I got these plans of a website i was researching and i was just wondering if they are good plans.

Heres the site.

Loft Beds (http://www.instructables.com/id/Loft_Beds/)

I was wondering if it would be a sturdy structure and would be able to hold my weight. Also i was wonder what type and kind of wood i should be using, like pine or something different.

Thanks.

Brett,

Welcome to the forum.

Looks like it would be sturdy enough. Use the carraige bolts like the instuctions say, and it will be very sturdy.

Pine will work and be inexpensive.

Good luck!
