DIY Loft Bed Plan
These plans are for a Twin XL loft bed plan (which will fit over a queen bed). To change this plan into a regular Twin-sized loft bed, simply convert all boards marked as 81” down 76” (including the plywood).
Shopping list:
2x4 8 ft long (12) posts, rails & base support
2x6 8 ft long (3) bed side rails
2x2 8 ft long (2) cleats
1 in. sheet plywood cut at 39”x81”
2 1/2 in screws (approx 80)
Helpful tools:
Circular saw
Sander
Drill
Cut list:
* 4 - 2x4 @ 65” - posts
* 5 - 2x4 @ 81” - side guardrails (4) and floor frame support (1)
* 2 - 2x6 @ 81” - bed rails
* 2 - 2x2 @ 81” - cleats
* 2 - 2x6 @ 42” -bed rails on ends
* 5 - 2x4 @ 42” - guardrails on ends
* 1 in plywood cut to 39”x81” (I then had that cut in half so it would be easier for me to move around on my own).
Jessa, the thing that strikes me the most is how articulate and mellow your children are in all situations. No matter what, they just roll with it because you are so calm and down-to-earth. I love that about you and your family. You treat your children like little people and they rise to the occasion each and every time. I love to sit back and listen to their little conversations and their perspectives on the world. You are a wonderful mother and a beautiful person. We need more people like you in this world. You amaze me with your fearlessness, creativity, and carpentry skills.
Maybe cuz mama (Michelle) was a good example!
Agree with this wholeheartedly 💕💕💕💕💕 perfect wording!
@@Psalm1_0731 I think this skill is uniquely Jessa
Nice job on the bed..they will love it for many years to come.
@@Psalm1_0731 no Michelle was not a good mother she just kept shooting out babies for the older girls to bring up.
Wow... this girl straight up built a bed on her own!!! You go girl!!!!!
Which is why you must never underestimate girl power
She's amazing. Her sisters can do the same. Duggar girls are definitely self sufficient.
Her Dad is Awesome... if you watch the earlier footage of their show, prior to marriage. Her Dad taught ALL the kids, construction and they know plumbing and electrical as well..... HECK..... her family built their house and only hired outside help when they really needed...... and Her Mother, is nothing to snooze at either.
But
WOW !!!! Ivy got so big !
Awesome job!
Girl power! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Jessa you continue to amaze me how you fearlessly attack projects and it's just inspirational! Also love how you involve your children to make it a teachable moment! 💗💗
I agree!! Love it 🥰💗
Same
I agree.
I, too, am thoroughly impressed. You saved a lot of money, your darling kids were so interactive with you. Just a reminder of love in action!!
Jessa is the type of person you’ll call or text and ask what’s shes done today and she’ll just casually be like “oh yeah I built a bed frame, a table and cookies from Scratch “ 😂
Spurgeon was so excited to share his bed with Henry and that was so cute🥺
That was the sweetest thing ever 😭
Yes it was
Loved that! Such great kids! Good parenting.
Have you ever thought about Highlights in your hair? Would look cute with your eyes. Not pulled through a cap- but Foil highlights?
The cutest little thing I ever did see!
“Well, this is gonna be a fun day”
Too cute!☺️
Spurgeon did a great job being the camera man/Narrator ☺️
Yes he is so cute!!☺️☺️☺️☺️
@@caylinduva4792 🥰
@@TheHawkinsNest if you watch counting on do u know if they are coming out with other episodes or another season because I love watching that show??!
He’s so funny!
@@sheilas1283 Yeah He Got Me Laughing
Loved seeing Spurgeon's enthusiasm throughout the whole process!
It was so dang cute!!!!!!
Wow!! Impressive Jessa!! See what happens when you grow up Duggar? Jessa simply cruised over to the local lumber store without her spouse and simply built the bed she couldn't find during her search. Duggar girls are Godly, gifted & gorgeous.
Yes, Amen!!😍😍😍
“Well, this is gonna be a fun day, cause look what I’m doin’, helping mommy build a bunk bed!” Every time I see your videos I’m struck with the fact that you love your children uniquely and completely and, they...you. You remember each of them and their special traits or favourites and you always truly seem to be enormously happy every video! Your children are equally as happy. I know it’s impossible to be happy 24/7, but y’all get as close as is humanly possible! My wish for you and your family is to remain ever close your entire life. Let little things fall way like chaff and nurture the grain. You do these things already.
