The choice of furniture for the children's room sometimes requires even more attention than the sets for the living room or bedroom of the parents. Unlike parents, children have only a children's room for self-expression and relaxation in an apartment or house. And the arrangement of the children's room depends on how comfortable the child will be there. At the same time, the decoration of the room can be modest, made using extraordinary decorative elements. But only the presence of original and high-quality furniture can make a truly original and cozy children's room. ("Children's room with a fabulous pirate ship", "Bunk beds in the interior of children's rooms." . ").

Sets of children's furniture are very different, and this diversity has been written more than once in the articles of this site. The text of this article will present photos of various designs of bunk beds and how they are made. Bunk beds have long ceased to be solely the function of a bed. Having gone from the simplest models to complex ones, in the form of houses with slides, wardrobes and elements of sports corners, such models began to increasingly take their place in children's rooms. With the help of unusual bed designs, you can organize a whole mini city and use it not only for sleeping, but also for studying, gymnastics and playing with friends.

2. Making a bunk bed.

Even the most incredible models of bunk beds are based on the ability to make the simplest design. Having an idea of ​​​​how to make its elements and assemble them into one whole in the future, studying interesting options, it will be possible to recreate even the most fantastic houses - beds. ("We are building a podium. photo in the interior", "Children's bed podium with a bookcase"). (Fig. 6)

* The first stage is the creation of a sketch, the calculation of estimates and the preparation of materials with tools.

Making a bed, having its drawing with dimensions in hand, will be much easier. It is impossible to assemble a bed in one day and therefore it is especially important to fix all the details on paper. . (Fig. 8, 9)

In addition, drawing everything and making calculations, it becomes possible to supplement the design of the bed with interesting elements.

So, to make a bed, you will need the following set of tools:

Measuring tools (tape measure, level, metal square, pencil or marker);

Chisel, saws;

Grinding devices (grinders, sandpaper);

Screwdriver and drill;

A set of screwdrivers, pliers, a hammer;

Stainless steel bolts, washers with plugs, similar nails, a set of drills;

Carpenter's glue, paints and varnishes and painting tools. ("Painting tools, brushes, rollers", "Carpentry tools", "Drill and screwdriver", "Grinding power tools", "Jig saws, reciprocating saws, planers, milling machines").

Focusing on the size of the bed (height - 1.48 m, length - 2.065 m, width - 0.9 m, height from the floor to the first crossbar - tier - 23 cm, height from the lower to the upper tier is 850 mm) it is necessary to prepare from the materials following:

For racks, you will need bars with a cross section of 50 mm * 50 mm and a length of 1.48 m in the amount of 4 pieces.

The side walls are made of boards 100 mm * 25 mm in size and, accordingly, also in the amount of 4 pieces and 2065 mm long.

For transverse screeds, boards with a size of 100 mm * 25 mm are best - 8 pieces (external planks), boards 75 mm * 25 mm - 2 pieces (foot), and four beams 50 mm * 25 mm for internal planks (tiers). All of the above should correspond to the width of the bed, which means 0.9 m.

In the manufacture, you will also need support bars measuring 25 mm * 25 mm, 4 pieces each, 1.85 m and 0.9 m long.

To arrange the upper tier of the bed, it is also necessary to prepare boards of 50 mm * 25 mm and 100 mm * 25 mm, 2 pieces each and 0.75 m long.

For the manufacture of stairs to the second tier of the bed, you will need bars 50 mm * 25 mm, 2 pieces of each 1.25 m and 1.05 m.

In addition to wood, you will also need two sheets of plywood 1 cm in size and 1915 mm * 0.9 m in size. The bases for placing the bed on each tier will be made from them.

Important! The prepared material should be allowed to lie down in the acclimatization room for some time, and before proceeding with the assembly of all parts, they must be carefully sanded.

Taking into account the fact that all elements are polished and the required length, we proceed to assemble the structure and perform the following steps:

All parts are marked with a pencil or marker for future fasteners. Such marks should be made carefully, especially if in the future the bed is not planned to be covered with paint or dark varnish.

It is more convenient to start assembly from the side parts of the bed. To do this, holes are drilled in the elements of the sidewalls, and the joints are lubricated with wood glue. Now the elements are bolted. You can also use metal corners. This will especially help in cases where the design of the bed is more complex. (Fig. 12)

In a similar way, the sidewalls are fastened to the transverse boards of the structure. Additionally, auxiliary holes are drilled, which are also lubricated at the joints of the parts. For this, it is better to lay the bed on the floor and on its side.

To the racks of the structure, you also need to fix the support bars. They are fastened in the already described way with a step of 15 - 20 cm. In the future, the plywood of the base will rest on these bars. . (Fig. 13, 14, 15, 16)

Sometimes additional corners are used, which are stacked on racks.

