November 28, 201510 yr Was down at my Daughter's place for Turkey (burp) Day. Brought the better camera..at least it is better than the phone's I'm standing out in the hallway, to get this one. This is where the six yr old climbs into bed. 2x6s are about a foot apart...not a whole lot of room in there... Details of the corner posts, with the joinery, such as it is. The two lag screws hold the bed rail assembly in place. They have a sheet wrapped around the rail. There are a pair of pallets lagged into the rails, and that is what the box spring and mattress rest on. There is a "keeper rail" to keep the grandBRAT from rolling out of the bed. Rail is screwed in place, and he can grab onto it to help him get into bed.. Left the other end of the rail a bit long, so they can hang items on it. His older brother simply rolled his bed under the Loft bed. There just wasn't enough room in here for two seperate beds. Maybe $80 for materials? Just some Menards Pine boards....Lowes wanted way too much for their boards...

November 28, 201510 yr Must be the time to build lofts Steve. I just started the first of two for my grand daughters. Under the loft I'm going to put shelving on one end and a desk along the back. Both will be identical to minimize the bickerng between the sisters.
