I want to build a bed something like the one attached. I know how to build the trundle part since I did one last year (although any designs you want to contribute will be gladly accepted). The part I need help with is the top bed. As you may remember from an earlier post, I have to make the bed fit in as small a space as the mattress will allow.
I am going to build something like the bed shown, except that I will not have the headboard and footboard go above the mattress. The platform that the bed is on will be the same length and width as the mattress (a platform bed).
Can you suggest how to join the parts so that they will be strong enough to withstand a 12 (13, 14, 15, 16 ...) year old? I have some ideas, but would like to see what ideas I get from this crowd before I offer up what I am thinking.
This is the challenge of the night!
Thanks.
Ray
