I was just going to buy one but I think it would be more fun to make it. I’m not like y’all using everything from chainsaws to little paint brushes. I believe I would like a full size with a place for my fir babies to rest under it. I don’t want to feel like there are spiders underneath. Hate spiders. Thank you,

Get some pallets use then
m stacked for the base then paint them you would need to measure and cut them to fit your mattress then paint them and add mattress on top or even a bed skirt .
Got news for you, if it is on a screened porch, there will be spiders. To deter them, use cotton balls soaked in peppermint oil and place strategically where your pets can't get to them. See if these help you.

Some excellent ideas but takes a couple of minutes to load:

Have you thought of a swing bed using a twin bed size mattress? I think you build a platform for the mattress and hang it by rope or chain from your ceiling. The only problem with a bed on a screened in porch is rain coming in.
All great ideas and suggestions. Thank you.
