Re: Buy a Wood Bed Kit or Make one

The other thing about doing it yourself is you get to pick which wood you would like to use. If you get a kit you usually just get a choice of Yellow Pine or Red Oak and Red Oak is not a good outdoor wood. This is my stepside bed I did with Birch. I paid $175 for the wood at Home Depot at the time and it would cost that much for a Yellow Pine kit which I did order but sent back because it was ugly.
