Modified junior loft bed

Submitted by rfjjd on Thu, 07/20/2017 - 19:32

Modifications to Ana's original plan:

  • 4x4 posts instead of 2x4. 
  • Crossbars attached to 4x4s with biscuits and pocket holes for added strength. 
  • Modular build for easy disassembly, moving, and reassembly: 2x6 and 2x4 rails attached to end assemblies with knock-down bed hardware. Deck hung on 4x4 posts with angle iron. Bed breaks down easily into separate components (stairs, deck, 2 large end assemblies, 6 rails, slats and plywood mattress support).