Starting to assemble the stairs, prepared external and internal bars are taken. Holes with a diameter of 25 mm are drilled in the inner bars. A pipe will be inserted into these holes, and thus we will get a ladder. The approximate step in this design is 21 cm. The inner bars are attached to the longer outer bars, which, in turn, must be fixed directly to the assembled bed frame. (Fig. 17)

Now you can start decorating. The wooden bed can be painted or opened with acrylic varnish. Again, do not forget that the substances must comply with safety standards, and are allowed for work in residential areas. ("How to cover a tree with stain", "Stain for wood", "Types of varnishes").

Upon completion of the paintwork and its complete drying, you still need to fix the plywood bases and now you can use the crib.

On this, the manufacture and assembly of the bed can be considered completed. One moment of calculating the size of the bed, or rather its height, remained unmarked. When calculating the height, the height of the child must be taken into account. The height of the lower one should be sufficient so that when getting up, the baby does not hit the base of the second tier.

Having considered the manufacture of a bed of the simplest design, you can take a closer look at other options. For example, a bed using plywood not only for the base, but also for the side walls, can make the design more interesting. The same applies to the use of particle boards. ("Dsp in the interior. types and methods of processing"). . (Fig. 22, 23, 24)

Interiors with such beds can no longer look boring, and complemented by colorful wall decoration, they turn into a fabulous and unforgettable world. Wall decoration, however, as well as the ceiling, is carried out using traditional and simple materials, preferably natural or at least those that can withstand numerous wet cleanings. For example, painting with water-based paint or wallpapering. They cope well with the role of decor in children's rooms and wallpaper for painting. Such material can be painted several times, which is very convenient in the rooms where little fidgets live. ("Painting the ceiling" , "Wallpaper on the ceiling.

Particular attention should be paid to the flooring. In order for children to be able to not only run and jump without harm to the flooring, but also actively move something, it is necessary to use a reliable, abrasion-resistant material. It can be laminate, linoleum or natural wood, but of exceptionally high quality and safe for the health of the child. ("How to choose linoleum.

Quite simply: the bunk bed, the drawing of which you have to make, will require concentration. The dimensions of any product depend on the size of the room, the height of the ceilings, the availability of free space, blank walls. Yes, and the stairs to the second tier also require space, so you have to add 5-7 centimeters in width to the place where the stairs adjoin.

However, look at the drawings: there are several of them, it is possible that some option will be ideal. Otherwise, resize.

Do-it-yourself bunk bed: drawings in the studio!

For children, there are certain furniture standards: a bed - one and a half meters plus 8 cm, width - 70 cm plus 10 cm, the width of the place under the stairs adds an additional 5 centimeters.

I just want to shout: “Drawings to the studio!” But here just with height it is necessary to understand. The higher - the warmer: the law of physics, so the second bed or the upper tier of the loft bed should not be done right under the ceiling. Children love to play at heights, so make sure they don't get life-threatening injuries if they fall to the floor. And even better, so that only bruises and a couple of bumps remain or without them at all: here the railing will come to the rescue.

It is forbidden to make a low bed!

But you shouldn’t make a low bed either: the height of the child is such that his head is not at all obliged to touch the upper bed, besides, adults also like to sit down on the lower floor with their child. So the drawing must also meet such requirements, so measure the height of the child with the condition that he will still grow. And do not forget about the ceiling: in Khrushchev it is 2500 cm. Immediately take away the thickness of the mattress? This is about 20 centimeters, and only now begin competent calculations. The standard version is 180x80 cm.

Choosing a material

Pine is quite acceptable for one's own hands, besides it is soft and cheap. To build the frame, you will need a beam: 140x18 and 140x30. Plywood is thick - on the bed, and it is better to buy a metal ladder. If there is no plywood, then you can buy chipboard, only laminated. It is harder to work with it, but it is also possible if a power tool is at hand.

DIY bunk bed + drawings and wallet

The base for a children's mattress is 185 by 90 cm, but these dimensions do not have to be taken into account: it depends on how much your child weighs and how tall he is. It is better to buy risers: the market offers steel pipes coated with plastic. Buy fasteners in the same place as plugs so that curious children do not try to unscrew the washers and not ruin the structure.

If a second child has appeared in the family, then in order to save space in the bedroom and money in the wallet, a do-it-yourself children's bunk bed is perfect. The process itself implies the presence of the necessary tools:

• Pliers, hammer and screwdriver
• Electric drill or screwdriver
• Level, tape measure, square
• Saws, a hacksaw will do
• Clamps
• Electric jigsaw

Making a bunk bed with your own hands is not difficult if you have certain skills in such work. It is also important to have a good idea of ​​the end result, which is a significant incentive. Knowing where the bed will be located, you can make sure that it fits perfectly into the interior of the children's room. It is necessary to take into account the dimensions of the bed and correlate them with the prepared materials. During the work you will need:

• Four wooden beams two and a half meters long
• Four wooden beams three meters long
• Four boards three meters long
• Reiki or two plywood sheets about twelve millimeters thick (you can use chipboard instead of plywood)
• Screws seventy-five millimeters long
• Eight 6mm hex head screws
• Ten bolts 6mm, seventy-five millimeters long with washers and nuts
• Wood putty
• self-tapping screws
• Two bolts one hundred and fifty millimeters long with washers and nuts
• Sandpaper
• Polyurethane

Manufacturing Process Algorithm

You need to carefully assemble a children's bunk bed with your own hands: it will serve the children well, it will become for them, in a certain sense, another home.

