The simplest variation of a bunk bed. The problem of this model is the age limit of children, with a simple ladder fixed to the side. Not every child can easily climb on it to the second tier.
A more comfortable option, with a ladder and drawers. It is suitable for children from 4 years. The child can easily climb into the bed and not be afraid to fall, and the built-in drawers will save space in the room.
If you have a 1-bedroom apartment or studio-type living space, you can design a model of a 3-bedroom bunk children's bed. Moreover, relying on the age of the child, as well as on the squares of housing. It can be a bed with an ordinary staircase or, as in the previous version, laundry boxes are mounted in the stairs.

How to assemble a bunk bed: step by step instructions
In this article, we will analyze the assembly of a simple bunk bed with a ladder. You can find the drawing and assembly diagram in this article above.
To start, we will prepare the parts according to the drawing, we need:
- Bar 5 cm * 5 cm.
- Chopping block floor or trim 30 * cm * 30 mm or 30 cm * 50mm
- Plywood sheet (dimensions according to the drawings).
Let's make the basis for laying the mattress. We measure the width and length of the mattress (if any) and saw off the boards in size. We fasten together with a thorn connection and glue.
IMPORTANT! All parts must be machined around the edges with a machine or a planer and sandpaper. To avoid sharp corners and injuries to the child.
Further, a bar is attached to the inner side of the frame for further installation of the mattress stop. The emphasis will be made of timber and a plywood sheet will be attached to it. For the second tier, it is necessary to make a second, the same box.
Next, we arrange the structure so that both boxes lie on their sides. The distance between them should be the same as their location when fully assembled. We connect the bars to the bases with the help of bolts (self-tapping screws in this case will not work), after drilling holes in the joints. After fixing all 4 bars, it is necessary to install a cross screed of timber or block, we place it between the first and second tiers in the legs and head. So that under load the bars do not bend or break. Next, raise our bed and fasten the stairs and side emphasis.
