    Seriously who could unlike this video. Dude going out of his way for his kids and providing in my opinion the best loft build video on TH-cam. Great video

    Fantastic idea. We've been looking to give the kids more rm in their bedrms. Our daughter plays piano and likes to practice on the keyboard. Underneath is the perfect place. Our son plays drums and needs space for his electronic drums. And we (parents) enjoy the peacefulness and space in our livnrm. I bow to thee!!

    Bravo on the simplicity and explaining the tools and screws. Juuuuust a touch over-built though, you could prob park a car up there lol. That loft is lasting longer than the shed. OH get some torx or squarehead screws and give them a try. You'll never drive another phillips ever.

  • @yardmansurfer

    Thanks you brother, this is exactly what I wanted to do in my my house, one for loft bed and another for a loft area above my entry door. Thank you, I learned a lot.

  • @buckwilliams8065
    @buckwilliams8065 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    hi, buck here, i loved your project, however i want to add a suggestion. on your ladder to the upper bunk deck, it needs to be at right angles to the dismount/mount to the upper deck, the kids need to approach the ladder from one side or another so that they are not extending facefirst or backwards to get onto the ladder but from the side so tthat they can see where they are going to land or step onto, if you look at industrial safety ladders you will see that the dismount is to either side than over the top of the ladder, example, if you are dismounting from your roof of your house onto a ladder you need to be able to see where you are placing your feet to going rather than backing blind to a potential fall point, its just the way your brain works, you need a place to one side or the other to place your butt, to be stable or to step from, i spent 60 years as an industrial millwright/machinist and have been up many hundreds of yards of safety ladders and i always felt safer stepping sideways onto a landing, good luck, i added your build onto my bookmarks, thanks buck...

  • @melodyhampton6725
    @melodyhampton6725 6 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    The light is so close to kids and pillows (pillow fights) and horseplay it would worry me. Maybe a different type light or a case type item over that light. You did a fine job making the loft.

  • @YouBazinga
    @YouBazinga 6 ปีที่แล้ว +18

    Always take measurements on the exact installation position. Take into consideration that there are no perfectly flat walls or ceilings and no perfect square angles between them.

    @scottsatterthwaite4073 ปีที่แล้ว

    You can also use structural screws. They are available in different sizes, lengths, and colors and either hex or torx head. They don't require pre-drilling but I would recommend two screws per stud.

  • @F-J.
    @F-J. 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Love it. But I would round and sand the top of the ladder. Maybe a hand rail against the wall.

  • @petert8931

    A minor point and 7 years late, but relocate the light or change it as it's a pending accident

  • @simondelaney5694
    @simondelaney5694 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Looks awesome bro, just a thought, get yourself a bevel, cheap ones are about $7, that way you could of used it to make the angle top and bottom without needing ply or some the right thickness and marking top and bottom can be done without the ladder in place. But anyway great job

    Is it bad that I'm 20 and considering doing this? I think there's a stigma around loft beds being only for kids, but I think it's great for space and I can have my desk computer set up underneath. Amazing video, kudos.

    • @jazminarguello5835
      @jazminarguello5835 7 ปีที่แล้ว +22

    • @AlexQuiroz
      @AlexQuiroz  7 ปีที่แล้ว +27

      Hahaha Jordan Aaron Smith that's funny Man! To be honest aren't we all kids at heart?! I wish I had this when I was young and to be honest I get a kick out of climbing up there all the time! I can see myself being 70 and still wanting a loft bed and a swing in my bedroom! Thanks for checking the video out and for the comment!

    • @Quickblood1
      @Quickblood1 7 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      There's probably a stigma I mean nothing quite screams 'you're not getting any' like a high up single bed with a ladder attached but they can be done for adults. I've seen doubles with stairs.
      If I buy a studio flat I'd definitely considering having one and I'm 36. I think I'd probably have support beams though for my peace of mind.

      @69Dewman69 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      I know this is late...but I just came across this. This is massive overkill. I've built beds like this and beds with supports using 1x4. He build this strong enough to put a waterbed on. While I agree with 2x6 along the sidewalls, The rest can be made using 1x4 fro cross supports with 1x6 along back wall and front face.

Although the base is the same we have done the safety rail slightly different and decorated it in line with my little girls love for pink and all things girly. Wish i could post a picture! My husband is not a 'diy'er but this gave him hope that he could make something great. Thank you 😊

  • @wildhorse4
    @wildhorse4 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Then when you installing the bottom plywood just set up your steal scaffolding with 4' cross bracers and remember to count the 22" for the aluminum I beam and 4x6 on edge to give it that strength to hold it up! And if you are un sure you can throw a few steal shoring up in between the I beams jus to beef it up!
    And please don't for get to clip it!! We don't want some random shoring dropping and hitting some one in the head. Buy this point it should be safe enough to start screwing in the plywood, remember to use your hard hats and eye protection and ear plugs!

    Judging from when you were screwing in the 2nd Lag Bolt they are at least 4" in length but not sure on the thickness. Thank you!