Here it is better to cut off once, but you need to measure it seven times, so that the product matches the interior, is reliable in all respects. The process is simple, but everything requires precision and accuracy.

1. You must first mark on the supporting structures of a simple product a location for fixing wooden boxes for laying mattresses
2. Then you need to drill through holes for fixing screws, which are needed for rigid fastening of wooden boxes, which are intended for mattresses
3. Similarly, it is necessary to make a hole for each screw on both sides of the longitudinal bars
4. Then it is necessary, pressing the lower longitudinal bar to the first wall, fasten them with a screw, and do the same with the second wall of the support
5. Similarly, install the upper longitudinal bars, which serve as the basis for the mattresses - as a result, the supporting structure of the product will be obtained.
6. It is necessary to fix the transverse bars under the future bed for the child.

   This operation applies to both the lower and upper tiers. We fix them rigidly with screws to the bars at a distance of thirty centimeters from each other.

7. Now it's time to sheathe the frame of the box with boards on the side. Countersunk head screws work best for this sheathing.
8. It is necessary to attach the sides-shields, which will prevent the child from falling asleep accidentally
9. Rigidly fasten the stairs to the upper floor with screws

Things to Consider Before Getting Started

You need a firm confidence in what the size of the sleeping place will be and on which side to install the vertical ladder. The size of the bed is about eight centimeters longer than the sleeping place, and ten centimeters in width. The ladder increases the size of the product by about 4.5 centimeters.

To choose the optimal bed height, you need to take into account the height of the ceiling in the children's room. Of great importance is the distance between the second and first tiers. There should be enough space for the mother to sit down with the child if necessary.

For racks and stairs, you need bars and a board made of solid wood. The end panels are the same for the entire product, which simplifies their preparation. The side panels are equal in width to the end panels, which gives the bed an aesthetic completeness. The unevenness of their connection with each other ensures the originality of the composition.

Based on the size of the mattresses that will need to be laid on the bed, then you need to increase the size on each side by two centimeters. This will make it easier to fill the linen for the bed. The convenience of the product is the most important guideline in this work.

As for the first tier, its lowest position as a new sleeping place can be set by taking the height overcome by the baby almost without effort on his part as the foundation for calculations. Usually it is up to thirty-five centimeters for a child who is not yet three years old. Accordingly, the frame for laying the mattress will be lower by its thickness. But for the second tier, its maximum upper position is set taking into account the fact that an older child, whose bedroom is upstairs, can, if desired, sit down on the lower floor and at the same time not touch the second floor with his head.

How to build a solid framework

At the frame of a children's bunk bed, its reliability comes first, and the aesthetic side remains in the background. The bars must be firmly connected with screws. As a result, two approximately identical frames come out. They complement each other aesthetically.

A board must be screwed to the end and one side, while taking into account the importance of this fastening. It is better to screw in the screws from the inside and make sure that they do not go through the board. For short self-tapping screws, it is permissible to drill large holes using a depth gauge on the drill.

Also, the side is placed on the second frame. Mounting holes are best hidden with putty, after it dries, process it with sandpaper. The length of the leg should be in harmony with the height of the fence. The main thing is that the leg can withstand the expected load.

In the leg, you need to make a hole where the second tier will be attached, and about the same hole in the frame with a side. In the leg, such recesses are still needed that would make it possible to easily hide both the hex head of the screw and the washer. The hole should be of such depth that the screw, having pierced the side and leg, is securely fixed in the beam.

The children's bunk bed has another discreet specificity. Under the first floor, you can arrange a small but rather cozy bed box and put many necessary things there, including sheets and pillowcases for the bed. In this drawer, the child can store his favorite toys. The front panel of the drawer is not as long as that of the bed. Height - fully corresponds to the front panel of the first floor, which aesthetically looks very good, complementing the design of the children's room.

Mounting technology

Whenever we deal with construction, even if it is a miniature construction, the choice of manufacturing technology and material comes first.

The basis of the design is best to put a wooden board. Of course, its quality preparation requires some effort. It is necessary to align using a planer, sand with sandpaper, and then also pull with varnish to extend the life of the product.

It costs nothing to set the location of the racks in the event that the walls are made of drywall. It is important to accurately determine the place where the hole is needed. Here you will need an assistant in order to support the frame from below, firmly pressing it against the walls.

Guide holes must be made by drilling a rack profile, drywall, and also a frame bar. It is necessary to prepare places for screwing in screws with hex heads. Here you can not do without a long drill. The screws must be screwed in so that they connect the necessary elements and fix in the racks. The lower tier is also installed in a similar manner, that is, a frame with a side.
The fence is of great importance in the overall design, since it creates certain safety guarantees for children.

