With Ryan's th-cam.com/users/postUgkxy_pn55PK60wAV3X_C_RoLS_67mNonoCE plan I was like one taken by the hand and led step by step from start to finish. Thank you very much Ryan!
I thought the convertible table was brilliant but this blows that out of the water. This would be perfect for those of us who are older and just cannot deal with the ladders or mini staircases for the sleeping loft area. Definitely going to keep this little gem in mind!! Thank you thank you thank you!
It'll work the same with a standing desk and gaming PC setup. Could lower the bed and sync up a controller or wireless keyboard n mouse, or lapdog, or whatever and game, watch youtube, netflix, etc. Should work about perfectly with a 32" or so 16:9 monitor, but I'd prefer to go 21:9 ultrawide, so I think the equivalent size in that aspect ratio is 39" Aside from that, this can/will also highly benefit a single level tiny home. Cheers, guys.
Ana White is the 10k one from a company called happijack or something? they have this dope elevator bed similar to yours but a second bed right under it that separates and can turn into two futons/bench style seats! pretty tight.. check em out
this exactly what I've been looking to do in my van! there's not enough information out there, this a similar concept to what I was going to! good job popping info out there
BRILLIANT! I've been looking for such a solution to design interior of a Hi Cube 20' shipping container home. I too saw the elegant £10k option c/w counter weights and infra red control! This fits the bill perfectly. Well done, and thank you.
I am a state of Maine license plumbing and heating contractor Also a building Contractor. I also have been Designing and building tiny homes since I was a Teenager before tiny homes were a thing. When I build I always build is if it was my own home and I always live in the home before I sell it which means I am able to do everything from start to finish from the concrete to the wiring to the plumbing heating construction. I'm not saying all this as bragging I am saying all this To give compliment to you guys because I have never come up with the clever ideas that you have. You are the most ingenious couple I have witnessed in the construction field ever And I look forward to new videos from you every time they come out because I know there will be some new clever idea in each one just when I thought that every new and clever idea must have been thought of. Please keep it up, my hat is off to you, thank you.
I’ve poured over tiny hose designs for years, this is brilliant. I’m looking at retirement and have a bad knee, tiny stairs simply do not work. I cannot thank you enough 🌺🌺🌺🌺
I'd like to build the bed frame of bamboo poles. It's a great design! Thanks for the detailed instructions. This entire build is very clever and spacious.
OMG I love this!!! Unfortunately the lift that you used doesn't seem to be available anymore. Are there any alternatives you recommend? It's been challenging to find one that lifts from all 4 corners.
Fantastic! Some ideas: There seems to be no need for 4 tracks, 2 would do just fine. Instead of an electronic lifting system, you could just have a counterweight and it would be an easy hand move to lift...
Hi there loving the rise and fall bed, and thinking of doing something similar. Could you please tell me the make and model of the electric lift system you used.
This would be a great idea for a storage loft in a tiny house. I would have some kind of convertible sofa on the main floor and use this idea for storage/crafts etc. you could make it deep enough so you could sit at it when down to do artwork, sewing etc and then just lift the “mess” up and out of the way.
I LOVE it!!! Great alternative solution to sleeping lofts where you have to climb a ladder and then crawl on hands and knees to get into bed! I hope you patent this. Why haven't more builders/designers addressed the issue of sleeping lofts with about 4.5 ft of headroom?
I think it's an amazing idea and the fact you pulled it off with simple easily available hardware is even better. I wonder if you would want to finish it up with a coat of white paint or maybe some fancy wood over the rails.
Ms Ana, this video has to be the MOST useful of all on youtube. This & your website have given me solutions for our travel trailer build, ideas that I had thought of, but you supplied the how-to. Many thanks, I'll keep watching for more of your projects.
Really love the ingenuity of your work and problem-solving! While the southern THOW designs are enjoyable to browse, ours would have to be ready for a Canadian winter, so it is exciting anytime we see a new 'Ana White' video come out with well-insulated designs and fresh ideas/innovations on a budget. Thank you to you both for your commitment to sharing with others in the TH community!
@@AnaWhiteDIY Hello Ana, Do you recall what the make and model is of the motorized lift? The Amazon link on your website says product not found. Any pointers and an updated Amazon link would be really appreciated!
Love this design. Looking to do something similar in my tiny bedroom. One thing it seems they pointedly did not show is the sound when going up and down. Garage door openers tend to be quite loud.
Well done! Instead of a garage door opener you could also look at the electric cable hoists that are available. Another option would be to have it pivot off of the wall electrically too. Just some thoughts to keep tucked in the back of your head for next time. Keep up the great work! It's way way to cold for me up there!
Another great idea. This could allow for sleeping lofts for elderly or disabled people for whom getting up a ladder, or even stairs, would be difficult.
Amazing!! You really pulled it off. You could actually put another bed under it and use the area for a sitting area during the day, and a set of bunks at night. You guys really rock. Keep the video's coming , can not wait to see your place finished.
That is a pretty slick idea. Especially the cutout for the flatscreen. This would make a nice dumbwaiter in your forever house if you scaled it up vertically. I know your stove is on ground level, but if you needed firewood upstairs, this would be a neat way to a transport. Anyhow, greetings from Texas (it's 70 here today, sorry) and keep up the good work. RM
I have been planning my own THOW and this is exactly what I needed to find. Ingenuity and DIY determination and on a budget. Do you think I could use the same general technique on a small personal elevator? If it can lift a bed it could probably lift one person right?
Do you have a manual lowering or lifting back-up in case of power outage? Love the idea, having both options would make this a great idea in many projects.
Not 100% sure here, but if you freeze frame 2:24 and look at end of green tube it “looks” like there are garage door “pin tool” holes for manual rotating. Would take forever considering you’ll only be able to move maybe 1/4”-1/2” at a time, but it’ll move.
Really cool. I've seen a bed on a track just like that in a 'toy carrier' trailer so you can have the bed up and out of the way and park your quad or whatever. You did it 'home made'. Great idea.
Such a great idea - keep creating - love that you think outside the box - and find affordable solutions! Can't wait to see it finished with furniture in it!
Every project is so exciting with your innovative inexpensive idea's. Can't wait to see the finished project. Great picture and congratulations to your Hockey Player. I think you should be crowned "Alaska's Tiny House Tag Team"
