Nice and GI pipes & accessories are best chosen. One suggestion would be to avoid one flange of guard towards ladder by making common by replacing elbow by Tee.
great idea and great work However I suggest to load the bed with angle brackets instead of screwing the bolts. 2nd, use the pipe ladder to support the 4th angle( without the wall's support).
Probably one of the best looking DIY beds I have seen on here, great job! Only thing I would be concerned with though is the ladder screws being in the side of the bed rail rather than underneath the corner, screws are strong but can shear and that is the corner that will get the most abuse.
The screws in the flanges on the top of the ladder are the only things keeping that bed from crashing to the floor on the outer corner. NOT SAFE in my opinion.
Really nice job I guess the latter in the front to the left of the bed is like legs for the bed so the other three sides have support good job, love it looks really good, attractive, good taste, and it looks very secure and safe ,I mean if you were over 300 lb maybe not, but children yeah it's good for your kids it's good for me okay have a great day🤗🤗🤗🤗
3 Pocket screws on the corners will shear under load, same reason you use lag screws in the studs instead of wood screws. Either add a post on the corners and secure with lag screws, or at least a bracket. The ladder is insufficient as structural support with just 4 wood screws per leg, it’s also only on one side. There are only 3 pocket screws supporting the smaller side of the frame. Another bracket would help transfer the load to the side with the stairs. But you still need a more solid structure for the ladder. As you note, it’s flimsy to begin with. Put enough load on the ladder and the stairs will buckle in the middle. As a mechanical engineer, this does not get a seal of approval. This is, however, a great starting point. Just some more structure required.
The design is not safe from the engineering point of view. Two weak points: screws attaching the ladder to the side board needs to be replaced by bolts going all the way through the side board and reinforced by a backplate. As this point has to carry entire weight of a person (plus dynamic load). Has to be designed to carry 500lb at least… Also the frame has to be reinforced as the corners (especially one at the right side of the headboard) can be subjected to the full load as well. And 3 pocket screws are not sufficient to hold it. Please consider it as “purely decorative”.
The wall mounted part is a bit secured but the corner part; the pipes connected by screw in wood panels as support? It may not last for long. I won't let my daughter to sleep to one. However the concept is good and could be improved.
Thanks for that....I am just drawing up plans to build a floating bed (size = full) for my self as I live in a small apartment.. what are the dimensions of your daughters bedroom please include L,B,H including celing to mattress (head room) and under bed to floor.... In the uk our rooms are 8ft celing to floor... Much love from Alford aberdeenshire Scotland uk.
I'm not familiar with UK building codes. This was anchored according to framing building codes in the United States. I don't have a clue what they are in the UK and highly recommend you check what you have and see if it will work. In the United States there are 2x4 studs in the wall 16" on center. It has to be anchored to every stud in order for this to work. I do not have all the exact measurements at the moment and will get them to you as soon as I can. The ceiling to floor is 8ft with the bed placed in the middle. So it sits about 4ft high. equal space on top and bottom. The frame and mattress is about 8" thick (depending on your mattress size this will be different.) Before I built this I put tape on the floor outlining the dimensions of a standard twin mattress. Then placed tape half way up the wall (length and width of the mattress) sounds stupid but definitely gave me a good visual of what to expect before even trying it! Most definitely check on the framing in the UK. I have seen videos online for this style for larger sizes mattress and that maybe more helpful for your needs! I hope this helped! :)
Hey. Thanks for the video. I am making one of these for my daughter for Christmas. Are those 2x6's for the frame? What length screws did you use? Thanks
Cool idea, but structually it seems like a death trap? No continuous structure through the ladder, or pole holding the corner up? If someone runs into the ladder it would just fold, and the bed Come crashing down. Take care
To prevent 'painful bruises', I'd recommend wrapping the 'safety rail' with 'pipe insulation foam' or a pool noodle. Moving the ladder to the foot of the bed would really enhance the appearance of the bed floating. And, instead of the your 'pipe ladder' design, I'd make a combo side-by-side ladder & bookcase unit.
Well that's fine and that sounds really really nice but that's your bed this is her bed this is the way she wants it you're describing your bed and we're not even talking about you bed we're talking about her bed be nice she did a beautiful job I'm loving it🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

My concern is to secure the bed dont use screw, instead use anchor bolt and stair its okey but screw is not safe, rather use bolt for more strenght and the attachment of your steps to more bolt go thru that metal base.
Question, please? HOW, exactly, did you screw the final 2 pieces? 3? Of mattress-slats to the frame? Where was your body? Did you fly up there + hover above??? Nice clean concept, great execution!!
Great video! I just have a couple of questions after watching this... How big was the panel for the headboard? At what height did you mount the bed? Thank you! Subscribed :)
This is the best video with ideas that suits me. And I’ve watched many.
Thank you sincerely…❤
With a tiny bedroom and little space for a large desk, this is exactly what I've been looking to do!

