How difficult is the production of a loft bed with his hands

The answer to this question is ambiguous. For some, such work will be quite simple, while others may become altogether impossible. But still a little bit easier to manufacture double loft beds for adults. Indeed, in this case it does not require any special form - the sleeper may be in a minimalist style. Children this variant is unlikely to enjoy. We will definitely consider a step by step of manufacturing in this section later.

Important! With self-manufacturing loft bed for two people should not forget that it needed more strength than for a berth for one person. Including and for this reason need a detailed drawing, drawn up listing all the materials and sizes.

Dimensions of beds, the height above the floor, and other dimensions

The dimensions of the bed-loft are selected depending on the wishes of the home worker, as well as the height from the floor. But do not forget that from the bed to the ceiling must be a minimum distance of 1 m. otherwise about any healthy sleep can be no question - is an option that a person simply not to be missed air. Including For this reason, when applying these beds you need to consider and forced ventilation.

Forming drawings bed-loft should take into account the amount of material which is required for manufacturing. Just need to pre-calculate the number of fittings required. But the most important is the choice of wood from which the sleeper will be carried out.

Which materials can be produced attic bed

The most common for the manufacture of a loft bed solid wood, which is not surprising. After all, wood is easier to process and less weight. However, some use for attics metal-beds. Today, we will not consider the second option, stopping at wooden bedding.

The simplest option is to purchase products in stores such as "Ikea" and their subsequent assembly of the house. But to dwell on this question makes no sense today. These loft beds have a full description of the assembly with the numbering of parts. This means that the additional instructions for the production of such works is not required. Much more interesting to understand how to make a loft bed from scratch with your own hands. About it now and we'll talk.

Step by step the production of a loft bed with his hands with photo examples

Having dealt with the choice of material and drawings of the bed-loft, you can begin substantive work. We will consider the simplest version

photo example	Resulting actions
	The first step, according to the drawing, we prepare all the details that are needed to build a loft bed

	Installed below the shelf must be covered from the external sight. With this task perfectly cope blackout curtains

Of course this is the easiest option. Children's loft beds to make much more complicated. That we will devote a separate topic. After all options for their production of a great many. And in each of them should be dealt with in detail.

In our example, we have shown the production of loft beds without a working area. In this case, it is not necessary to mount the bed at such a high level - if it is done below, everything will look much neater, and the material will leave less. At the same time, setting on the first floor of the computer desk and office equipment, it will bed the workplace below.

Yet independent production of these products is not very common. This requires the existence of certain tools for woodworking, as well as the skills to work with him. So there is a need to deal with the average prices for finished products, to find out who is major producers of loft beds and see the most famous and popular models present day.
