Bed rails are a crucial component to keeping your small child from dropping off the side of the bed in the middle of the night.

It can be adapted for longer side rails if desired. Step 1 Make it easy to start this project by asking the lumber yard to cut all pieces to measure. At home, lay them out with the four posts and three sets of rails between the posts. You are making a stand-alone three-sided rolling apparatus that will fit across the top of the bed and three feet down both sides. It will be easier to envision the finished project if you lay it out before assembling. Step 2 Sand the wood with medium- and then fine-grit sandpaper to prepare pieces
