I don’t see a problem.
Yeah. I gotta say I came in here to see what the problem was. These things support a ton of weight and, while it may not be beautiful, it isn’t going anywhere.
Yeah I was expecting them to be zip tied or some shit. I’d do jumping jacks on this zero hesitation as long as it’s supported to a stud.
I wouldn’t mind some kind of lip around the edge of the board holding the mattress but it’s not gonna go anywhere. That would mostly just be to keep your phone etc from sliding off.
Lmao I just realized I’m reinventing the jail bunk
I’ve only been here a few weeks but OP looks like the GallowBoob of Lemmy.
Lemmy is actually only 3 people. Picard, pugjesus, and flyingsquid. Every other user is just an alt for one of us.
Don’t forget @fossilesque@mander.xyz and @cm0002@lemmy.world

I find the rampant star trek memes a pleasant addition to my life
TPM is nothing like that leech. They just post a lot
You gotta drill some vent holes in the plywood so the mattress doesn’t get moldy, but otherwise this is a valid set up

This will last 100 years. The flatpack bunk beds you buy for $259.99 may last til thanksgiving.
“cozy feel, utilities not included, $2400/month”
“Lots of storage space!”
Looks better than the loft bed I built in college
Yeah same here. It’s a wonder we didn’t kill somebody.
I studied mechanical engineering so if I had killed someone with my bed frame then I might have felt some obligation to switch majors.
CS major here. It’s hard to kill people with com…. wait never mind. 🤣
Props on the successful build then. There have been a handful of moments where I’ve cringed in fear while watching a software engineer use power tools.
If it’s stupid and works, it isn’t stupid.
this isn’t stupid though, it’s effective and practical.
The old axom however is a flawed notion. If it’s stupid and it works, it’s still stupid and you’re lucky you didn’t hurt yourself.
Those are steel scaffolding poles and clamps…even has end caps. As long as the clamps nuts are torqued correctly, that is not anywhere.
It’s not pretty but it’s functional. Should get some bed sheets though
Ok, what am I missing here? This just looks like a bed scratch built from clamps and poles of some kind.
Scaffolding. And the hmm is that it’s a bed made from scaffolding.
Thanks. Looks sturdy to me!
Pitch it as a modular living quarter system repairable under resource-constrained field conditions and any army will buy it (it also simplifies logistics)
A loft like this is pretty typical in a dorm type situation. Am I missing something else?
The way the bed is mounted?
I wish I had higher ceilings in my room I would absolutely do this
Looks expensive.
I mean, the clamps are ugly, and I would fear to rip my skin up. But besides that, I dig it.
why not add some ladder steps? some long bolster pillows?
looks like my mates house. Only downside I see is that you need ventilation on the mattress or it will mold.
