Harold's Renovation Blog: Trundle bed hack means more space for activities!

I have two of the IKEA FJELLSE beds. I made this video where I turned them into a trundle bed. We did it, so to create a lot more space for our kids to play.

You’ll come back to it later. Next, you need to resize the length of the second bed rails to fit beneath the top FJELLSE bed. It should be long enough the contain your mattress, yet short enough to slot under easily. Join the two bed rails together with the two leftover pieces of the footboard. Then, shorten the wood slats of the second bed too, so the trundle bed fits neatly beneath the top bunk. Secure the wood slats to the bed rails. Once your trundle is done, you can move on to the top bunk. <img alt="Trundle bed from 2 FJELLSE beds | IKEAHackers" class="aligncenter wp-image-72049 size-full" data-attachment-id="72049" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-description="" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"2.2","credit":"","camera":"BLL-L23","caption":"mde","created_timestamp":"1516310593","copyright":"","focal_length":"3.83","iso":"1600","shutter_speed":"0.066663999039654","title":"mde","orientation":"1"}" data-image-title="mde" data-large-file="https://i2.wp.com/www.ikeahackers.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/trundle-bed-fjellse-1.jpg?fit=1024%2C768&ssl=1" data-medium-file="https://i2.wp.com/www.ikeahackers.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/trundle-bed-fjellse-1.jpg?fit=550%2C413&ssl=1" data-orig-file="https://i2.wp.com/www.ikeahackers.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/trundle-bed-fjellse-1.jpg?fit=1024%2C768&ssl=1" data-orig-size="1024,768" data-permalink="https://www.ikeahackers.net/2018/03/trundle-bed-fjellse-ikea-hack.html/mde-2" data-recalc-dims="1" height="768" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" src="https://i2.wp.com/www.ikeahackers.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/trundle-bed-fjellse-1.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&ssl=1" srcset="https://i2.wp.com/www.ikeahackers.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/trundle-bed-fjellse-1.jpg?w=1024&ssl=1 1024w, https://i2.wp.com/www.ikeahackers.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/trundle-bed-fjellse-1.jpg?resize=550%2C413&ssl=1 550w, https://i2.wp.com/www.ikeahackers.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/trundle-bed-fjellse-1.jpg?resize=768%2C576&ssl=1 768w" width="1024" /> You’ll need to measure how high the top bed should be from the floor, making space for the trundle and mattress to slide in. Mark the new placement and drill new screw holes for the FJELLSE hardware. Then attach the headboards, one at the bed head and the other at the end. Place the FJELLSE wood slats on the top bunk. Slot in your trundle bed and you’re done. <img alt="Trundle bed from 2 FJELLSE beds | IKEAHackers" class="aligncenter wp-image-72048 size-full" data-attachment-id="72048" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-description="" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"2.2","credit":"","camera":"BLL-L23","caption":"mde","created_timestamp":"1516310685","copyright":"","focal_length":"3.83","iso":"1250","shutter_speed":"0.066663999039654","title":"mde","orientation":"1"}" data-image-title="mde" data-large-file="https://i0.wp.com/www.ikeahackers.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/trundle-bed-fjellse-2.jpg?fit=1024%2C768&ssl=1" data-medium-file="https://i0.wp.com/www.ikeahackers.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/trundle-bed-fjellse-2.jpg?fit=550%2C413&ssl=1" data-orig-file="https://i0.wp.com/www.ikeahackers.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/trundle-bed-fjellse-2.jpg?fit=1024%2C768&ssl=1" data-orig-size="1024,768" data-permalink="https://www.ikeahackers.net/2018/03/trundle-bed-fjellse-ikea-hack.html/mde" data-recalc-dims="1" height="768" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" src="https://i0.wp.com/www.ikeahackers.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/trundle-bed-fjellse-2.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&ssl=1" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/www.ikeahackers.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/trundle-bed-fjellse-2.jpg?w=1024&ssl=1 1024w, https://i0.wp.com/www.ikeahackers.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/trundle-bed-fjellse-2.jpg?resize=550%2C413&ssl=1 550w, https://i0.wp.com/www.ikeahackers.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/trundle-bed-fjellse-2.jpg?resize=768%2C576&ssl=1 768w" width="1024" /> You may want to attach <a href="http://amzn.to/2FCF8wt" target="_blank" rel="noopener">felt furniture sliders</a> to the underside of the trundle bed. ~ by Vanessa <hr /> <h3>You may also like these FJELLSE hacks</h3> #1 FJELLSE beds for outdoor seating <a href="https://www.ikeahackers.net/2012/07/outdoor-sofa-from-fjellse-bed.html"><img alt="Outdoor sofa from FJELLSE bed" class="aligncenter size-full" height="429" src="https://i2.wp.com/ikeahackers.net/wp-content/uploads/blogger/-TxGnHoFV0AE/T_hL7ifs8dI/AAAAAAAAi4E/MFQ2H5IGhSw/s640/1341669602NDSC_0001_2-730337.JPG?zoom=2&w=550" width="640" /></a> Carol was searching for quality outdoor furniture and could not find what she was looking for.
