building a new double bed (mattress size 54" X 75")for my son in our home -- idea is a cross between loft and hanging bed. basic box frame built out of 2" X 8". I'll make the interior box dimnension 1" bigger on each side -- so interior will be 56" X 77", and exterior will be a true 60" X 81" (using true 2" maple to match other furniture). Interior corners of the box frame will be braced. As well, interior of frame will have 2" X 2"'s strapped to the 2" X 8" to support the 3/4" or 1" plywood matress platform. The concept is to attach the head and one side to the studs, using 3 1/2" screws. the other two sides of the box will not be attached, but will "hang" from the ceiling joist via welded chain.
Wondered if anyone had any experience with a similar project, or any input into the concept. |
