Thank you for all the diagrams on this website, this project could not have been completed without these. The entire project took a month worth of weekends. I used 2 sheets of 3/4" Birch plywood, 2x12x10 Southern Yellow Pine (rip to 4" strips), and 1x8x10 Ponderosa Pine for the roof and slats. Our 3 year old loves the bed and could not wait to use it. All month he has been asking about his new room, normally he does not like change but he loved this bed.
Estimated Time Investment
Week Long Project (20 Hours or More)
Finish Used
Behr Marquee paint. 4 Quarts; 2 for the main color, 1 for the roof, and 1 for the plywood.