DIY bunk bed

The fence can be made of durable boards that are fixed on vertical posts. Self-tapping screws and here we must try to screw in from the inside. Moreover, it must be borne in mind that there should be an opening in the fence for the stairs leading to the second tier.

A vertical ladder is easier to make and takes up less space than an inclined ladder. First of all, it is necessary to properly fix two beams that will guide the movement of the child during the ascent and descent. The steps for it are securely fixed with 6 mm bolts. Bolts, which have a longer length, must be used when attaching the upper step with synchronous fixation of the ladder to the bed.

Option with laminated chipboard

Of course, the tree needs a lot of pre-treatment. If, instead of wood, in the manufacture of a children's bunk bed, laminated chipboard is used, then in this case, part of the technological operations will remain on the sidelines of the process. Instead, you will only need to process and stick the edge on the chipboard cuts. In practice, you will get a gain in time, the appearance will also win a little.

Laminated chipboard has a good characteristic in terms of wear resistance and strength.

It is necessary to saw laminated chipboard on the street, but the final work, with minimal dust and smell, can be comfortably carried out in an apartment. It is necessary to take into account the difference in the quality and specifics of the material and make some refinements in the manufacturing technology. In fact, they are not very significant. A children's bed from a laminated board will come out several times heavier than from a board, but the product will acquire additional stability.

When using chipboard, you will need completely different tools than in the case of wood:

• Portable hand circular
• For gluing the safety edge - iron
• Screwdriver with bits and drills
• Work gloves and knife
• Ruler, tape measure, pencil

In order to make a children's bunk bed with good quality, you will need not only laminated chipboard as a material, but also an edge, glue, sandpaper, wood is needed only for a ladder leading to the second tier.

A big plus in this case is the limited number of technological operations in the process. They should only include

• Having a good project with the subsequent transfer of data to a laminated board
• Edge bonding on chipboard
• Careful and even cutting
• Fixing chipboard with self-tapping screws

Fixture and finishing of the bed
Connecting the parts of a baby bunk bed is crucial. It is best to properly connect the racks and side panels at the beginning of the process, then firmly fix the end panels with the side panels. Get a strong and reliable support structure. The frame designed for the mattress just rests on the bars attached from the inside to the side panels.

The upper tier has two boxes as a result: with narrow panels and wide end ones. Meanwhile, at the lower tier, narrow panels from the end will already be outside the box. This is not in vain, because they have a special role. They are fixed with spikes and bolts in the lower part to the bed posts, blocking the junction of two levels, being a spacer, which completely eliminates the displacement of the posts of the lower tier in relation to the upper one. As for the displacement in the direction of the longitudinal axis, plug-in spikes protect against it in the joint area.

In addition, all panels have additional fasteners, they are fixed to each other with plug-in spikes with glue. They can be fixed to the racks using special furniture bolts with decorative heads. Similarly, you need to consider the fasteners of the stairs leading up. The stability of the entire product also depends on it.

Finishing a children's bunk bed has both aesthetic and practical significance. Meticulously polishing the blanks before they are assembled into a kind of two-story complex helps the new furniture fit into the existing design and increases the service life. The same can be said about painting with enamel with several layers applied. Beautiful, but also useful for wood, which makes the product look even more attractive.

Making a bed from chipboard with your own hands is very simple.

Beds are used in very different ways and every adult understands this. Hedonists prefer to recline on eight-seater negadromes in the company of beautiful odalisques, while a Red Army private dreams of a trestle bed closer to the stove. The middle option is a bed without frills, but multi-purpose. A do-it-yourself chipboard bed can satisfy the needs of people of different classes and inclinations, if you think about its design.

We will make such a bed from chipboard

Chipboard bed design

Nature teaches us: The best solution is always the simplest. Minimum parts - maximum efficiency and durability. An example of this is amoeba, ciliates and other small rubbish. They are able to survive anyone, and did not care about changes in the situation. The base of our bed must be durable and indifferent, so we choose a box-like structure without legs.

If we take an average model with the dimensions of parts adjusted to a standard chipboard sheet, then we will make it for a spring mattress 2000x1400x200 millimeters. Such a bed can be considered a double bed if your belly does not prevent you from tying your shoelaces, and your wife's dress fits into her cosmetic bag.

The bottom of the bed in the photo is plywood - but this option is for mass production. In a single case, it is easier to purchase one sheet of laminated chipboard and one sheet of cheaper - polished. The bottom will turn out to be one-piece, not composite, which is structurally much more profitable.

Chipboard bed details

If you make a bed from laminated chipboard with your own hands, you will have to order sawing from companies equipped with a professional cutting machine. It makes no sense to spoil the materials yourself at home, when it is possible to shift the blame for the failure to specialists and force them to redo the defective fragments.

List of parts made of laminated chipboard 16 mm thick:

• 1432x700 mm - blank headboard. You can give it roundness with an electric jigsaw, or immediately puzzle the sawmillers with this question and overpay for a curly cut.
• 1432x350 mm - footboard.
• 2000x350 mm - 2 pcs. Sidewalls.

