The first step is to measure your existing bed frame. This will help you determine where you need reinforcement. You will need to know the width and length of the mattress.
Next, cut out the areas that need reinforcing, buy some wood glue and apply it to the joints where the two pieces meet. Once the glue dries, screw the new boards onto the old ones.
You may want to use wood filler to fill any gaps between the boards. Once you have reinforced the area, sand down the surface until smooth.
Finally, apply two coats of paint to protect the new wood and give a decorative look.
