These bunk bed plans are from Lowe’s and have a terrific style. This is an intermediate to advanced level project, but could save you hundreds of dollars and provide you with a custom bunk bed that you will be proud to pass on.

One of the nice things about plans from the major retailers such as Lowe’s and Home Depot, is that you can simply print the material list and ask them to help get everything together for you. If your child wants a bunk bed, consider this woodworking plan.

You can make your own bed!

Popular Mechanics has some terrific plans. This is no exception.

The other day, my wife found a bed sold through Restoration Hardware. I made the mistake of telling her that I needed a project to work on. She picked a big one. Here is the bed that I have been tasked with recreating:

I will be using the plan (below) from Popular mechanics to pull this off. It will take some trial and error, but it should turn out great in the end. The plan should give me some base dimensions, ideas about the construction, etc. I can tweak from there. The bed itself almost has the look of a shaker door. There is a nice bead detail that was used to edge band the plywood used for the side rails. They continued this look throughout the bed to tie the design together nicely. I will hold up much better than a veneer band on the side rail as well.
