I have built a large loft bed for my kids and the total material cost added up to just £100.
Required material and prices are shown at the end of the video.
The video is only for informational or idea purposes and I strongly advise not to copy and build the same furniture due to high risk of serious harm and damage, for which I hold no responsibility. I advise to have it built by a professional carpenter or builder.

Awesome build and video brother! Those kids are blessed to have a dad like you. I'm sure they love it, and it can also serve as an indoor treehouse, lookout tower, army base, etc. you know?! I'm 41 and would climb up there in a second with a plastic M-16 if my cousins were visiting and a battle broke out....lol them days! We never grow up at heart. Thanks and God bless u my friend.

@PhotonHerald 7 лет назад

The only thing I'd be wary about. All the framing you're doing you're putting a single screw in every where timber meets timber. No double-screwing or glue-and-screw or joins of any sort. So you're relying on the shear-strength of single screws in some places where you'd REALLY want to make sure nothing breaks loose (like the step ladder). As taking the whole platform apart isn't feasible this is what I'd do. For those cross-braces on the platform itself, go back in and put an additional screw on each side. For the step ladder, just to be REALLY safe, pull it down. get yourself a bottle of decent construction adhesive or at least wood glue. Pull each step out one at a time. Dab the ends with glue and double-screw them back into the stringer. Then remount the step ladder (again, glue and double-screw). Sure, it'll cost you a little extra in materials, but it'll result in a MUCH more durable (and safer) project in the end. Also, OSB isn't exactly the greatest material to walk (or crawl) on. And you can get splinters. Consider half-inch sanded plywood instead or overlay it with some cheap hardboard panels for a nice smooth surface. Or you could just go with cheap rugs and stuff.

@BenjisTwoChitz 7 лет назад

I personally don't think glue will help in anyway, I mean, I built a shelf by just using screws and nails to hold the woods together, I can put 8 tires on the shelf and the shelf will not collapse. I sometimes don't really get why people would put glue on woods....

@altpath 7 лет назад

Benjamin Cheng wood glue is stronger than nails or screws. any experienced wood worker will tell you that.

@BenjisTwoChitz 7 лет назад

Can I ask where did you get the wood and was it pre cut ?? Can it be bought precut I don’t own all the fancy tools needed for the job

@geekwise 9 месяцев назад

I got the wood from build yard, but it was not pre-cut. I think you would need the saw to cut them to your preferred size. Or you could ask to get them cut at B&Q. They do cuts for a small fee.

You can pause the video and write down or take a picture of it. For my main tools I have used a circular saw and a good quality cordless drill. You can see short videos of unboxing those tools by clicking these links: Cordless combi dril: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Sn4FNhjtv2M.html Compound mitre saw: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4sQYx4EvWoc.html

Nice. If you preferred you could just counter sink the horizontal lumber and screwed into the wall studs with 3" screws. instead of the short support boards.

@geekwise 6 лет назад

The bed has been up over 18 months now in daily use by teenagers and sometimes adults when guests stay overnight - and so far it's perfectly fine with no squeaking, shaking or any other safety concerns experienced. So I am sure it will hold 220lb or more but of course I can't give any guarantees in any case.
