Install Bed Slats and Loft Subfloor
At 7:00 in
I Built A Luxury Playhouse Bunk Bed
What happens here
Begin by installing the horizontal bed slats (thinner wood strips) across the lower bed frame, securing them with screws to create a stable base for the mattress. For the upper level, use an OSB (Oriented Strand Board) sheet as the subfloor. Transport the OSB sheet to an outdoor workspace and use a track saw (e.g., Milescraft Track Saw Guide with Ryobi Circular Saw) to cut it to the exact dimensions of the upper frame. The track saw ensures straight and accurate cuts. Carefully lift and place the cut OSB subfloor onto the upper frame, securing it with screws.
Goal: Install horizontal bed slats for the lower bed mattress support and a structural OSB subfloor for the upper play area. Use a track saw for precise cuts on the OSB to ensure a sturdy and level surface.
