I need to make some simple bunk beds for my 2 boys. Figuring to use pine from HD and joint/plane it and stain it.

Anyone have a good plan they can recommend that takes in to account being able to move it up the stairs into their bedroom then assemble it?

@edgarblythe,
I wonder if DIY Bunk Bed failure videos get more views than the DIY Bunk Bed construction videos.

If that is true, that is ironically a failure of your vocabulary.

@edgarblythe,
Unfortunately, they’re been debunked.

@Fyonice,
I have built almost every bed in 2 houses. I started using "knock down" hardware and stopped after 2 beds. No matter how heavy duty, the bed will
rack. I now use 2 techniques which are almost as easy as knock down hardware but offer a much, much more rigid frame. Both use bolts through
the vertical posts to cross dowels in the bed rails. One technique hides the bolt head and the other uses a bronze finished bolt head that is exposed but
looks nice. These beds never rack, never creak and could stand up to kids jumping on them or other nighttime activity.

The bed rails also have stub tenons that fit into shallow mortises in the vertical bed posts. This makes assembly easier and adds to the rigidit