From the chipboard sheet, you will still have a bunch of scraps on which it makes sense to practice in subsequent operations, such as gluing edges and drilling.

Details from polished chipboard (no one will see them):

• 2000x1400 - the bottom of the bed.
• 1400x300 - 2 pcs. Partitions, one of which can be ordered in laminate if the sanding is smaller than the standard size (it happens).

Do-it-yourself children's bunk bed: drawings, diagrams, photos

Draw to scale the location of the parts on each sheet and give the drawing to the sawmill - it will be more reliable.

Fasteners and accessories for the bed

Before you make a bed from chipboard, you need to clearly understand its design and determine the degree of reliability of the fasteners. The second picture shows the bed "in section" with partitions. All ties are carried out by means of confirmations and are additionally duplicated with metal corners 30x30 millimeters. The corners must be “sharpened” for 4x16 mm self-tapping screws.

Bed Assembly Diagram

Exactly such corners will serve as an additional support for the bottom of the bed. As you can see in the drawing, they need to be screwed around the entire perimeter of the box - that is, to the backs and sides. Naturally, the level of the upper "shoulder" of the corners must match the height of the partitions = 300 mm.

From below, to the backs and sidewalls, you can (but not necessarily) attach the so-called "hooves" - plastic legs that protect the floor from scratches when moving the bed. They will also allow you to adjust the level of the structure, standing on an uneven floor.

Important! This bed must be placed in such a way that none of its corners "hangs in the air." Under the weight of the spring mattress and the people themselves, of course, it will stand on all supports, but at the same time, the stress in the material will create a threat of destruction.

An insufficiently even or bumpy floor is the main enemy of all chipboard products.

Bed assembly

Our regular friends have already read about the method of edging parts at home. The rest we voice additionally.

An ordinary 16 mm thick melamine edge with an adhesive base is perfectly glued to the end of the parts using an iron heated to three-quarters of the power. Gently iron it a few times and wipe the top with a dry cloth so that the edges stick better.

The edge is somewhat wider than the chipboard and the edges of the glued parts must be sanded with fine-grained sandpaper, after cutting off the excess plastic with a blunt knife. Sharp you can easily damage the laminate, which will not add beauty to the bed.

Confirmates do not fundamentally differ from standard self-tapping screws - the difference is only in size. We drill the plane through, with a diameter of 8 mm, and the end of the fastened part with a 5 mm drill and to a depth of about 60 mm.

The dimensions are indicated for confirmations 5x70 mm, which are easy to buy in furniture fittings stores.

At what distance from each other to fix the partitions - it does not matter. The main thing is that they are parallel to each other and perpendicular to the sidewalls. About a third of the length from the backs - and without a micrometer.

Separately, neither the confirmation screed nor the corners will give you the desired structural strength, so duplicate and do not be lazy. The bottom can simply be put on top, but it is better to put the bed “on the butt” and fix it with self-tapping screws, screwing it to the corners.

Actually, by this moment it is already clear how to make a bed from chipboard with your own hands ... It remains only to put a mattress on the bottom, and something attractive on top of the mattress, like a beloved wife or a teddy bear. But it's up to your taste.

Here we have tried to illustrate the simplicity of making any furniture from laminated chipboard for a person who is not afraid of a drill and a hammer. There is no need to overpay exorbitant amounts when shopping in stores: having understood the basic principle, you can build even the most exotic furniture options with your own hands.

Good luck to you.

Bunk bed for children: types and instructions on how to do it yourself

DIY children's bunk bed

A bunk bed is not just a rest and sleep area for a child, this is the place where children will play, grow and develop. Because of her, children will not rarely have disputes about who sleeps on the lower, who sleeps on the upper bunk of the bed. For parents, such a bed is also very beneficial. It takes up little space in the room, compared to two beds facing each other.

Children's bunk bed made by hand

There are a lot of different models of beds. You can always choose an option that you and your baby will like. But such a purchase has one significant drawback - it will punch a serious hole in the family budget. Therefore, it is worth thinking about the possibility of making such a bed yourself at home.

How to make a bunk bed. Bunk bed drawings, detailing, assembly order

This method also has a lot of advantages: the furniture will be made according to individual sizes and sketches, and you can also save a lot on components and the work of the master. And who does not dream of earning the glory of a folk craftsman and craftsman?

Beginning of work

Children's bunk bed

So, before you start making a children's bunk bed with your own hands, you will need to determine the place in the room where it will be installed, as well as purchase a ready-made mattress and measure all the necessary dimensions of the future piece of furniture. But it is worth remembering that the bed is not made for one year, and therefore it is worth buying a mattress and making the bed itself for growth.

After the mattress is purchased, you can begin to draw a plan for the future bed, indicating all the parameters. And do not think that you can do without a drawing and do everything by eye. Such a complicated thing as a do-it-yourself children's bunk bed in autumn is difficult to do without drawings.