Great job! If you drill several holes in the plywood base, you let the mattress breathe, preventing mold. I learnt the hard way, when I had my young son's mattress on the floor, waiting a few months to find the right bed. Dad explained how that was the reason he drilled holes in the plywood bases of all the beds on the boat he built. I'd never wondered why -- who knew we lost moisture at night, that went into the bed?
I saw a van-life video, where the couple found thick mold under their mattress that also sat on a solid plywood base, due to no holes.
Spurgeon's "unsightly" explanation ...!!! Oh, man, that was priceless. xo
Really good tip thanks.
The loft is really impressive and it looks great, but I would definitely advise putting metal brackets along the sides for extra support, adding a couple cross slats, and securing the plywood, especially with kids jumping on it.
I think that is a good idea about the brackets etc.
I agree 1oo % as you don’t want anyone getting hurt.
Wouldn't be surprised to see Jessa build a new room on the house. With Jana's help they could get it done in no time.
Right !! And the brothers. And my guess, is they probably will.
They're amazing. I only know of one other woman personally who could do that, and she had 13 children. She literally remodeled her own kitchen. She also painted murals in their basement playroom of Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse scenes (an artist).
LOL! Especially since they'd come a long way from the "herd of turtles" that worked together to build a house.
Yep. And the kids will take video of it while Ben just stands there
@@ashaburtell9910 Why would you make such an unkind comment about Ben? He seems to be a hands-on dad. He's a kind and decent person and he loves his family. Don't understand the snark.
Great Job! I’m seriously impressed with your building skills! Had I built the bed, I wld have been afraid for my kids to sleep in it LOL i can barely hang a shelf🤪
This comment is killing me 🤣
Me too 😂😂
😂💀
Samee
Pffttt!!! What's a power drill?!?! 😂😂
Great tutorial for the bed and congrats to Ben on becoming a pastor.
I would suggest putting a couple supports under the plywood because the plywood will start to bellow with more weight even with thick plywood. Also would suggest anchoring to the wall for more stability since its for your kids!
Wow! I’m impressed I can’t even build a bird house! Looks so good!❤️
LOL! Same here!
She really outdid herself on it👍🏽
She made it look so easy ! What a girl ! I loved it !
You are just seriously the coolest! Not only did you build your kid’s a bed with your own bare hands, you let them help! I always love how you allow them to help you and learn side by side. I really struggle in this area! Awesome job! ❤️
Did I seriously just see you build a loft bed from scratch...By yourself!?!? You should be the poster woman that women can do ANYTHING! And to do it with two little boys wanting to help as well...I don’t know how you stay so calm and focused. Spurgeon’s camera skills were great and I loved his narration. A lot of times parents start out wanting to do fun projects with their kids but they wind up in tears and frustration - you, amazingly, kept it fun the whole time and it’ll definitely be something positive that Spurgeon will remember for a long time! Excellent work!
The boys are so well behaved. They are just so cute!
Damn this girl has some serious skills and your oldest is becoming very good at vloging! cheers from Perú
Agreed with all of this!!!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
⭐️ Nice just make it yourself! I love that you just took it upon yourself to build it! Many people think it’s hard for women to do this which obviously isn’t true. It looks amazing! Even looks Store bought! Btw love your family! ❤️your kids are so smart and cute.
Nicely done Jessa! You & those "little helpers" of yours got right on over to Lowe's, got what you needed, built a bed & put it together & put together a totally adorable & functional bed to use for years to come.
I never heard any yelling, 1,000 questions, potty breaks & melt downs!
You're a triple threat girl! You can build a bed, be a great mommy & edit the heck out of your videos!
Nothing but love from me.
I forgot to mention how beautiful Jessa is
& She's always been one of my favorite sisters. (Tied with Jana)
So industrious. So cute when Spurgeon said. This is such a fun day. So sweet.
Little Spurgeon reminds me so much of his dad when he speaks.
