We orignally planned to make the bunk set, but as we went along decided we didn't need a bunk full-time but wanted the extra sleeping space. Our solution was to make sure there was enough room under the side rails for a trundle. We also attached the side rails on with barrel nuts and bolts to make it easier to get upstairs and take apart for future moving. This was our first time making furniture. Over all, we are happy with the finished product!
Estimated Cost
Around $100 CDN. We had cedar on hand to make the posts. Not sure what that would cost to buy. We couldn't find suitable posts at local hardware or box stores.

Week Long Project (20 Hours or More)
