I've wanted to make one of these for my daughter but we were moving around and she was a bit young but I came here today because we are finally at that point!! Let the building commence.
INCREDIBLE video!! Everything is broken down in subsections in the timeframe, fantastic editing and subtle music with no excess. AND....a wonderful product. I'm actually changing my loft design now because of this.
I've looking for a good video on how to build a loft for a long time because all the loft beds I keep finding are either made out of metal (which I rather have wood because I think it would be easy to take care of and take down if I need to) or they were outlandishly expensive. I'm really going to consider this in the future when my family moves
Fantastic work, Taco Joe! Love this video, will be building one just like it this fall. Can't wait, thanks for a great design and the inspiration to me and many others!
out of all the videos i watched today, this deserves the icing on the cake! wow, so detailed. there were other 2 guys selling plans and all they do is yap and did not describe what they actually did. sometimes silence with some textual instruction is a lot better than ego yapping!
Beautiful project. It´s perfect for two sons and one medium large room. Obviously two studio lofts, each one in oposite corner. Big idea. Tnaks a lot for share. And for the specific data.
Currently in the process of building this! Legs and desk support done, hoping to wrap the rest up this week. I loved this build as the frame is resting on the 2x4s and bolted. Much prefer the security of you having done it this way versus pocket screws which is what many builds seem to use 😳🤯. Many thanks for posting!
thanks Blinky- me and you think alike :) - ie - Bedframe on the studs is the only way to go (IMHO) thanks for the comment and good luck with the project!
@@TacoJoesHouse Got this finished up today (been very busy recently so it’s been on the back burner). Thanks so much for the inspiration on this build. 👊
Do you mean the actual loft design? If so, the exact same thing is sold by Pottery Barn Teen… for $2000. If you are talking about the cost though, then I do agree with you
@@luiscastaneda1190the real sad part is that people buy it at that price. If no one bought it at 2k, they'd have to lower the price. And as far as loft beds are concerned, they're a niche item
This is really good. Just the right amount of detail and video speed. I really liked the garage to be honest. Trusses for extra storage and a bare block under it? Swoon.
Great video! I learned alot of tips for when I make a custom one for myself. I only wish there was some kind of narrator because I mostly do RUclips in the car when I'm driving. Still, great build.
What an incredible video!!! Please do more!! Single mom of four and desperately needing several loft beds and this video was exactly what I needed! Any ideas for two separate loft beds in the same room? Thank you again for posting!
You are thinking about it the right way - ie - how to fit 2 lofts in one room vs. trying to make them fit - LOL / You'll have unlimited options w/layout so don't hesitate to think outside the box. Definitely google "2 lofts in 1 room" and see what that search returns / I'm sure you'll see a number of different options and you can use the same concepts in my video and adapt them to different layouts. Good luck with the project and thanks for the comment!
Nice build. Gonna try this but modified for twin and with storage stairs. I’m shocked you only have 8 (9 now) subs. Your video is better than tons I’ve watched doing this very kind of bed.
Incredible. It’s so frustrating to see these very cheap beds in the store going for thousands. This is beautiful and affordable. Only very minor critique is: if you’re going to put a mattress on a piece of plywood, you’ll need an intermediate layer for air circulation, otherwise you’ll get a moldy mattress.
Nice thinking of making one for me and my wife a king sized loft with a desk so I can have space to work! Hard when two kids are running around a tiny 2br apartment! Lol
Go for it! / consider beefing up the jack studs to 2X6s and support the mattress with 1X4s vs 1X3s with the wider bed, but it definitely can be done with a king. Good luck and thanks for the comment!
Any details on the screws/bolts sizes and the cut dimensions for the desktop? Looking to build this in the next two weeks and want to make sure I have everything I need.
Any chance you have a cut sheet & hardware list? Curious on how many screw lengths you used, and did I see something like 8 carriage bolts? I'm assuming 1/4-20, but hollar back if thats wrong.
I used zinc #6 drywall screws and eyeballed the joints where they were used. Typical lengths I used.... 2x4 to 2x4: 3" 2X4 to 1XX: 1 5/8", almost always driving from the 1X side 1X to 1X: almost always 1 5/8" - but - if there was any risk of poke though, 1 1/4" Carriage bolts: 5/16" - 1/4" should be find but the head size is almost the same between the two so I went larger. CLAMP EVERYTHING AND USE WOODGLUE TOO!!!!!!!!! I also drilled pilot holes if there were knots nearby/etc (better safe then sorry) / Thanks for the comment!
The mattress bedframe is the weak point (thus the shear load of the 1x3s and OSB) as the jack studs at the 4 corners are good for more people than the bed can hold. I'll see if I can put together a calculation to share
Thank you very much for sharing, is fantastic, I'm open a student studios for rent, that need to be very affordable because today young adults have just a part time job and co-housing is a good alternative, instead to be on the street, but is impossible at the Price housings are on rent or even if I buy one. Beautiful, say to your daughter that she is very fortunate to have a great dad like you. Blessings.
It’s absolutely perfect!! Need this in a tiny size for sure!! Definitely doing my homework to make this a bit shorter and twin size for my 5 year old!! 😅 I’m not quite sure how you did the legs this is it only bolts or did you screw it all together and then bolt? Today is day 1 on this project and so far I have all my wood cut 🤗
Is there a design for this at a twin size instead? I have three kids and they all want a loft bed, but they are all twin mattress instead of full. Thank you.
Hi Javid - most of that information is the video (ie- at the start and the still shots between each section). When you go shopping, your best bet is to buy some extra wood from Home Depot/Lowes/Menards. Thank god wood prices have come down too! High level you need 1X2s, 1X3s, 1X4s, 1X8s, 2X4s and desktop material. Thanks for the comment!
This is a really perfect loft bed plans. But you didn’t specify the size of the bed legs, and about the 1×4, 2×4, 1×3, 1×8, etc., how many wooden strips should you use? I want to make a bed like this, and I hope you can answer my questions in time.thank you so much
thank so much for awesome video was wondering if you could please say how many of each board it takes to build this bed as far as how many 1x's and 2x4's ect. with prices of lumber now i would hate to buy to many just by guessing thank you again for amazing video best style and plans my family have found online

