playhouse loft bed

I started with the castle bed idea and it eventually evolved into this. It was very simple construction. I basically built 3 wall panels and screwed them together. I used 1x8 for the wall paneling. Then I attached 2x4 horizontally to the studs on the wall and the wall panels to support the plywood I put down to hold their mattresses. It's been a big hit. I added a doorbell and a mailbox, too.

Estimated Cost
$600

I've showed my kids every single bed plan and brag on here and yours is the only one they both agree on! So it looks like I'll be busy for a while!

I am looking to build a modified version of your awesome bed/playhouse! I have 2 kids, and will essentially be making a duplex. Is there any chance you have schematics? Thank you!
