    I think I would make those stairs with a smaller rise.
    If you search around for the kind of bins that you want first and make sure they are a good size rise for the occupant, then you can build around them instead of trying to find bins to fit the space. That's harder.
    Turns out, banana boxes made great bins and are the perfect rise size for me and they're free!
    Good job!

    Hey man this is just some advice I am use to building aquarium stand and aquarium can weigh from 100 of pounds with no water to 100,000 of pounds with water and substrate rocks and everything else in it and also the fact that it is live pressure so the stand for it should be able to hold atleast 3-4x the weight of the tank with everything in it so I wouldn't rely on the screws on the bed for the beams you should put some actual support beams under the wood that are screwed into the pre existing beam but hey other than than that great job

    What I didn't like is the gap between the post and the wall. You should cut the top of the pole like "L" cut. So it will fit and touch the wall and it will also add huge strength to carry the horizontal frame of the bed.. what I like is how you make the stairs.

  • @hudsonriverlee
    @hudsonriverlee 6 років тому +3

    I agree 100% with Inktronics, you should have notched out the support post and not rely on the screws to hold up the weight,. The idea for the stairs is cool. You mentioned how one section supports the other. You boxed in one corner of the support post. Even this is better than relying solely on the screws to hold up everything. I rent an apartment with a huge barn, we cannot screw or nail into any wood surface per the lease. So I must make a self supporting weight bearing system. I plan to use posts as well however they will be notched. Anyhow, enough. You still did an awesome job. I truly liked the video and how you constructed the stairs. I am sure that took some planning.

    • @Moldoro
      @Moldoro 4 роки тому

  • @Thornspyre
    @Thornspyre 5 років тому +4

    Ive watched a lot of bed making and loft bed making videos and i notice you americans often favour a solid sheet base for the matress to go on top of (in this case MDF)
    Im not sure if any of you even realise, but a matress should have the ability to draw air in from the underside, it keeps the matress dry (you sweat more than you realise in bed) and cuts down on the various creepy crawlies that make their homes in such places, they prefer it to be a little damp
    So anyway, really if you do insist on using sheets like MDF or Plywood, you should either drill quite a lot of holes in it, like say one a big (half inch) hole every 6 inches or so, or better yet use slats for the base instead of sheets, thick ply or solid pine work well, i probably dont have to say dont use MDF slats
    Then as you move around on the matress while sleeping, you draw fresh dry air into the matress cutting down on the nastiness i mentioned earlier
    This is not just a matter of cleanliness, its a matter of health, especially for kids where it can lead to respiritory issues, matresses may not feel damp, but inside there is moisture, the only way to keep it dry is to have ventilation (and those little vents some manufacturers build into the side of matresses are really not enough)
    Dont just make beds, make healthy beds

    • @SSLFamilyDad
      @SSLFamilyDad  5 років тому +1

      You know, this is a great point and thinking back it would have been ok for me to use some 1x2 slates for the base also. Great idea, thanks!

    I just want to lift an already existing twin bed into a loftbed... by placing each leg on a 4x4 post, placing 2x4s around both post and legs sort of creating a box to slip the legs in and with the posts at the bottom to hold up the legs and screwing 12 nails into each leg... plus of course adding 2x4s connected on the sides (headboard and footboard, and the back as supports to keeping everything steady... ive only ever built a kitchen island so im still new at explaining... but does it sound doable or unsafe?

  • @uconnizzy

    Hi. This is really impressive. Would you be able to make a video that walks us through the planning process of something like this? Did you use a computer program to lay things out, or draw a rough sketch? I'm looking to do some home projects, and I'm pretty handy, but never know quite how to plan before I start and end up making lots of changes on the fly.
    Thanks for the great videos! Your kids are going to love this loft!

    • @SSLFamilyDad
      @SSLFamilyDad  7 років тому +1

      This is always my challenge as well. I have used Google Sketchup for projects like this before but then I just end up changing things once I get into it anyway. there is nothing like seeing it going together to help visualize the final product and that inspires upgrades and changes on the fly. I prefer to just start working and I get my wife in to bounce ideas off of along the way. That seems to be the best way for me. I will show some sketchup stuff down the road though as that can be a great tool to get started.

    I'm wondering if the plywood you used is 1" or 3/4"? When you were building the stairs...did you build the storage boxes to fit storage bins and if so, did you find a particular bin that fit and where did you purchase them? I would suggest for anyone planning to build the stairs to prime and paint while the plywood is still in sheets before assembly. Thanks and good work.

    • @SSLFamilyDad

      3/4" plywood. I never pre paint because I like to cover the screw heads and cracks between boards with paint in the final position. Makes everything look like one unit instead of separate boards

    The only thing I see is that screws are bearing all the weight. Screws don't have very good shear strength. I'm planning to do something like this but I'm going to notch out the 4x4 to put the load of the 2x6s on the 4x4. Then screw in like you did, just to hold things together.

    • @barnieb1961
      @barnieb1961 7 років тому +4

      Inktronics Blog Hello, just to relay some information obtained from a Building Engineer; because we built a huge bearing header and used screws instead of nails to fasten the boards together our building inspector did not want to pass the build so we ask our engineer to help us out. He informed the inspector that the screws have a shear strength of 800 lbs each and we passed our inspection.
      For framing a building structure your method is the only way allowed and super strong.

      Inktronics Blog This was many years ago so I'm sure they were what was available i.e. Drywall screws. Even if the shear strength is only 100lbs each it is still strong enough with that many screws. Again your way would be super strong!

    • @SSLFamilyDad
      @SSLFamilyDad  7 років тому +2

      +Inktronics Blog I thought about nothing out the post as also using a half lap or box joint over top of the post but in the end went the easy route. I would argue that a modern deck screw has the same shear strength as a 16 penny nail. Maybe I should do a video strength test:(

    • @whitec59
      @whitec59 7 років тому +2

      Why rely on the shear strength of the screws at all and just support the weight by placing the post under the frame? better safe than sorry. I always see people assemble decks this way. That's why building codes exist.

    Question: It seems like mostly everybody I've seen on UA-cam building loft beds screws it into the wall some how. I wanted to build a loft bed that would just stand on its own. Do you think if I used 4x4 timbers as legs and bolted everything in with big bolts that would be study enough to not move around?

    • @SSLFamilyDad
      @SSLFamilyDad  6 років тому +1

      Yes I think that would work just fine. Use a few carriage bolts through the 4X4 posts and it would be just like a deck

      for a freestanding structure you might benefit from some diagonal bracing to prevent wobble.

    • @SSLFamilyDad
      @SSLFamilyDad  6 років тому

      Possibly but this thing is solid. With it anchored to the wall it does not move at all

    • @WiresOutMyEas
      @WiresOutMyEas 6 років тому

      Yeah youtube does not handle nested comments well... anchoring to the wall prevents any sort of lateral motion. But if it were not anchored, John's freestanding version for example, some diagonal bracing would help bring back some of the rigidity he'll lose by skipping on the wall anchors.
