Bunk bed for children

The main thing is to set

tasks accurately. Decide what you want, if a quality product, then you need to understand that you need to pay for quality. Cheapness is evidence of the presence of large numbers.
Manufacturing by your own hands should provide for the product to withstand both the adult and the child. Since its stability is a key requirement in the manufacture.
Some builders make beds even with three tiers, which in itself is nonsense, which can bear unpleasant consequences in the form of children's falls.

What should I consider when designing?

1. The location of the bed.
2. Where and how will the ladder be placed on the second tier.

Below, pay attention to the scheme, which indicates the constituent elements of the bed, their size and principle of location.

The only important point in the installation is that it is necessary that the size of the bed is 8 cm more than the sleeping place, and the width - 10 cm more.

To the dimensions of the ladder it is necessary to add another 4.5 cm. To make the bunk bed functionally normal, it is necessary to take into account the height of the ceiling, which afterwards will indicate the functional directions of the second tier. As is known, the second level has a temperature several times higher than on the other area of ​​the room. In this place, children can arrange a recreation area, but this is provided that the level will not be very high.

The distance between the frame of the first and the second tier of a two-tiered children's bed should be such that if on the first tier the adult was sitting, he did not beat his head against the frame of the second floor.

Directly the lower tier would be well done with special closets for storage of children's underwear. Calculate the size of the tiers is based on the height of the ceiling of 2, 5 meters, the thickness of the mattress is 20 cm, the size of the mattress is 1.8 meters by 80 cm.

Materials for the manufacture of

It is recommended to use environmental materials to create a baby bed, for example, it may be oakor pine. But there is no certainty that you will be able to find board size 18x140 mm, 40x80 mm, 40x140 mm. And the details that need to be performed can also be performed incorrectly and not accurately. In this case, a specialist's hand is needed, since working with wood requires special skills and knowledge, texture and properties of a particular tree.

Therefore, if you replace a tree with a chipboard, then all the necessary processes for the tree, such as chopping, framing, etc.are much easier and faster. You will only need to paste the treated edges on the chipboard spills.

Although it will be inferior to the strength of the wooden product.

The base of the product should be created from 2 sheets of plywood 90 cm by 1.8 m by 9 mm, composite parts - 3 pipes of steel and PVC coatings, fasteners - screws 3,5 to 40 mm, plug and glue.

Before using the boards, they should be left indoors for about a week, so that they become the same temperature with the room where the product will stand. This will save you from the fact that the boards are not warped.

Wooden parts require processing, special grinding, painting and other. This requires good equipment and tools: a drill, a saw, a hacksaw, a level, a tape measure, a milling device for smoothing uneven surfaces, a magnet or a wiring detector.

It's an interesting fact that a two-level cot with its own hands made of particleboard material has a weight 2-3 times more than a product made of wood. Another chipboard bed is cheaper in 4 - 8 times.

Process for making a bunk bed

1. Measuring the mattress. It is worth adding to each side for 2-3 cm for the convenience of filling laundry.
2. Dimensions of 5-10 cm can be fastened with screws, which makes it possible to create two frames.

1. To the end of the frame, you need to mount a board measuring 1.5 m by 2 cm. On the second frame it is necessary to fasten the board( border) already 2 m in size to 2 mm.
2. Manufacture of legs. Often, the size of the legs is 25 mm by 10 cm. To have the end face L, it is necessary to fix it with screws, then with putty. The length of the leg should be the same with the height of the fence, which is on the second tier.

1. You will need an assistant! Fastening of skirting boards, drilling of grooves, screws require additional hands.
2. Determine the location of profiles. Mark the location for drilling. The frame will need to be pressed, leveled and drilled to the wall. It is necessary to screw 6-faced screws, so take care of a good thin drill. A lower frame is also attached.
3. Two-level cot with your own hands requires fencing for the safety of your children. Mounted on vertical racks measuring 5 by 10 cm. Screws are screwed from the inside, and also leave space for the stairs.

1. The ladder installation is carried out by fastening two bars, which protrude and the exit guides. Long bolts attach the upper steps and a ladder to the bed.
2. Installation of plywood sheets. They are fastened with screws and bolts along the entire frame. Because of this, it can be easily dismantled again and installed somewhere else.
3. So that the coating does not give glare and looks natural, it should be painted with a matte varnish, which will make the appearance even more beautiful.

Follow the step by step instructions and the result will not keep you waiting long!
