Bunk Bed Build #9: The Finale: Railings, Ladder and Stacking

Nice build. Looks like you could park a mack truck on those mattress slats … lol. I guess when your kids leave you’re planning to use it to sleep.

This has been a great blog and the end product is superbly done. I see the boys are really happy with their new beds.

Great work Mauricio. Your sons will have great memories of the years they shared the bunk beds built by their dad.

Outstanding Maur, your sons are going to have a blast in that bed. The only problem I see is who gets it for their kids later on? May have to make a second!

Nice job Mauricio. I can only imagine the dare devil tricks that will be forthcoming. Looks great.

Very professional looking, and the kids look pleased too.

Looks like the boys love it buddy. Job well done and extra dad points have been awarded for this project.

Man, your kids are cute….Oh, beds look good, too! Off topic- Did you purposely get the open mouth router and do you prefer it to the closed mouth?....Wes

Thanks for following along folks, I appreciate the support.

So far the kids love it and no one has fallen off, yet…. I hope that doesn’t happen, lol.

Wes, Thanks!, This one (Stanley #71) has the shoe that closes the mouth but I have never used it with the mouth open, not yet. I like that I have the option to use it either way.

Awesome blog! I just found it…so I read through the whole thing right now. Beautiful bed, thanks for sharing!

Mauricio, I’m curious as to why three railings…maybe there’s a poltergeist or opening to the twilight zone and you don’t want to lose a kid in the wall?................Wes

Glad you found it entertaining Jaysonic, and thanks for commenting.

Wes, because of the way I designed these beds there was about about 1.5” of “reveal between the long stretchers and the outside edge of the bed posts. That plus the space crated by the shoe molding made for about a 2” space between the bed and the wall Enough for a kid to wedge a body part in there (a design flaw) . So to compensate I needed two railings on the wall side plus one on the outside of the top bunk. Hope that makes sense.

Loved all the glamor shots.
And the boys look great to.
