View Full Version : Loft bed for child

10-02-01, 02:56 AM
My daughters new room is extremely tiny and in order to fit her things in the room, I'm considering making her a 'loft bed'. Then I can put her dresser and other stuff underneath it.
I'm thinking of using 2x6 boards for the corner posts but am concerned that maybe they won't make it sturdy enough. I would assume that I will need some kind of cross bracing along the back? I need to keep the front open so would like to know if maybe I should go with 4x4s for the corner posts instead. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Haley
