut the new slats to the same length, using a circular saw.

  4. Insert the new slats where the old slats were removed. Screw in place using the same screws securing the old slats.

Warnings

Wear eye protection while using the circular saw.
