Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted July 10, 2015 Posted July 10, 2015 (edited) gonna be building my lightie one of these in the next couple of weeks... With a climbing wall as an alternative to get up there.  It's a hanging loft bed. Going to be anchored into the walls with rawl bolts (2 walls) and then have a chain going to a roof truss for the hanging corner.  EDIT: Also going to put a ladder in one corner, and give him a railing so he doesn't fall off... he has some weird sleeping positions!  Edited July 10, 2015 by Renaissance Man Long Wheel Base, Skott5, BSG and 5 others 8

If you are not going to do a ladder, maybe consider a rope to slide down or climb down with if it is knotted. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 1

If you are not going to do a ladder, maybe consider a rope to slide down or climb down with if it is knotted.Definitely going to do a ladder. And you raise a very valid point re the wee! He's just coming off nappies at night, but he has the metabolism of an i don't know what and finds ways to get more fluid into him... Some nights no nappy, some nights with nappy. A ladder is critical.
Eddy Gordo Posted July 10, 2015 Posted July 10, 2015 Maybe add a small spiral slide or firemans pole Captain Fastbastard Mayhem and Tumbleweed 2

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted July 10, 2015 Posted July 10, 2015 Maybe add a small spiral slide or firemans poleyeah. As I hit Post I saw "rope" and thought that would be superb. Climbing and descending....Â
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted July 10, 2015 Posted July 10, 2015 Also consider the odd occasion where he will fall asleep elsewhere and you have to put him up there yourself.yep. We have mini-ladders so that's going to be fine.  Also going to be a desk / play area underneath, and maybe some monkey bars on the underside of the bed jimmycool 1

Shebeen Posted July 10, 2015 Posted July 10, 2015 I have never cared so much about weather so far away... what was the forecast?