I have one room with a great dance floor, but also the best room for a bedroom. I remembered your full reveal video after searching prices for Ori Cloud Bed ($18,000 installed). Will surely be considering this option, though not sure how to handle wider walls.
Great project. You might not need a wire in each corner since you're guiding it with the door slides. If one on each end is strong enough, that might simplify your design.
I've been advocating an elevating bed in tiny homes for a long time, but all the idiots thought loft beds, and the dangerous stairs or ladder, were the way to go. If it were me, I'd have a dining area under it, to save even more space. I don't want a tiny home tho, I want it in a camper conversion. Nice job.
That bed is awesome! You said the motor will lift 250 pounds. I don't know the weight of a standard mattress. I'm assuming this would work? Fabulous idea!
Abundently Clear You only put the bed up when you are done sleeping in it. You really should only be lifting the mattress when you are storing the bed for the day...no one should be in the bed!
I absolutely love this! I'm wondering if you could provide a little more info regarding the lift itself. I'm searching however having a difficult time finding something so simple. Also have you done anything with a hand crank lift system? Please help! :) Thank you!
Love it. Will be interested to see how you manage the space underneath. Seems like the bed would interfere with most anything you could put down there.
I stole your idea and modified it some. I had just spent some time re-cabling my friend's jayco tent trailer, and it gave me an idea. It works fine, and is very cheap. Some air craft cable, a boat winch, 4 tracks, and it's done. (well, not quite, but even though it was a chore to figure out by trial and error as you go) It only needs to move about 4 feet total, so not so bad. Hardest part was getting the pulling to work properly and evenly. It winds onto 4 separate spools on a shaft, and the handle slides into a hole on the front of the bed. (the crank goes up with the bed as you raise it) The pulley is a reduction gear, so easy to crank.
now this may come in handy I've got a bad knee but need a loft due to size of structure that's allowed me, it's a rather small structure this may be my answer! thank you much!
Is there a way to raise the TV and then lower it back to it's "livingroom" position? Just curious, since it would be a bit difficult to watch comfortably when bed is lowered and your ontop of the mattress.
If you don't have power you can always use the same system that pop up tent trailers use for the roof but in this case a bed. Garage door opener is clunky imho. I e always used a hydraulic winch. Much quieter. And you can have a manual option when powers out. Costs the same
Hi White family, really like what you guys do. Very talented, dedicated hardworking people. Suggestion, try making a sleeping area slightly off the floor on a 1 ft (roughly) platform with the 'living room' floor above it (with some stairs) and a sliding door to enclose the sleeping nook when not used. The visual at 2:25 gave me the idea. So the bed is under the living area instead of on top. Would be interested in your feedback... Hope you continue to grow in your business. I would go for the low down bed idea (as an old lady ;-) ).
Good afternoon Ana, my name is Christopher and I am fascinated by your projects, I would like to ask about the bed lift motor, the name of the engine or as it is commonly known. I hope you keep uploading videos as good as the ones you currently upload. Greetings from Chile
Another great idea can be seen on TH-cam. Just search for the Tiny house village in Washington D.C. with about 5 houses. There is a house that hid the bed in a platform that is about 3 feet up from the ground floor. On the platform which is just 2 steps to get up on they did an office space and closet with other storage. Then the front of the platform there are tabs that you pull on and the bed slides out into the living room space. The layout is great! Check it out!
The rear sleeping area of a toy hauler camper use a double set up like a double bunk bed. And they have sliding seats in the bottom on the floor for a dinette eating area or in your case a type of hide away bed that could be used as a couch during the day. if stacked properly you could sleep 6 people in that one spot and run them up when not using them.
@anawhite Can we get an update on how the bed has held up after these few years? Were there any post install changes that you would have made or were made by the owner? This is a phenomenal idea. I am just curious about long term use and how it held up. From the design of the rest of the house I gather that it's more of a vacation or travel home not really a full time live in type of scenario.
That is so incredibly brilliant - congratulations!! (I didn’t get how it lifts with cables and a ram) Do your walls have cavities that the vertical rails could sit in, or wouldn’t it work that way. Since I saw your video 10 minutes ago, I want one in my sons room for his model railway track. Anyways, as I said, BRILLIANT!! WOW!
Love the idea. I guess it will complicate the building process but i wonder if its possible to hide rails on to the walls? How would this affect the insulation of the walls? Any idea?
You definitely could. The rails are really optional, we tossed around the idea of just having caster wheels hidden around the bed, so there is something for the bed to run up and down the wall on, but this tiny house is very rustic modern, so the rails are part of the design.
Could you supply a link to the garage lift, I cant find one that looks like yours. I understand the track and wheels, it's the cable motor winder system with 4 cables. Thanks
Great job putting this together. I've searched through the comments, a number of them asking for a hardware parts list, but I haven't found the actual parts list for this. Could you please post the hardware you used, specifically the tracks? Thx
I agree, would love to see some specifics on hardware - specifically the hoist. The rest I can figure out, but can't find that garage storage lift. It's quite different than any hoists I've found.
Great ideal. I want to do this in my room. Im real good at building things i just need to know where did you get the track and the rollers? What are they called?
Just a question or two for your design, which is awesome as hell! Do you have some recommended material brands that you used, or considered (Keep in mind this is from the mouth of a beginning diyer) especially due to easiest manipulation of materials or simple/direct explanations? Also have you guys experimented with a counterbalance weight for easy manual raising and lowering of the bed, or do have any ideas that may work? Also do you see this design being just as functional and usable in say a Class C Motor-home? I'd love to hear back when/if you get a chance.
Hello my friends Thanks for sharing the video I have this problem... I live in a small house and I sleep in a sofa bed This system can be my solution. the problem that in my country can not find the elevator system you know of some company that you send to my country my best regards from Patagonia Chile
How could you make something like this work in a class c motor home rv. we just got a shorter one, its going to need alot of work anyway. no way the two of us would fit in the cab over part. but I was wondering if there could be a way to "lower a bed from over the cab and fold out the sides..

