I Built A Gaming Bunk Bed For My Kids

What happens here

Apply wood glue to the ends of the horizontal 2x6 supports. Attach these supports to the vertical 2x4 posts using pocket screws driven into the pre-drilled pocket holes. Ensure that the supports are level and at the correct height for the lower and upper bunks. This creates the main framework for where the mattresses will sit.

Goal: Attach the horizontal 2x6 supports to the vertical posts using wood glue and pocket screws, forming the foundational bed frames.

Tools and materials

  • Cordless Drill

different approach this time so i'm going to leave about 12 inches at the bottom for the lower guest um trundle mattress section then from that point on i'm going to split the difference here these are nine foot tall ceilings leaving 44 inches probably down the middle from the lowest bunk to the top bunk [Music] when it comes to building anything don't matter if it screws it could never hurt putting wood balloon there the fact is preferred [Music] okay originally i was gonna keep the studs and the stretchers as is but then i started thinking by the time we start wrapping it with mdf or plywood or whatever it is the less step downs that we have in these corners the easier to wrap this thing will be on the sides here we're going to put a couple of more pieces of you know two by six in order to fill it in and because this is three and a half inches we'll have to use one two you know two by six plus another half inch to make this width [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause]
