Are there no studs in the wall? It looks like the frame is only screwed into the wall paneling. Suggestions for making a durable repair? Are there any wall anchors that won't just make a bigger hole in the paneling? I need to pull up the bottom of the storage area to be sure, but I think one of the rollers is frozen, possibly jammed with carpet fibers. Has anyone put down some sort of track for the rollers to ride on?
Glue and screw a 1”x 3” header board to the outside wall. Liquid nails and screws located wherever the is a vertical stud will make a permanent repair. 3/4” thickness of the header board shouldn’t make a difference in the length of the bed foundation.
