DIY Twin Built-in Bunk Bed For Kids

What happens here

Measure the width of the bunk bed frames and cut plywood strips to serve as mattress slats. Place the slats across the 2x2 ledges, spacing them evenly. Secure each slat to the ledges using 1.25-inch screws. For the LED lighting, attach LED strip lights around the perimeter of the interior bunk spaces. Secure the power source and module to the bed frame using mounting strips or clips, ensuring cables are neatly tucked away and do not interfere with the drawer. Test the lights to ensure they function correctly.

Goal: Place and secure the mattress slats onto the ledges and install LED strip lights for ambiance and functionality.

[Music] for the box frame i needed only one sheet of half inch maple plywood i ripped it into five inch strips on my table saw rounded over the edges with a palm router and secured them using one and a quarter inch screws onto the two by twos that i installed earlier all right since the paint is all dry before i start installing the drawers and mattresses and the doors i wanted to keep this open so i'm going to surprise my kids by installing some led lights around this thing so hopefully they'll like it because the power source and the module will be under the bed i didn't want the drawer to get in the way when it's open and closed so i used these mounting strips from the original super glue to secure both the ac power converter and the led module to the bed frame suspending it over the drawer and keeping the cables out of the way
