What beds are you using for the kids please? We've gone with a similar layout to you and have the cabbunk beds but not sure how long they will last as kids are slightly older now - thanks
Yeah, we have the Cabbunk. Our kids are still young, so I'm not worrying about them not fitting for a while. Another alternative, although a lot more expensive, would be RIB Neptune seats.
With the bearings… why didn’t you put them on a side profile rather then putting them upright? They don’t lose strength if they are on side ways, right? Thanks
Brilliant absolutely brilliant love it good job mate
The bed looks good 😁
looks good ian
Thanks, happy that things are starting to take shape now.
Looks like a great solution
Thanks. It was a last minute choice to change to Spruce ply, originally we had bought Birch ply, but it's almost twice the weight of the Spruce ply.
@@TogetherWeGo I really like your efforts to reduce weight. Rarely considered but super important

Great video, what depth plywood did you use? I'm at this stage and not sure between 12mm or 18mm for an aluminium bed of similar design to yours
Thanks, we used 12mm Poplar ply, as its very light and there is plenty of support from the frame.
What size are the pillars that hold the main bed frame? Cheers
Hi, the bars bolted into the walls are 30 x 30, then the beams across are 60 x 30.

They are twice as strong upright than on their side. We did careful stress calculations to optimise the strength vs weight of the bed frame.
