Hello, thank you for sharing these
plans. I am considering this for
my (nearly) 5 year old son but want to add about 1 foot to the overall
height. Would I need to do anything
additional to this design besides using longer corner posts?

Thanks again,
Peter

Thank you so much for the link and information! We're going to give this a try this weekend replacing the posts with the 2-2x4s. We're definitely NOT using treated wood! Yikes.

Hi there Jen! Here is a link on some of the particulars of pressure treated wood. You will probably not want to use this for the legs of a bed for your little one. Instead, I recommend using 2- 2x4's glued and screwed together. It will provide a similar appearance and be more than sturdy enough. 2x4's are used in framing for homes..plenty strong. Use wood filler along the seam of the 2 boards, sand and finish. You shouldn't even hardly be able to tell that it's 2x4's instead of 4x4's! here is the link for pressure treated wood details: http://www.naturalhandyman.com/iip/infxtra/infpre.html

We were planning to make this bed this weekend, but were unable to find untreated fenceposts or lumber of any type anywhere on island. We live on Maui, Hawaii and our shopping options are extremely limited (and expensive!). I'm assuming the reason everything is treated has to do with the climate (humidity, proximity to the ocean, etc) or the abundance of termites. Can you explain the reason for using untreated wood in the project? I'm hoping it won't matter and we can go ahead and use treated wood and do it anyway, but I'm a little worried it might be some horrible carcinogen or something we don't want our 3-yr-old sleeping on. I've been too afraid to google it! LOL. Thank you! Love the plans regardless!

i am so glad you all like this...there aren't very many cute and stylish free plans for loft bunks out there and this was seriously so simple to build! sarah i felt and still feel like you do, my boy is only 2.5 and i wasn't sure i was ready to give this to him..this post helped me take the plunge and now i am so glad i did! he is officially a big boy and is totally owning that! i love that his activity table fits right under it perfectly and he loves to play under there! he also loves to play on top of his activity table, but what can you do...

My son is only 14 months old but I have had it planned out for about 12 months that he will have a bed like this when we finally move him out of a bed that confines him(so he falls asleep instead of plays). Now I have the plan and I feel somewhat prepared for him to be a big boy someday!

Amazing!!!

wendy thank you! jessica, it sure it my friend, just a standard twin...this is really simple to build and so sturdy. it's only a little under 3' from the floor so it's safe even for the littler wee ones. consider pre-finishing it will be easier that way. i did this all by my 5'2" self, and i am no superwoman so all you fabulous gals out there don't even need the help of your hubbies!
