What happens here

Since the shiplap will be installed vertically, horizontal backing is needed for proper attachment. Cut 1x2 furring strips to fit horizontally across the interior walls of the bunk bed frame. Secure these 1x2s to the existing wall studs using screws or framing nails. Ensure there are strips at the top, bottom, and several intermediate points to provide ample support and a level base for the shiplap panels.

Goal: Install horizontal furring strips (1x2s) around the interior perimeter of the bunk bed walls to provide a solid base for vertical shiplap panels.

Tools and materials

  • Cordless drill
  • Framing nailer
  • Miter saw
  • 1x2 Furring strips
  • Screws/framing nails
