Re: [A/S] bunk beds
Ours was center bedroom, and the ends of the regular beds jutted up against
vertical wood walls at each end. No curves to worry about. I just made
rectangular platforms from 1/4 inch plywood attached to a lightweight wood
frame (probably something like 1x2, wood), fitted them above the lower
beds, drilled into the end walls, and bolted them in place. There was no
attachment to the wall. Fairly simple, really. We must have made mattresses
from foam rubber (this was 30 years ago, and I don't recall all details).
It was all easily removable with only two 1/4 inch holes in each end left
over. When I sold it years later I showed the buyer the setup and offered
to remove them - he wanted them left in as they were.
Our "kids" are now in their '40's, and they tell us that those camping
trips were some of the most fun times of their childhoods.