If the TV is flat agains the wall the bed can be lowered past the TV and you can watch TV in bed as well. Nice!
You noticed that!!!
Awesome!
Ana White Aha!
It'll work the same with a standing desk and gaming PC setup.

So great that you guys have thought of a way to make a retractable bed more affordable.
Thanks, couldn't spend the $10K, had to come up with a solution:)

Do you recall what the make and model is of the motorized lift? The Amazon link on your website says product not found. Any pointers and an updated Amazon link would be really appreciated!
Something like a counterbalance or spring might make implementation easier (or possibly eliminate the need for the drive altogether).
I am so glad you share this. My husband is 6'6". I am constantly looking for and designing tiny, but tall to get away from that loft issue.
Awesome!

Okay ur officially the best tiny house designers - Congrats!!!!

Great project. You might not need a wire in each corner since you're guiding it with the door slides. If one on each end is strong enough, that might simplify your design.
Wow thanks guys for all these videos. I've always wanted a lifting loft bed if I had a tiny home. Maybe I'll just commission you guys when I do
SWEET!:)
Really like the idea. Maybe install the pulleys in the tracks themselves and run the tracks to the ceiling? That way the cable is hidden too.
I love how inventive you guys are... makes me wish I could have you guys build a tiny house for me...
Thank you for watching:)
your tiny houses are the best I've ever seen!
Because you make those houses so well, it must be warm even without the heater. Did not see frosty breath! How will it be heated?
I've been advocating an elevating bed in tiny homes for a long time, but all the idiots thought loft beds, and the dangerous stairs or ladder, were the way to go.

