The triple bunk bed - A superior choice for children

Have a young teen in your house who is asking for a triple bunk bed? Or maybe you are looking for a bunk bed for a small child or even for a college student. Whatever your needs are, there are many options available to fit your criteria. Here is what you need to know.

Most triple bunk bed with slides are made of wood. This type is also called a low loft bunk bed. You can find these in a wide range of colors and finishes so there is something to match just about any decor. They are also available in different heights.

A popular finish for the wood triple bunk bed with slide is a sanded effect. The classic look is wood stained or painted. If you want it to be a little different, paint it or stain it yourself. Sanding it down will create a natural grain look that is very beautiful.

Many parents choose to build their own triple bunk bed with slide because they are cheaper than purchasing one. A wood frame is much cheaper than metal. Plus, you will save on the price of shipping. However, if you are not handy with tools and/or do not have access to the building codes for your city, building a wood frame may be a better choice for you. A metal frame is probably more affordable but will require tools such as a hammer and screwdriver and a good set of plans.

On average, twin and full beds typically take about a week and a half to build using a standard lumber plan. Bunk bed plans can vary, so be sure to get a plan that is specific to what you need. For example, if the bed will have an enclosed bottom, make sure the plan includes how to support it using framing or rails. Other details to look for are the type of railings, flanges, door and windows.

A great source of information about how to build a bunk bed with slide is to search online. Some of the most popular websites for plans include Home Depot, Harbor Freight, and Homestead. Some of the plans include a free building estimate with photos, which is excellent because you can use these measurements to figure out your budget. Be sure to check out the dimensions for the bottom one inch, bottom rails, top rails, door and window locations on each bed.

A popular type of bunk beds is a laddered bed. Laddered bunk beds have two curved boards laid vertically in a frame that supports them. The benefit to laddered beds is the space they offer above the bed. The space can be used for storage, as there is no bottom bunk. Another benefit to laddered bunk beds is that they are more cost efficient because there is less material. It's also a popular option for families with children who share the room.

Some people prefer to use standard bunk bed with steps, but also have loft beds included in their children's bedrooms. A standard loft bed has three legs at the end attached to the side. There is typically not much space above the bed because it is set on top of a standard box spring. If you are interested in adding some extra sleeping space to your family's bedroom, consider investing in a sliding combination bunk bed with slide.

A sliding combination loft bed consists of a bottom bunk that rolls out from underneath the top bunk. The design features rails that guide you down the stairs once you have climbed the stairs. Once you reach the bottom, the rail will pivot allowing you to slide in the other direction. There are many different types of designs, including those with steps and those without steps.

When choosing a builder to build your triple loft bed, it's important to make sure the builder uses quality materials, including sturdy, solid plywood. Plywood isn't just used for making doors and windows; it's also used for constructing triple bunk beds. If the bunk bed builder you choose uses flimsy, particle board, the project will fail at the seams between the panels of plywood. Your builder should also use good quality, pre-cut plywood parts to make sure there are no gaps between panels.

Safety is an important factor when selecting your bunk bed builder. Each manufacturer has different safety guidelines for their products, so it's best to read all the details provided with the princess bunk bed. Some manufacturers, such as Woodard, go beyond federal and local safety codes and include extra features that make their beds safer, such as safety rails. Safety rails can prevent children from climbing up and down the ladder and contacting the bed rail or wall. Rail safety rails should be installed according to local safety requirements. When choosing a builder, make sure he or she uses quality safety rails.