What was the size of the finished mattress area? Is the ladder the support for the outside
Love the design. Very simple and looks fantastic. Well done! 👍
THIS IS AWESOME!!! Thank you! I LOVE that you are rocking this woman!!!!!!
Awesome bed! I loved how you showed each step in detail, thank you!
This is by far the best looking loft bed I've seen and the best video, congratulations....
Nice and GI pipes & accessories are best chosen. One suggestion would be to avoid one flange of guard towards ladder by making common by replacing elbow by Tee.
We need an update. How’s this bed holding up almost a year later?
This is my bed and it's still looks brand new let me know if you want a vid on what it looks like
Excellent design with keep in mind for load distribution in low budget. 🙏🙏🙏
This is awesomeness, done a more than a few of mid sleepers for my kids and nephews. Cool vido
great idea and great work

Absolutely awesome. I think I'll do this, add legs and cover bottom with plywood for lights. Appreciate the video. Great job.
Interesting, how much wait it could take!! I doubt it has that much stability and could fell down very dramatically! :(
exactly 😒
So simple and clever and inspirational. Thanks
Beautifully done. I love the steel/wood combo ladder!!
brilliant design & crisp video. Thanks for sharing
Very impressed! You do great work! Can’t wait for more videos
Great final product! It looks awesome, nicely done.
The screws in the flanges on the top of the ladder are the only things keeping that bed from crashing to the floor on the outer corner. NOT SAFE in my opinion.
I know right? What size bolts did they use.
Beautiful work ❤️❤️
I love this idea... only thing I would do differently is make ladder completely from pipe, just a preference.👍
Any ideas on the total weight limit on this bed?
What an amazing concept!!! I am really loving it. Hope I could do this to my own home someday 😊
Is that screwing the panels on the wall enough to carry the self weight of the bed and the load on it..??
Absolutely loved your video. I definitely gave you a big old thumbs up and hit the subscribe button. Looking forward to watching more of your videos.
Hi nice piece, what size is the bed and how much weigh can it hold???
very nice congratulations.
thanks for your contributions! I M from Dominican Republic
I would have added washers to those lag bolts.
That looks awesome!
Grate job 💯👍
The bed ain’t floating anymore once I slept on that one.
Lol
oop-
Lmao I was literally thinking the same
Absolutely love this. I started a DIY page today. These are so much fun.
Thank you very much! Good luck on your DIY page! Inspire as many people as you can!!! :)
A&A Inspire absolutely. That’s what I’ve always tried to do.
Really nice job I guess the latter in the front to the left of the bed is like legs for the bed so the other three sides have support good job, love it looks really good, attractive, good taste, and it looks very secure and safe ,I mean if you were over 300 lb maybe not, but children yeah it's good for your kids it's good for me okay have a great day🤗🤗🤗🤗

Buen trabajo, hasta cuanto peso ajustaría?
Great job
Thanks for the work. Looks great.

Hi i love the design its very minimum and modern but i was wondering is there any sagging issue in the long run?
Good stuff
Very nice work.
Great work!
do you think this would be sturdy enough for a full size bed (75in x 54in)?
Great video & awesome job Keep It Rockin ✊, , I'm Working on the same type of bed now, thank you for more ideas.
What is the maximum weight capacity of this bed?
You did a fantastic job 😘
For those that have tiles floors 😢 any ideas?
Using french cleats would simplify this project greatly
subscribed. very nice video. you make it look easy!
Do you have a parts list? What size board did you use for the frame?
This is a good video. I should subscribe! Thank you.
The wall mounted part is a bit secured but the corner part; the pipes connected by screw in wood panels as support? It may not last for long. I won't let my daughter to sleep to one. However the concept is good and could be improved.
How would you do this if your walls are concrete?
Beautiful
Wow nice floating loft bed..what a man can do also a woman can do it much better as well..i salute you..new subscriber here
This is awesome. 👌 i love your idea. Kudos.
Thank You!

Great job but I wouldn't recommend this to hold 175 or heavier doesn't look to sturdy
You are so smart!

Brilliant!
awesome!
Cool idea, but structually it seems like a death trap? No continuous structure through the ladder, or pole holding the corner up? If someone runs into the ladder it would just fold, and the bed Come crashing down. Take care
I'm thinking the metal poles being fastened into the floor are quite a solid support and structurally as sound as some sort of beam.
Please come with facts not opinions. Seems like a death trap doesn't mean it is. SMH
Great video! How high was the ladder at the top 90 degree elbows?
A priceless woman
Can u list measurement of woods?

@@pvt.2426 YES !!😜🤪😝🤪
I don't think it's safe enough :3
That's an opinion not a fact.
What kind of lumber you using?
How much for material? And was any metal used
cant wait to build something similar and end up in the basement when it collapses XD lol
hahahahahaah
costing and materials pls ❤️
Can this really hold weight?
My concern is to secure the bed dont use screw, instead use anchor bolt and stair its okey but screw is not safe, rather use bolt for more strenght and the attachment of your steps to more bolt go thru that metal base.
is that safe even if you don't use toks
How much weight can it take ????
What's the weight limit on that?
What is the weight limit on it? It seems like it couldn’t hold much more than 100lbs
Apologies for the dark ending!!! Not sure what happened :)
Thank you for the video.i hope I will make this for myself.
The frame is 2×8?
Ce lit est superbe mais il y a une chose que je ne comprends pas. Il n' y a de chevilles dans le mur? 🤔C' est quoi comme matériau le mur?
Question, please? HOW, exactly, did you screw the final 2 pieces? 3? Of mattress-slats to the frame? Where was your body? Did you fly up there + hover above???
Nice clean concept, great execution!!
Wque madera utilizaste??
What kind of wood did you use love?
how much weight would it hold?
Thank you
Thnsx alot great idea
Where did you get the galvanized pipes?
I am doing this for my channel but with legs poles under
Great video! I just have a couple of questions after watching this... How big was the panel for the headboard? At what height did you mount the bed? Thank you! Subscribed :)
I wanted to know whether it will be safe for my seven years old.
Don’t get it, it doesn’t seem safe. I would suggest a normal wood loft with stairs.
Pocket holes and wood glue?
Интересное решение.
Какой вес выдержит?
Nice
Love it