Totally does!!!! So sweet!!!!
Henry: “Can I help?”
Jessa: “Yeah, hold my purse.”
*Proceeds to play with purse. 😂😂😂
😂
There needs to be pro woman merch that says, "Want to help? Hold my purse.." 💪🏻
Bravo! Jessa you prove that woman can have a vision and build what they need. Love how you have the children learning skills by helping. Very nice lofted bed!
You can say what you want but all of those Duggar kids are resourceful....God bless them!
Well done! So fun to watch. You are a wonderful role model for today’s young women!
And men.. Makes them want a real wholesome woman and not just a trophy wife
Jesse is both.
She’s is an unbelievable carpenter. WTG
She's basically Jesus
Jesse continue to find teachable moments with your children. You're an amazing young lady.
I LOL when he asked about helping you pick out the lumber. You said “here, hold my purse for me” and his reply “it’s a fun day.” OhMYgoodNESS…so funny😊
I must admit I've been feeling a little down. I'm clinging to the promises of Jesus. I needed to see your beautiful video. Thank you! ❤
When you’re down just try to think about how much Jesus loves you. We have someone that adores us so much so that he would endure what He did, just for YOU. I know this life will still get us down. I just try to think about that when I get down. We know how our stories end up. Thankfully He tells us what’s ahead in His word.The devil does NOT win! ❤️😃
Hope that you start to feel much BETTER Really soon !!!!
God bless you
That turned out amazing! I love how you can build a bed like that because your parents involved you all in the building of the Big House 🏠 It’s really an amazing skill to have and unfortunately most parents don’t teach their children to build things! You are an incredible Mother and your kids are really lucky to have you as their Mom! Stay safe and healthy 🙏 God Bless 🙏
You are a Super Mom! Not only did you give birth to these 2 cuties you built them a bed to have sweet dreams in. ❤
This goes to show that Jim Bob and Michele did more then teach their kids how to cook and make babies🙄 she literally just saved hundreds of dollars building that her self because her parents taught them how to use tools and be handy. Good Job Jessa.
yes those kids has learnt a lot from theyre parents👍👍👍👍🤗🤗
Exactly what I was going to say! “She’s just a machine to make babies to them” SMH 😒
Mic drop.
I wish more people would realize this.
Yes. I love the Duggar’s and I dislike how people only talk about how many kids they have lots of people have large families and anyways most of the girls don’t have a lot of kids. Any ways they take care of their kids so it should be no one Business how many kids they have.
This is what growing up Duggar does! They raised nice kids with great life skills who now as adults are passing those values and talents onto their own children! 🙌🏻
Oh, don’t we all have “under the bed messes” like this! Some worse! Guilty!! Great job Jessa and boys!
I’m always so impressed with how handy Jessa is!! Nice job lady ❤️
If I had those skills my son would have a treehouse.
My Dad couldn't even make a Tree house for me, eventually he did but I think he had a lot of help. He only did it because my Mom got mad and threw a fit and told him his daughter wanted a tree house and to figure it out.
She built their treehouse in the backyard, too! Go Jessa 👏🏻
I am in awe. How did you do all this with kids along even? I would have been sweating and on the verge of tears through this whole project. You are amazing.
Great job Jessa. You could seal the wood with vegetable oil, bring out the natural color and preserve the wood. Proud of you! Spugeon will always remember you making his bed.
Jessa, I love how you let your boys help. They are so good and it is because you include them.
Hey Ben! You have an amazing wife. Not only is she beautiful but she is also smart, handy, talented & self sufficient. Great job Jessa!
I don't think I've ever seen any other women, besides you and your Sister Jana, that were so talented with building stuff. You absolutely amaze me at how skilled you are. Spurgeon is so cute with narrating the video. Such cute boys.
Yes it’s definitely great to see! I’m a handy woman as well and it’s nice to see more women picking up skills like this and don’t rely on a man to do it for them haha.
Wow Jessa can’t believe how beautiful that turned out Spregeon loves his loft such a fun project y’all did together
Absolutely Amazing and creative use of space. Each of your children have a space of their own to sleep and hang out. 💖😀
Spurgeon is seriously cute and all of your kids are awesome helpers. I love your videos.