@@TacoJoesHouse thanks for reply, I was able to go through video and estimate exact material needed thank you for such an amazing detailed video my daughter loves her bed
Hi, would you happen to have a buying materials list and then a cutting list? I am building this with my son and as his mom have the very basics of skills but this is a do it together project so…. Will need more info pls
Hey dude, looks awesome! Just as an FYI though, mattresses are supposed to get good airflow where possible. Keeps moisture and allergens down, helps regulate temperature better too. Just thought it would be beneficial to the long term health of the mattress and by extension, your wallet, to consider replacing with slats instead of solid chip board :)
What an excellent comment / thanks for sharing! I am far from a mattress expert and learned something today! Perhaps in a future video I can retrofit back to slats and/or modify it to be more breathable. Thanks for the comment along with teaching me something new!
@@TacoJoesHouse maybe just put a few holes in the OSB/plywood. Here in the Netherlands (Europe) you already have holed bed plates in the Home Depot. It’s essentially the same thing as MDF with cheese grater pattern.
This is a great video but I would be even better if you provided detailed plans. I would also warn anyone outside the US to do a rough costing on the cost of all the wood used as it appears US prices are substantially cheaper than elsewhere (though that could be as a result of pandemic/supply chain issues).
Hi Darrell / all the cut lengths - lumber sizes appear between major build scenes in the video so I think all the information is there to build the loft - I could be missing something though / are you interesting in blueprints/cad drawings/etc? Appreciate the comment- thank you!
@@TacoJoesHouse Yes, I would be interested in full plans and I think a lot of other people would be too. You don't show screw and bolt placement well and complete novices like me need more hand holding.
This is quite impressive! Question: When you disassembled and spackled the screw holes, did you just choose different spots to screw into when reassembling?
Hi Joe (and Taco Joe) - same question here. I didn’t recognize that material and am curious where you got it and how you finished it. I built a desk a few years back and used 5-6 coats of water based poly with sanding between coats. It still came out like an orange peel and felt really weird. Suggestions on desk top material appreciated
I absolutely love the idea and the design. But the lumber prices in the video are WAY off. The 1x8x8 listed at $4.78 are $15. This will coast WAY more than $200 unless I’m missing something. Anybody got any clarification?
I believe this video is 3 yrs old. There has been a big price increase on lumber since the pandemic. Which also means that the particle board furniture is more expensive too.
I'll see if I can put something together - this has been a common question - the jack studs at the corners far exceed what is needed to support the bed frame so that is the weak point (ie - the mattress box) - The worst case load bearing moment is 54"/2 or 27"- to be safe you could consider a point load and distribute among the 1X3s / associated shear load. Unscientifically though, 2 adults up top and there is very little flex - its solid and the bonded 1x3s and OSB really do their job. Also - the perimeter boards also further minimize flex (screwed-glued to the 1X3s) - Maybe I can do a jump on the loft video like the slow-mo guys do and we'll measure flex or take it to failure - lol - thanks of the comment!
what do you think the likely hood of a young adult being able to use this is... I'm considering going with a lofted bed with desk underneath for myself and am unsure of whether they would hold my weight or not.. less than 250 LB for reference.
No problem w/250lbs - the key is making sure everything is plumb when you put it together and that you use carriage bolts / wood glue on the jack studs. The weak point is the bedframe (where I use the 1X3s-OSB). If you are worried and want to beef that up, swap out the OSB with plywood and you can even up the 1x3s to 1x4s - but- remember the mattress might sit up higher as a result and you should consider 1x10 / 1x12 sides on the bed frame instead. Thanks for the comment!
The only vid that matters.
Shows the budget show the tools needed, Shows the woodworking and materials needed.

Would you be willing to make some dimensions for a queen loft bed wanting to build one for my son but still novice in woodworking love the design
out of all the videos i watched today, this deserves the icing on the cake! wow, so detailed. there were other 2 guys selling plans and all they do is yap and did not describe what they actually did. sometimes silence with some textual instruction is a lot better than ego yapping!
That looks so much better than the $500 loft and desk combo I've seen. And I'm sure so much sturdier. Great job.

Very professional design. Cats always check and test what we are building. 🐱😎
This is really good. Just the right amount of detail and video speed.

I have never built anything in my life and I don’t think I should start with this but I absolutely love it
Same here.. I love it but I don’t feel confident because it looks like the video is for someone who’s familiar with building
Great video! I learned alot of tips for when I make a custom one for myself. I only wish there was some kind of narrator because I mostly do RUclips in the car when I'm driving. Still, great build.
