How to Build a Bunk Beds with Stairs
You've seen them in bunk beds: triple bunk beds with stairs. These unique triple bunk bed with stairs can add serious style to an ordinary twin size bed, and triple bunk bed with stairs is usually much cheaper than other triple bunk bed with stairs (as much as 50% cheaper). If you're planning to have a triple bunk bed with stairs, keep the following in mind to make sure that your purchase is a wise investment.
First, understand why you'd want a triple bunk bed with stairs. Most triple bunk bed with stairs are actually designed so that the lower bed has three beds, while the upper one remains empty. These beds come in different heights, ranging from eight feet to ten feet and sometimes even higher. Since most triple bunk beds with stairs are taller than the average twin sized bed, it's unlikely that the extra height would be a problem for most children.
Second, choose a loft bed design that allows for the extra space. Kids love loft beds because of their spacious play area, but the stairs add to the height, which makes it harder for little ones to climb up and down. A good choice for safety reasons would be to have a solid board on the bottom of the stairs, just like the bottom of a regular bunk bed. This way, kids can't slip when they reach the top bunk.
Third, be sure to buy a set of stairs made for use with a twin or full bunk bed. Some sets include the top bunk, stairs and a ladder. This is a good combination for smaller kids who are afraid of heights. It also makes cleaning up after play easier since there aren't any extra steps to clean underneath the triple bunk bed. Just remember that most manufacturers of bunk beds include a set of stairs, so it's probably unnecessary to buy separate components.
Once you've bought a set of stairs and the full-size bed, you should also check full plan. Many bunk bed sets come with a built-in storage space, but some don't. If your storage space is small, consider purchasing a smaller storage space. If the storage space is too large, you might need more floor space in order to place everything.
Next, check to see how tall your kids are. You'll probably need to move the bed higher in order for your kids to reach all parts of the bed, but many standard twin bunk beds with slide up extensions are accessible to taller kids. You should also be aware of local building codes, which usually have limits on how high certain types of slides can be. For example, many buildings don't allow bunk beds with steps. If your triple bunk bed with slide up extension has steps, be sure to follow local building codes.
Finally, triple bunk bed with steps may require a straight ladder. Some standard twin beds with slide ups can only be assembled using a straight ladder. Even if you get a triple bunk bed with a drop side or stairs, make sure that it is assembled using a straight ladder. A regular bunk beds with a curved ladder may not provide the stability required to keep children safe.
These are just a few suggestions on how to build a diy shed bed for your children. You should always consult with a child safety professional when you try to make modifications to a home improvement project, no matter how small the modification may be. Safety is everyone's responsibility. So be sure to keep your kids safe when they try to do projects that involve working with their hands and legs.
