I Built A Futuristic Loft Bed For My Kids

What happens here

With the main upper bunk frame established, the next step involves building and installing the side wall frame of the bed. This frame is constructed to incorporate specific design elements for the 'Tron'-like aesthetic and will also serve as a mounting point for various features. The frame is positioned to fit snugly against the wall and the main bed structure. Once in place, the builder cuts the existing baseboard to allow the new frame to sit flush against the floor.

Goal: Integrate the side wall structure into the bunk bed design

Tools and materials

  • 2x4 Lumber — Constructing the side wall frame
  • Cordless Drill Ryobi — Assembling the frame and securing it
  • Jigsaw/Multi-tool Ryobi — Cutting the existing baseboard for a flush fit
  • Level — Ensuring the frame is level and plumb
  • Wood Screws/Nails — Fastening frame components

>> It's crazy how building a bed is quickly turning into like framing a house. We got a wall right here. Not quite 16 on center, but we don't need it to be that over built. Going to cut into the trim baseboard, and this should fit snug as a bug on a rug. 67 and 1/2. I built this at 68. [music] I'm half an inch too big, and I don't have a whole lot of wiggle room. And these are nails. They're not screws. It's not like I can just [music] pop it off without wasting the material. I hate this.
