Thus, it should get a "shelf".
-
Attach the drawer side bars. Between them will then be laid for the base board under the mattress.
Pay attention to the width of the boards.
-
Next, do the same thing with the parties, which is at the head and feet. Secure board 2 corresponding to the width of the "shelf" bed, and connect them to the side-bar with screws through a hole made "under p'o-t'ai".
Attach them the same way to the rack legs.
-
Place the board between the bars glued to the side-bar.
They must be strong enough.
You will now create the back.
- Take 3 boards, the size of the width of the bed in order to attach them to racks.

Using self-tapping method and assembly of parts "under p'o-t'ai" attach to one of the ladder uprights.
If necessary, enclosures can be mounted on the upper bunk.
If the design requires the presence of the boxes, the ladder should be secured to the outside of the carrier rack. Now attach the boxes to the stairs, according to the drawing.

About the decor is worth considering prior to manufacture, as it may affect the project. For the experienced masters the strength to make furniture in the form of a house, car or boat. You can attach the "branches" of a staircase by which "young Mowgli" will climb to the second floor.
An experienced master bed is obtained as if descended from the pages of books with fairy tales.
A common goal is to add Swiss wall athletic rings or rope. We earned a lot of popularity with the descent of the bed in the form of slides.