Jessa, I love how HANDY you and Jana are!! Also love how your husband just stood there and watched while you carried in that big, heavy side!! 💪💪💪💪
Superwomen!! Who needs a man?? LOL
Right!??!!
Here honey, you watch the baby while I build a bunk bed 😂😂
@@laurasgarden3205 LOL exactly!!! 😭😭
I honestly love how many houseplants you have, absolutely stunning and really lives up your home!!! 🪴🤍
I wish I could keep my plants alive 😂😂😂🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Q app a1a apa@sL }
I had an itty bitty room in college with a high vaulted ceiling, so I built myself a loft bed so I'd have more room! It worked out really well and was much cheaper than buying something. Projects are so fun! Great job on this!
Wow Jessa you did an excellent job, so happy for you and your family 👪 ❤
I love when spurgeon had the camera lol ❤️. Good job Jessa looks great.
I love that y’all can build the beds....And that your a young lady showing these millennial generation how it’s done! God Bless and as always.....your kids are adorable!
Do you even know what age group the millennial generation is? 🤣 You would be referring to the Gen Z population. I’m 37 and I would be considered Millennial where my birthday falls.
Aubrey Clary , My bad, the millennial age group is constantly changing. I’m referring to those young men who are in the 25-33 year olds. As of this year it’s defined as Gen Y.1 = 25-29 years old (around 31 million people in the U.S.). This doesn’t mean that all guys or girls fall into the status quo at this age. However it seems that the more pampered and undisciplined fall into the lazy and lacking in domestic or needed skills to survive. Good parenting and Godly principles taught and instilled at a young age along with teaching basic skills will help generations to come! Also lots of Love and parents living out a good example is key. I wasn’t trying to offend anyone because my son escaped The Millennial “ stigma “ only by hard work and lots of prayers going up on his behalf and teaching him Gods ways.
Aubrey Clary , something tells me that you escaped the status quo! Again my apologies and God Bless.
You amaze me. How do you know how to do everything??? Your veryyy talented 😀
Spurgeon is litterallyyyy hilarious...hes adorable!
Great you involved your child as you did this project, boys are learning as they grow. Safety was a big thing on your mind, Jessa, sanded wood, sunk screws, and height of side rails. You are a super saver and creative. Not afraid to put the extra time and effort into making it look good too. Great idea.
You are so resourceful, knowledgeable and talented Jessa!! You’re an inspiration😁👍
And you’re also an excellent Mom. You are blessed, and a blessing!💗🌸
I would love an updated house tour!!!
WOW, that bed looks so professionally built Jessa!! I love it!! Very impressive the way you built that and the kids loved it!
You’re so talented Jess’s!! It looks beautiful!!! I was planning to look for bunk beds once my youngest son turns 2 but now I’m feeling inspired to build lol! Great job💕 btw Spurgen was such a good camera man 😊
What about Ivy? Where does she sleep?
@@labab1048 I'm assuming she still sleeps in a crib in Jessa and Ben's room. I wonder if they have plans to move or add on once she gets older and/or they have more children.
@@MaryTheresa1986 They will need to add on or move for sure.
your boys are so sweet and intelligent! watching them grow up is such a pleasure. spurgeon is becoming such a good vlogger ☺️
Just a recommendation put holes through the ply (router them out maybe), prevents the mattress getting damp. Awesome job love from 🇦🇺
I have never seen holes drilled in platform beds for adults. Is that just a precaution for young children who might wet, or a common design flaw?
It's always nice seeing parents and children working together on home projects. :)
Education isn't about WHERE you learn, it's about WHAT you have learned. Thank you very much Jessa for showing the world how well educated you are.
Jessa, the bed turned out great!!! I love how excited the kids were! They are so adorable!
Spurge looks so cute in his blue hat, blue coat, joggers helping Mommy and living his life. Your kids are so cute.
He did an amazing job I knew you could build that Jessa. After all all you wonderful Duggar children built your home. You’re an awesome gal
Lol poor lil spurgeons shoes are on the wrong feet.
Jessa, I love your ability to craft such things. I've told you many times, and I don't mind telling you again that you've always been my fave duggar. That's really hard to say bc I love your family & have watched since y'all were just tv specials on TLC lol.
