I would like to construct this with the slats a bit closer together- and then add an additional slat. Is that possible, or is the slat position fixed?

Slat position is fixed since they fit into grooves in the frame. But if you're handy with wood, you could probably figure something out.

It would be a lot of work. Each slat rests on the side frame. One wider long piece of wood under it and then a second piece on top of that (narrower) with a niche carved out to position each slat. It would be easier to simply add a few extra slats.

I think you may have to measure it, and put your own size to it, but I think it should work, my husband looked at it, and says you should be able to figure it out

You can add 11 wooden furring strips between the slats provided. They can be purchased at Home Depot or Lowes for about a $1.15 each.You will have to cut each to 56 5/8 inches as the furring is 96 inches long. Space between slats is reduced to 1 1/2 inches between them.You'll also have to provide the extra screws and be sure to drill pilot holes first.

Shouldn't be too difficult. Although I just folded a couple of sides onto each other. This way all panels are still connected yet it is quite a bit smaller. And when moved outside, no muss, no fuss all sides are still connected. EZ PZ.

I put the two twin beds together because I wanted the flexibility of two beds or one bed and used the SGT Knots to hold them together. The main thing you have to make sure of is that the twin bed slats are of equal size. Mine were not so when I put them together one side of the bed was lower by about an inch.

You probably could if you are handy at carpentry. The four corners are interlocking. At times they become unlatched and have to be reset. If you could fuse all the corners prior to stacking and reinforce the sides and ends I am sure it would be possible.

I put two together for that exact reason. and it worked ok. The biggest issue is the side panels are not really strong and they tend to be too floppy if you add too many panels. Putting two together worked for me, but I would hesitate to try putting more together. I ended up putting 2 concrete blocks on the outside of the "pen" (spaced out) and tied the panels to them to make them more sturdy. I still have the panels and have used them 4 times, so far. I have been very pleased with the panels.

We have ours over a piece of plywood which works well but i think wooden slats would be just fine if, as one of the reviewers said, they are fairly close together.

There are no slats with this design. On the inside of the bed there are a couple crossmembers & supports for 2 big sheets of PDF board that support the mattress. I've had no sagging or issues with mine at all.

I put a low profile box spring with my memory foam but If you add additional slats I'm sure it would be fine

Maybe - one issue I had with the slats is that they moved around on my wood framed bed so I used screws to fix their position. On a standard metal frame, it depends on how well the slats fit horizontally across the bed frame. If it's snug, you might get by without fixing the slats in place; otherwise, epoxy might be necessary to hold them in place.

As long as you already have the wood slats, I don't see a problem. I don't know what size your bed is but be forewarned that you'll need equal room to assemble the Dynasty Mattress box foundation. I live in a tiny apartment and had to assemble mine (twin size) in the kitchen. Maybe you can figure out a way to do it on top of the bed.

I'm not sure about putting it together like that. You would lose some stability because there would be nothing to keep the posts in place. Don't think that would work.

The slats are 2-1/4 ins wide and the gap between slats is 4-1/4 ins approx. The slats are connected with a couple of fabric tapes, I think this is to make laying them out easier, rather than for anything structural. If you cut the tapes you can probably put the slats any distance apart you want. I think only three or so of the slats are screwed to the frame, the tape keeps the other slats in place, again you can screw them in wherever you want, I followed the assembly instructions. The slats are standard wood, you can probably get more 'slats' at a DIY store. I see one person said 2 ins apart, I took the mattress off and measured mine, they were 4-1/4 ins approx.

The slats are adjustable. You slide them on the end and space them as far apart as needed.

I added my box spring for height, however the slats are close together I imagine that if the foam mattress is thick enough it would be fine.

Yes, that's what we did. I do recommend that you get additional slats for better support. The few that it comes with really are not sufficient.

It has an accordion type technique to it. With some skill you could probably add some slats.

Loop them through and velcro the back pieces together. They are a little short for one of the slats and too large for the other so I just fit them where it was comfortable to sit on and they look great. Mine are higher up that the ones in the pic.