Start preparing lumber for the bed should be based on the following dimensions:

• the height of the bed will be approximately 1500 mm;
• optimal width - 900 mm;
• standard length - 2100 mm;
• height from the floor to the lower tier - 230 mm.

DIY bunk bed: assembly diagram and step-by-step instructions

Beds in two tiers are increasingly in demand in the arrangement of small rooms. And this is not surprising, because such furniture allows you to rationally use the living space. We offer simple instructions for self-assembly of high-quality children's furniture. Following the suggested recommendations, you can make a bed that will be reliable and safe.

Some types and models of bunk beds

Illustrations	Bunk structures and their description
	traditional model. This is the simplest design, which consists of four vertical supports with single beds attached to them. The design is completed with an attached or fixed ladder to the second tier. For safety of use, the upper bed is equipped with a barrier along the perimeter.
	Bed option with sofa. This is a good option if you need to accommodate three children or a child and a teenager in one room. To do this, the upper tier on two vertical supports is installed on top of a double or one and a half sofa - a transformer.
	Bed model with drawers. The design used an ordinary bed, in the lower part of which there is a drawer on roll-out rollers. The box is an excellent solution for storing bed linen and other bedding.
	Model with a double bed on the first tier. This option is optimal for those families where the child and parents are accommodated in the same bedroom. That is, adults are located on the lower tier, and the child on the upper. In fact, the second tier and vertical supports on the sides are an independent structure, under which an ordinary double bed is rolled.
	Bed for a large family. Such designs are a combination of several bunk beds in one room. If there are many children, each tier can be made double.
	Children's loft bed. In fact, this is a single-tier structure in which the sleeping bed is located at the height of the second tier. In the lower tier there may be a play area or a study if the room is intended for a teenager.

The principles of high-quality assembly of a wooden bed

What should be paid special attention to when assembling the bed, so that the finished result is of high quality?

• Choosing the right drawing. The drawing of the bed in the nursery should correspond to the number of children and their size, adjusted for growth.
• Choosing the right materials. If we are going to assemble furniture for a children's room, we use environmentally friendly and safe materials.
• Choosing the right tools. Literally from the very beginning, you need to pick up all those tools that will be enough to work with the selected material.
• We follow the assembly sequence. When starting to make a bed, read the instructions provided in this article and follow the sequence of assembly steps.

Material and tools for the bed

Illustrations	Materials and their description
	Wood (lumber). This category includes boards, bars, slats, furniture panels, plywood and other materials that are obtained by sawing wood. The advantage of wooden furniture is its environmental friendliness, since wood is a completely natural product. Lack of wooden lumber is their high price in comparison with particle boards.
	Particle boards (chipboard, chipboard, OSB, MDF). This category of material includes boards pressed from chips or sawdust with the addition of an adhesive binder. By choosing the right thickness of particle boards, these materials can be used both for the manufacture of supports and the supporting frame, and for the manufacture of roll-out boxes and other related elements. The only drawback of the material is the content of formaldehydes in the adhesive binder.
	Metal. A bed in two tiers can be assembled from a profile pipe, a corner and other rolled metal. With the right approach to assembly, the finished product will be reliable, beautiful and safe. The only problem is that working with metal will require the appropriate experience and the right tool.

Which of the following materials should you choose? Each material has its own advantages and disadvantages. But for assembly, you can use more than one type of material, but combined options, for example, a combination of wood and particle boards or a combination of metal structures and wood.

To work with wood and particle boards, you will need the same set of tools:

• Circular saw - for cutting materials.
• Electric jigsaw for making curved cuts.
• Drill or screwdriver with drills and bits for self-tapping screws.
• Manual or stationary milling cutter for chamfering and cutting grooves (relevant for wood).
• Measuring tool including tape measure, ruler and square.
• Sander and a set of sandpaper with different grits for sanding (relevant for wood).
• Painting tool for painting the finished bed.

To work with metal, you will need welding equipment and related accessories. In addition, you will need an angle grinder "Bulgarian" with cutting discs and clamps.

Dimensional drawings

I offer an overview of simple drawings of bunk beds. The structures shown in the drawings can be assembled from wood and particle boards. However, a classic bed from the first drawing can also be made from a profile pipe.

Production of beds with two tiers

During the assembly of a wooden bunk bed, you will have to face a number of tasks.

Illustrations	Working with wood and its description
	Longitudinal sawing. Cutting boards to length is performed using a stationary circular saw. To perform this work efficiently, using a jigsaw or a hacksaw will not work.
	Cross cutting. For cross cutting, it is preferable to use a miter saw as in the photo. If there is no miter saw, we work with a hand saw, placing the lumber in the miter box.
	Jointer processing. Since the bed will be for children, the wood should not have protruding chips and should not leave a splinter. Therefore, we drive the sawn blanks through a jointer, removing roughness from all sides, up to a smooth surface.
	Chamfering. Bedroom furniture for use in a nursery should not have sharp corners, therefore we remove a longitudinal chamfer from all parts with a milling cutter.
	Corner connections. In order for the furniture to be reliable, we assemble the corner joints using L-shaped hardware and self-tapping screws.
	tongue-and-groove connection. For reliable fastening of the barrier sides, we use a thorn-groove connection. The advantage of such a connection is not only that it is reliable, but also that it is collapsible.

