Building Your First Bunk Bed: What You Need To Know
Let me tell you my story… A few years ago I wanted to build a high quality, long lasting bunk bed for my two young boys. Since I recently lost my job, our family had almost no money to buy new furniture. Our dwindling funds went toward paying the mortgage, putting food on the table, and keep clothes on our backs. When I told my wife that I was going to build a new piece of furniture for the boys, she thought I was crazy. Rightfully so, she was confused and a little upset. "How can you build a loft bed, when you can't make even minor fixes around the house. I'm sorry to tell you this but you're not really a handy man," said my wife. She was right. I should have avoided the thought completely. But, desperate times call for desperate measures, I thought. Our boys needed new beds and I would feel even more like a failure if I couldn't even give them a place to sleep. So, I set out on learning the basics of building wooden furniture. To my surprise, the entire process didn't take me that long. To my surprise (and the surprise of my wife and kids) I built a beautiful, safe new loft bed. The truth is, I have a secret to my success…. I used pre-designed, professional made bunk bed plans. They truly helped me finish the job with no injuries, headaches, or wasted hours. If you're planning on building anything out of wood, especially a bunk bed, I cannot tell you how valuable having good designs are. When you have a plan for what you're doing, regardless of your skill level, your journey will be much smoother, and even more fun.
