If you want something for longer than 75 years maybe this isn't the way to go. I noticed the frame rivets made dimples in the wood which prevented any shifting around when the 18" long clamps were tightened down. A photo showing the beam and long U-bolts. All bed wood was made by a local saw mill from trees in the Red River bottom. If you zoom in you can see the beams and U-bolts: []( https://postimg.cc/p9w7p3YH) []( https://postimg.cc/9R3mC8D4)
