Has anyone ever built a double-bed size loft?

3po3 on Jun 26, 2012To me, it sounds dangerous, not weird. Perhaps I'm not understanding what you are suggesting, but just stacking beds that aren't designed as bunk beds sounds pretty dicey. I know in college a lot of people built (or more likely, had their dads build) lofts in their dorm rooms to clear out floor space. But they framed out loft spaces with thick plywood and thick lumber, then just put mattresses on top. Not sure if that helps. Here is a plan for building an actual loft for a kids' room: http://www.hgtv.com/decorating/how-to-build-a-loft-bed/index.htmlHelpful Reply
