Bunk bed with your own hands. Just about the complex

A two-level bed with your own hands is a task that everyone can do. For self-production requires material, tools, diligence and, of course, desire. The need for material components is obvious, but we must not forget that without a proper moral attitude, it will not be possible to get a qualitative result.

Similar sleeping structures are most often used to save space. The most widespread they got in children's rooms. A bunk bed is well suited for rooms with a small area. Although often they can be found in rooms with a large area. This is due to the fact that such furniture looks original. It is not necessary that it be designed for two children. It can be designed for one child. In this case, the lower zone of such furniture can perform other functions. For example, a table or cabinet.

A bunk bed can be bought in almost any furniture store. But the price of such a product for many can be overwhelming. In this case, you just need to walk through the trading halls and notice the most liked model. And then proceed to the independent manufacture of furniture. A two-level bed, created by oneself, can turn out not worse than store copies, and in some cases even better. In addition, the price of an independently manufactured product will be an order of magnitude lower.

Calculation of dimensions

Begin the manufacture of furniture should be with the definition of the size of the future design. Do not forget that, first of all, a bunk bed, assembled with your own hands, is a functional product, not an ornamental one. And this means that its exploitation should not cause any discomfort.

Calculation of the overall dimensions should begin with the definition of the place where the bed is planned to be placed. After this, it is necessary to determine the side from which there will be a vertical ladder for ascent to the second level. This information allows you to determine the size of future beds.

The next step is to calculate the height of the bed and the inter-tier space. Do not neglect this issue, because it largely depends on the ease of operation. The distance between the upper and lower tiers should be such as to allow the adult to sit on the lower shelf. Also, you should not overlook such a parameter as the height of the top location. It should be arranged so that children can not only sleep on it, but also have a little fun. For example, to jump. In addition, the closer the bed is to the ceiling, the more stuffy the atmosphere will be there.

What will you need?

For work you will need:

• Bruski 50 x 100 mm, 50 x 50 mm, 30 x 30 mm;
• Boards 25 x 200 mm;
• Screwdriver;
• Screws and screws.

Making a bed with your own hands

1. Before proceeding with the design and assembly of furniture, the material should be allowed to lie in the room for at least a week. Also, all the lumber should be carefully treated with sandpaper, resulting in a smooth surface.
2. Self-manufacturing should begin with the removal of the size of the mattresses that are planned to be used. To the received data it is necessary to add centimeter on two from each party. So you can get the dimensions of the frame.
3. Next, you should assemble the frames in accordance with the parameters defined in the previous step. Beams 50 x 100 mm should be connected with screws.
4. The next step is to assemble the bed frame. For this, the frame needs to be attached to four posts made of 50 x 50 bars.
5. The resulting construction will already be stable. Next you need to make bottoms. To do this, along the entire perimeter of the fixed frames on the inside should be bolted bars 30 x 30 mm. They should be aligned on the bottom edge. Then they should be laid on boards 25 x 200 mm, between which you can leave a gap of 50 to 100 mm.
6. You should also take care of the fence. For this, you can use 50 x 50 mm blocks, which should be screwed with screws and screwdrivers to vertical posts. Here is almost finished bunk bed with their own hands.
7. The last step is to make a ladder. To do this, fit blocks 50 x 50.
8. This is how the base is made, which is already suitable for full operation. If you put a little ingenuity and imagination into action, then from it you can make bunk beds for children , which perfectly fit into any interior. For this, you can use and laminated hardboard, and chrome tubes, and much more.
