bedroomwood
I'm moving to a new house, and on a broke budget. I found this bed design online.
I'd like to do this from scratch and perhaps use wooden palettes for the main structure (adding supplemental wood for the legs, seams, etc.). Any ideas on how to really do that? Sorry for the vagueness, this is completely out of my territory.
The frame is squeaking because two pieces of wood are rubbing against eachother. The first thing I would do is start tightening any screws, nuts and bolts on the bed frame. If this does not improve it you will need to locate where the squeak is coming from and determine if you can do something to hold the two components together better, such as driving a screw through the affected area.
It may be that the frame was originally designed to have slats span the rails, and not have the mattress (box spring) sit directly on the rails. This would have lifted the mattress up a bit, and possibly allowed it to ride over the bits that are giving you trouble.
This was one persons solution:

Believe it or not, there is an entire Pinterest page dedicated to beds made out of pallets. There are no instructions, but plenty of designs in addition to your IKEA model that you can use for inspiration. Some involve simply stacking the pallets in various configurations, but several of them are quite stylish and it's pretty easy to see how they disassembled some pallets and screwed them back together to make a nice frame.
Have a look!