Should work just fine:) Thanks for watching!
If a person weighs 235 pounds...does it still work with a mattress?
Abundently Clear You only put the bed up when you are done sleeping in it. You really should only be lifting the mattress when you are storing the bed for the day...no one should be in the bed!
Very cool....I had always thought it would be cool to have the roof raise up so you can stand in the loft but your idea is great!

OK where did you find the garage storage lift for 200 dollars?
Another creative idea while saving a ton of money, very cool.
Thanks!!!
Certainly better value than the happijac, i'm thinking of doing the same but with 4 actuators because it's neater, downside is it's slower.
Is there a way to raise the TV and then lower it back to it's "livingroom" position? Just curious, since it would be a bit difficult to watch comfortably when bed is lowered and your ontop of the mattress.

would have been helpful to see a live (with sound) video of raising and lowering

That's amazing I'd like to add one in my dream tiny house!
Very cool idea and could be used for so many different purposes.
Thanks for watching!
15 below! Joseph and Mary and a cheese sandwich! And I grumbled yesterday morning as I walked into my shop and complained that it was 45!
Haha, we're used to it up here.:) Thanks for watching!
Do you think this will work in a Sprinter Van??!! I'm totally going to do this!!!! Thanks!!!
Very good idea. Could you please give more information about the unit sliding inside the u-channel.
I was thinking about doing the same thing with a happijac power bed lift. Thanks for the alternative
SWEET!
cool function for bed. great job
Good afternoon Ana, my name is Christopher and I am fascinated by your projects, I would like to ask about the bed lift motor, the name of the engine or as it is commonly known. I hope you keep uploading videos as good as the ones you currently upload.

Ana been watching you for years and have built a few projects of yours. It the motor that quite because I didn't hear it move. Thanks
Thanks for watching, it would need some refining to be quiet...
Always thinking outside of the box good stuff.

This is so cool, and you guys rock for sharing the video !
Thank you! Very cool idea. ❤ innovative. Appreciate it a lot.
Most welcome 😊
@anawhite Can we get an update on how the bed has held up after these few years? Were there any post install changes that you would have made or were made by the owner? This is a phenomenal idea. I am just curious about long term use and how it held up. From the design of the rest of the house I gather that it's more of a vacation or travel home not really a full time live in type of scenario.
That is so incredibly brilliant - congratulations!!
(I didn’t get how it lifts with cables and a ram) Do your walls have cavities that the vertical rails could sit in, or wouldn’t it work that way. Since I saw your video 10 minutes ago, I want one in my sons room for his model railway track. Anyways, as I said, BRILLIANT!! WOW!
Love the idea. I guess it will complicate the building process but i wonder if its possible to hide rails on to the walls? How would this affect the insulation of the walls? Any idea?
You definitely could. The rails are really optional, we tossed around the idea of just having caster wheels hidden around the bed, so there is something for the bed to run up and down the wall on, but this tiny house is very rustic modern, so the rails are part of the design.
nice job and nice looking wife.
You are AMAZING !!!!! just SOOOOO clever Thank you for your ideas and clever work ;-D
Could you supply a link to the garage lift, I cant find one that looks like yours. I understand the track and wheels, it's the cable motor winder system with 4 cables. Thanks
Here is my post that covers the components used www.ana-white.com/woodworking-projects/diy-elevator-bed-tiny-house
Great job putting this together. I've searched through the comments, a number of them asking for a hardware parts list, but I haven't found the actual parts list for this. Could you please post the hardware you used, specifically the tracks? Thx
I agree, would love to see some specifics on hardware - specifically the hoist. The rest I can figure out, but can't find that garage storage lift. It's quite different than any hoists I've found.
You are amazing! Wonderful idea!
Thanks
Great ideal. I want to do this in my room. Im real good at building things i just need to know where did you get the track and the rollers? What are they called?
We will be sharing that shortly Ron!
Just a question or two for your design, which is awesome as hell! Do you have some recommended material brands that you used, or considered (Keep in mind this is from the mouth of a beginning diyer) especially due to easiest manipulation of materials or simple/direct explanations? Also have you guys experimented with a counterbalance weight for easy manual raising and lowering of the bed, or do have any ideas that may work? Also do you see this design being just as functional and usable in say a Class C Motor-home? I'd love to hear back when/if you get a chance.
Hey I think you really have some really neat ideas there that's incredibly cool.
Thank you Clem!

Hello my friends

This system can be my solution.

you know of some company that you send to my country
my best regards from Patagonia Chile
The door opener you used who makes it, and where can you get one. Great idea.
Great idea ! Thanks guys!
How could you make something like this work in a class c motor home rv. we just got a shorter one, its going to need alot of work anyway. no way the two of us would fit in the cab over part. but I was wondering if there could be a way to "lower a bed from over the cab and fold out the sides..
