<p>Hi Mike,</p>
<p>Thanks for posting a photo.</p>

<p>Here's what I'd do, to make it simple and yet effective.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Make an "L" shaped structure, to cover the opening.</p>
<p>A horizontal member and a verticle member.</p>
<p>Leg size "L" shape to accommodate the opening.</p>
<p>So when it's in the closed position, there are no visible openings.</p>

<p>Hi Mike,</p>
<p>Thanks for posting a photo.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Here's what I'd do, to make it simple and yet effective.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Make an "L" shaped structure, to cover the opening.</p>
<p>A horizontal member and a verticle member.</p>
<p>Leg size "L" shape to accommodate the opening.</p>
<p>So when it's in the closed position, there are no visible openings.</p>
<p>Make from 3/4" material and of suitable length to accommodate the bed frame.</p>
<p>Use solid wood NOT plywood.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Secure the verticle member to the horizontal, at the rear, with the vertical member resting on top of the horizontal member.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Screws: #8 1-1/2" flat head wood screws. </p>
<p>The screws will enter the horizontal member, from the underside, and into the verticle member.</p>
<p>The joined members at the rear to be flush.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Locate the screws 2'' in from each end, and additional screws spaced at 6" apart.</p>
<p>The 3/4" horizontal member to rest on the frame of the bed.</p>
<p>The vertical member to rest against the vertical section of the bed frame, when in the closed position.</p>
<p>The width of the horizontal and vertical members to facilitate the opening.</p>
<p>Use 3-1/2" brass hinges, to provide the pivoting action.</p>
<p>One leaf of the hinge to be mortised into the underside of the horizontal member. and</p>
<p>the other leaf to be mortised into the top side of the frame of the bed.</p>
<p></p>
<p>The hinge will allow pivoting of the "L" shaped structure, so as to gain access to the area, where your power cords and plugs are located.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Use 2 such hinges---each located 8" from each end.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Select hinges with removable pins. Removal pins will allow removal of the "L" shaped object, when it has to disassemble/assemble at a later date.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Make a cross-section model, an "L" shape about piece 10" long, from cardboard or poster board material,</p>
<p>before cutting and making the final project pieces. </p>
<p>Bend or form the cardboard material to make the "L".</p>
<p>Make the leg lengths to facilitate the structure.</p>
<p>Place this cardboard model on the bed frame---</p>
<p>use making tape to fasten one leg of the "L" to the bed frame.</p>
<p>Pivot the model so as to get a visual of what you want to accomplish, and as described above.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Add and access opening (hand grip) in the vertical member of the "L" shaped object.</p>
<p>An elongated hole 1-1/4" wide x 6" long, centered and 2" down form the top.</p>
<p>This hole will provide hand gripping the hinged "L" shaped member to open and close the opening, to gain behind your bed. </p>
<p></p>
<p>With this design/construction you won't have any visible screws, when the unit is in the closed position.</p>
<p></p>
<p>If you should need any additional info, please do not hesitate to contact me.</p>

Whether you use pocket screws or something else, hide them with plugs painted or stained to match the piece.
