How to Build a Kids Bunkbed Woodworking Plan

Why have a kid sleep in a full-size bed when a kids sized bed will do the trick ever so comfortably and free up much needed bedroom space? These beds are for kids. They are not full size and will not accommodate adults. They are ideal for places unable to fit a full size set of bunks. They can be used as bunks (one on top of the other) or as two single beds that can be tucked neatly into a corner. The bunk set comprises of two single kids beds, two bunk ends, and a ladder. Once made, The beds, the bunk ends, and ladder can be easily assembled to make the complete bunk set (one bed on top of the other). The bunks can just as easily be disassembled, should you wish to revert back to two single beds or even one. With these plans and instructions you can make as little as one bed or make the complete bunk set which can be assembled and disassembled at will. There are only three different stock sizes required for this project. They are 3/4 x 3 1/2 inch (90mm x 19mm), 3/4 x 5 1/2 inch (140mm x 19mm), and 3/4 x 1 1/2 inch (40mm x 19mm). Those wood sizes are common stock and should be available in most areas.
