Designing a custom dog bed: a simple DIY
When it comes to making your furry friend’s bed, one size does not fit all. DIY materials like tinktube let you easily design a custom dog bed that matches your pet’s personality and preferences. For example, a small dog would climb more easily into its bed if it were on a lower level, near the floor, while a medium size dog or cat might want a bed that’s a little more elevated. Our steel tubes and connectors make it easy to create a unique and personalized dog bed project. Forget about traditional wood glue and screws – with tinktube, all you need are our tubes and connectors for a sturdy, reliable structure. Make a new bed for your favorite pet in just a few hours!
1. What materials and tools do you need?
We’re all about keeping things simple at tinktube. For your DIY dog bed, you’ll need our pipes and fittings to create the bed frame. Leave the wood glue and screws in the toolbox – with us, it’s all about using tubes and connectors to piece together a robust and durable structure. Check out the lists below to better understand the materials and tools you’ll need and where to get them!

Scrap wood could be your DIY dog bed’s best friend! You can use it to construct a platform that sits on the tinktube frame, then fix it to the frame for safety. You can paint your pet bed to make the wooden surface the same color as the tubes, or use a net if you prefer a smoother surface.
Sew dog bed or no-sew dog bed: a question that’s worth $100