Sizing

The dimensions of the bed are determined in accordance with the dimensions of the mattress. The standard dimensions of the mattress are 800 × 1900 mm, respectively, the perimeter of the bed is made in such a way that the mattress fits tightly there.

Another important dimension is the distance between the top of the bottom tier and the bottom of the top tier. The optimal distance for a baby bed is 700-800 mm.

Approximate calculation of materials

Consider the calculation of materials using the example of assembling an all-wood structure. To assemble the supporting frame, you will need a board with a thickness of 20 mm or more. For vertical supports, it is preferable to use a solid beam with a section of 50 × 50 mm or more. If there is no solid timber available, the supports are made by folding several boards flat to get the required section in total.

The calculation of materials is carried out in accordance with the selected drawing. Namely, according to the drawing, we determine the number of structural elements with their design dimensions. Knowing the number of parts and their exact dimensions, it is easy to calculate the amount of materials needed.

Suitable ladder and railings

When designing and assembling stairs and ledges, we remember that the most important two parameters are the strength of structural elements and the reliability of their fastening. The strength of stairs and ledges is achieved by the correct selection of the thickness of materials, and the reliability of fastening is ensured by the use of properly selected fasteners.

Making a frame according to the drawing

In the design of a classic bunk bed, two load-bearing frames of the same size are used. An important point when assembling frames is a right angle at the corner joints.

To maintain a right angle during assembly, we check the assembled connections with a square. Again, we strengthen the joints of the sidewalls, headboards and footboards with L-shaped plates with reinforced scarves.

Stairs to bunk beds

Making a bunk bed

Illustrations	Description of assembly steps
	Backrest and headboard. Cross bars are attached to the vertical supports, which are selected to the width of the mattress. One piece will be the headboard, the other the footboard.
	Side walls. The sidewalls together with the transverse crossbars of the backs form a load-bearing frame. Therefore, it is so important to securely fix these boards on vertical supports.
	Stairs. The sides of the stairs are assembled from boards, in which holes are drilled from the inside for the cylindrical steps of the crossbar. We cut the cylinders of steps to the width of the stairs. The steps in the side boards are fixed with glue.
	We strengthen the frame with safety bumpers. On top of the supporting frames of the upper and lower tiers, additional sidewalls are attached, which will strengthen the structure and serve as safety bumpers.
	Legs or how to protect the floor from scratches. So that the furniture on the floor does not leave scratches, we glue special rubber or felt pads along the lower edge of the supports, as shown in the photo.

Summing up

Now you know how to make a bunk wooden bed for children on your own. If you have any questions about assembling the bed, ask them in the comments to the article.

In modern apartments, the rooms vary considerably in size, so not the largest room is often chosen for the nursery. The best option for increasing free space is a do-it-yourself bunk bed, the drawings and diagrams of which will be presented below. The only drawback of this option is the age of the child, since in adolescence he will be uncomfortable on the second floor. By replacing the lower bed with a sofa, you can create comfortable sleeping conditions even for an older child.

Stages of work

How to make a bunk bed yourself? This question is asked by everyone who decided to fix the problem with the lack of a bed in the children's room. Let's try to consider the stages of making a bunk bed at home. Step-by-step instructions will help you do this job without outside help.

The manufacturing process looks like this:

• the first thing to do is to choose a bed model;
• draw up a drawing and diagram;
• purchase materials and prepare tools;
• on the basis of the drawing, prepare parts of the required dimensions;
• assemble the main frame;
• make a back, side walls, stairs, legs;
• assemble the overall structure.

During the design and development, drawings of the bed are prepared. Particular attention is paid to the safety of the entire structure as a whole: a strong frame, reliable side walls (fences), easy stair climb.

Drawings and diagrams

All work requires accuracy and precision, so each stage accompanies the drawing. He is preparing not one, but for all parts. The exact dimensions of the parts, height, thickness will help to get the result that the master is striving for.

What is indicated on the drawing:

• dimensions of the final structure;
• assembly diagram of individual parts;
• ways to connect nodes;
• order of installation of each part;
• dimensions of structural parts and fasteners.

materials

When making a bunk bed at home, you need to choose the right material. Experts recommend paying attention to the following types:

• array - from which beautiful, strong and durable structures are obtained. But to work with it, building skills and abilities are required;
• lumber - which must be selected from quality dried specimens. Raw wood will not retain its shape, it will begin to take away, cracks may appear;
• MDF is a modern analogue of ordinary wood. Products look attractive and stylish. You can choose laminated MDF boards. There is a variant of the usual raw plate, then it is covered in finished form with stain and varnish. If parts of the bed are ordered to a furniture factory, then the experts will process the edges with a special finish. The furniture will be neat, no different from the factory;
• Chipboard (LDSP) is a material that is not suitable for all parts of the bed. From it you can make boxes under the base of the frame, backrest, panel. It is important to consider covering the ends of the parts with a film;
• furniture board - consisting of pieces glued into a single whole. Natural wood is not just beautiful, it allows you to make carvings, perform other ornaments, embody interesting design solutions. Only a master with a carpentry skill will be able to work with a furniture shield.

