Link doesn't work for me but I googled it and I think I know what you're talking about, this was the other option to drilling and screwing. Something like this here

Don't have a miter saw unfortunately. We're somewhat limited with what tools we have.

We've already made the bed, just got stuck at this part. We'll probably go with that option for now.

If I can skip the prep and glue then I can do one long screw. I found some 150mm ones I could buy, otherwise I found some cheap small brackets too. So I'm leaning most towards that or a single bracket on the back. They don't have to hold 100kgs. But I don't want them to come off if there's weight leaning back on them.

Yeah, I think going across the wood with the nails I have, plus into the smaller cube pieces would probably not be ideal for them, but I don't know. Yeah I just have to weigh up the costs and effort of doing that + buying the long screws vs buying some brackets and using screws I already have.

But it's going into the side of it and it's also then going into a smaller cubed piece of wood.

I did come across these when searching but I'm really trying for the cheapest and most simple options at the moment and I would have to buy some sort of pocket screw rig to make it work. It's just the head of the bed but it will had pressure on it (from pillows and sleeping up right sometimes for asthma). Someone else suggested that too which I didn't consider, if I mount it on the backsides that's where the pressure will be going so it might make sense. I drew a diagram for how I planed to use the bracket here.

I figured nails would split the wood? And I would need some very long screws for screws. I didn't consider a flat bracket oddly enough, that might not be such a bad idea!

Wouldn't it just split the wood?

Movement is fine, so long as it doesn't come apart. We're definitely not going for perfect, or even good looking, we just need functional.
