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!

Just from a father with a youngster on a double bunk ..... the idea of a climbing wall is cool, but in the early hours of the morning with he has a huge wee, that wall will equal frustration or a nice tumble. 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.

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 :)

Or a bucket on the side of the bed? :whistling:
