Bunk beds

nice job.
any photos of the construction?
how are you keeping the top part from sliding off the bottom section?

Very very nice bed - great design and beautifully done!

Paul - I used 3/8"x2" steel pins (from Rockler) in each post. Sorry no construction photos.

Just 2".That means 1" into each half. What if the kids start kicking from the bottom? Might want to lock that together some how.
Good Luck

Very nice and from the looks on their face I would say that they are a hit with the girls. Cheers

Hey I recognize that. I see that you improved on my design. Very well I might add. In hindsight I too would of made the ladder angle out like you did. The difference is that to connect the two beds together I used two 1/2" x 2" bolts slightly offset 1/8" from center line to create tension for each leg. The tension works great as my kids have put them through the jump test. And at my wife's request i replaced the short side rail with one that extends from the end of the bed to the ladder as you have done. Very good indeed.

very nice bed I like the design of it. It looks like your grand daughters are happy with it which is what counts.

You did very well on your first large project!

Nicely done, they will pass it on to their kids too!