Instruments

Making bunk furniture for children is not difficult if you prepare all the necessary tools and remember your existing building skills. Of course, it’s good if the master has already made something out of wood and knows how to work with it.

For work you will need:

• saw - hacksaw;
• screwdriver;
• planer or grinder;
• knives;
• jigsaw (preferably electric);
• sandpaper;
• drill.

We need instruments and devices for measuring, fixing. You can not do the work without a simple pencil.

frame

The manufacture of the frame begins with the measurement of the mattress. The base and its shape correspond to the chosen size of the bed for the child. If the design is with a sofa, the bottom of the seat is measured.

Frame manufacturing process:

• the box is connected to the sofa at the bottom;
• boards (long and end) are being prepared, which are assembled into a rectangle. They can be compared to a box. There will be two such boxes according to the number of tiers;

Making a frame for the first and second floor

• the sofa fits into the box;
• to connect the box with the sofa, side supports are being prepared. These are two bars standing vertically. They are pulled together by smaller bars. There should also be two supports. One rectangle for one side wall, another for the second;

Thus, the frame is attached to the supports

• the assembled frame is pulled together, fixed.

Fastening bars to support the frame during assembly
Fastening of spacer blocks

Fastening boards is done in a convenient way: eyes, spikes. Before fastening, they are lubricated with wood glue. The elements are connected firmly so that it is not possible for any part of the frame to loosen during operation. The resulting structure is dried. A photo of a bunk bed with a sofa is shown below.

If the spike connection is difficult for the master, then self-tapping screws can be used. The main thing is to think over their closure from the outside, so that it is not possible to get abrasions and scratches. The fastening is reinforced with metal corners.

Back

The backs are different, it can be a rack option, when slats are added to the frame of the lower and upper parts. They will hold all the furniture, protect from constant contact with the walls of the room. Often the back of the lower tier is made soft. Then the sleeping place below can be compared with a sofa.

In this version, for the back you will need:

• furniture board, or boards, tightly pressed against each other;
• a solid wall that will limit the bed from contact with the wall.

Prepared boards (shield, slats) are fixed to the back of the frame. For reliability, attach the bed to the wall by connecting the backrest to the wall with metal corners. With a simple version of the bed, the design of the back does not play a role. It is needed only to highlight each tier, to limit the frame. It can be one rail on three sides of the bed. Photos with different options for the backs are presented below.

Side walls

The side walls in construction terminology are called the head and back. These are two elements that are similar to each other, with the only difference being that railings are inserted in the back, and the headboard remains solid. Sometimes both parts are ordered in workshops, then you just have to fix them on the frame. The side walls can be made integral for two floors.

For the head take:

• two sanded boards, one slightly wider than the other;
• 4 side rails.

Side wall fixing:

• headboard boards are inserted into the rail on the sides. The second rail will be needed to fasten the walls with other parts;
• back and headboard are connected;
• to support the mattress, a lattice, lamella or mesh is made;

Laying rails on the top bottom

• the rail is nailed to the inside of the frame to strengthen the fortress. It is recommended to make at least one partition for the mattress, which will add rigidity;

Bars to maintain the slatted bottom

• a frame is being prepared for the slats, it is located along the inner plane of the bed;
• a rail is superimposed on the frame, an approximate step of 5-7 cm.

All external ribs need to be chamfered (6x6 mm). This can be done with a hand plow.

For the back, you will also need two boards and four slats. But the location of the boards here needs to be changed: set the wide board at the bottom, the narrow board at the top. The height of the wide board of the back coincides in size with the narrow board of the headboard.

Assembling the frame base
Assembly of the upper tier

Stairs

Any children's two-story structure requires the installation of a ladder. A three-step staircase is considered traditional, but depending on the height of the bed, there may be more steps. The drawings will tell you the dimensions, the height of the stairs, the width of the step and the methods of fastening.

By type of fastening stairs are:

• vertical - tightly attached to the frame;
• inclined - located at an angle.

Stair manufacturing process:

Preparation for future steps

• two beams are installed, which will be the bases of the stairs - guides;
• then the steps are fixed. The lower step is connected to the backrest, and the rest are exactly one above the other. Steps are inserted into the bars.

Step connection methods:

• external;
• into the recess;
• on metal corners.

Please note that any fastening must be closed. This will secure the child's use of the bed, protect the entire structure. If the furniture is with a sofa, it is better to make a staircase with wider steps. Then a wide beam is taken, and the steps are cut from the inside. If steps are bolted, the longest bolts are selected for the top step.

For the stairs you need a handrail for which the baby will hold. Railing drawings are always given along with a description of the installation of the stairs. The railing is a regular board, designed to grip a child’s hand, with a selection for mounting on a frame.
