Loft beds may look similar to bunk beds but they do not serve the same purpose. These loft bed plans are designed to provide additional space in a child’s bedroom by raising the bed, which provides additional space for a desk, cabinet, or just additional play area. Loft beds work extremely well in small bedrooms.
Always read the loft bed plans carefully and make sure that there is enough information provided for you to be able to complete the project - before you invest in materials. Some of the loft bed plans are excellent, giving a great deal of instruction in text, pictures and drawings while some of the other loft bed plans are only drawings and still others are only sketches.
As well, some of the loft bed plans, require a woodworking shop that is outfitted with a good selection of stationary power tools such as a drill press, jointer and thickness planer.
These loft bed plans are for the novice to intermediate woodworker or handyman.