You did a wonderful job on that loft!! ❤❤❤
Spurgeon speaks so well for his age, I'm amazed!
Lots of blessings to your beautiful family
U Did A Great Job On The DIY Bed! & If U Want To Later Down The Road; U Can Always Paint Or Stain It! 😇 Pray That Y'all Have A Very Blessed & Prosperous Week! 😇💖😘💋😇
Jessa can do anything. I'm endlessly impressed. My 93 yr old Mom was like that when she was young. She converted our garage into a bedroom by herself. I was impressed.
Great job, Jessa!! I’ve been wanting us to get bunk beds recently, but am intimidated by making them (or buying them! 😳). This was inspiring! You go girl 👊🏼 Also, just from a paranoid mom, I thought I’d mention that you may want to tie the cords on the blinds up (or tuck them up top) now that your kids have a way to reach them ❤️
You have skills! Love how you teach your little ones throughout the day!
You are such a smart young woman, Jessa, and a wonderful mother. I like your videographer, he did a great job! Please keep on doing your videos, they are so good and I know I'm not the only person who enjoys them.
Jessa, you're amazing! So great for your children to share this experience with you and learn too. They can be so proud of their Mommy!
Way to go Jessa! And Spurgeon the filmmaker was fun to watch!
Looks great. Jessa, you are great at DIY projects.
I am so impressed. I have been watching people build things on KRplus and you did an amazing job.
You did such a good job on this! It was neat to see that you did it yourself instead of waiting for someone to do it for you.
I’ve been redoing my house , room by room, and I am loving it ✨🤍✨ so much fun👏🏻 you remind me of my sister’s and I, we do the work ourselves ☺️ Great video, Jessica✨
Great!! Y'all can come help me at my house!!
@@darlabingham7730 I totally would☺️
Terrific job I really like the way you let the kids help. I raised my seven kids for years on my own. I too was able to build and create and play with my kids. Large families really benefit from mom at home. My sons learned strong skills and my girls learned there are not girl and boy jobs just things that need doing. I am proud of the adults they have become
Spurgeon is such a smart kid, and very well versed.
I aspire to be you! I would have been so intimidated by going to Lowes. I love that you can take on these kinds of projects.
My kids favorite part of Lowe’s is the cart riding! 😆 so cute!
Looks like the ladder is no deterrent for little miss Ivy Jane!! I love how she just tags along.and keeps up with her 2 big brothers. What a joy she is I loved watching you all build the bed as well. My father used to watch Thus Old House on PBS on Sunday afternoons, and ever since I really find watching people do woodworking calming. Great video.
I disregard the ads cuz I enjoy watching ur channel. A far cry from ur perspectives as a single young girl... ur now a dedicated, bright, fun, Wife & Mom. 💞 There's no beating older sis though 😉
💐
Way to go, Jessa! It turned out really good! 💕
Rockstar mama getting it done! ❤️☺️ I might have to steal this idea for my kiddos!
Thank you for sharing. You are an inspiration to young mothers.
Spurgeon cracks me up! Great camera man! Great job Jess
I love Ivy’s independence! “I want down”, so cute!! 💖
I think they need a bigger house.
Jessa’s parents started off in a small house but as they multiplied their houses became bigger. 😌
That looks awesome! And you made it seem so easy lol
I can't believe with all your siblings that you not bring a brother/ sister with you! Girlpower!!😁
It always makes my heart happy to see women who have been taught this stuff !!
I love watching you complete these projects 💜✨ I would literally walk into Lowe’s not even knowing what I need or the right measurements 😩😂 you’re so smart ✨🥺
I know I was like wait..they will cut stuff for you 😅 this was truly amazing
This was so awsome. Now I'm determined to impress my husband with something like this. Lol
Amazing you did a great job and the excitement on the boys faces was so lovely. I loved the way you made the end of the bed a ladder so clever.x
Great job Jessa !! I am so impressed with the great job you did!!! You are beyond handy.. the boys are so happy with their new bunk bed.. your family is beautiful! Love all your videos. 👍♥️
That was impressive, great job!
