He’s working on it, you might check out the modern maker podcast, where he talks about the zoning and permitting process he is having to deal with right now, it is a pretty neat way to keep up with Ben on a weekly basis
There is also a version of the scaffold end frames that is adjustable, anywhere from 3 feet to 5 feet, so that it would not leave a gap depending on which size mattress you selected. Most stores don't stock it, but usually the pro desk can order them in for you. With the 5 foot frames, if the goal was to re-use as much as possible, it may have been better to simply purchase a second (and third) scaffold deck. 3 of them would be just under 60 inches, which would be the size for a queen mattress.
I can imagine this design becoming the next college fad, especially for art students, you can hang an easel off of one outside end; just a thought. Another great idea.
I think it depends on your weight and how much time you watch Netflix on it, also be careful cause if you fall asleep while watching Netflix you might fall down the bed and brake your neck
I've always wanted a loft bed. Especially due to my small house I think it'd be great because of the usable space underneath when you need every inch of space in your home for storage and stuff.
I’m trying to figure out how to develop and build my own portable loft bed with ease if disassembly. This is so inspiring that I’m willing to try some semblance of the design. The only thing that I didn’t like aesthetically was the stabilizing crossbars in the back, but the ingenuity and innovative transformation/repurposing was very convincing. I think I may reconsider using scaffolding to achieve my LEGO loft bed design because of all the options you presented. Thank you. 👌💪🏽✅
Chuck Ellis You should have side rails for a child’s bed and a loft bed can be built just as cheaply and probably more sturdily using dimensional lumber.
Saw your guest appearance on This Old House. A tough crowd to impress. We are going to adapt your plans for an outdoor concrete + cedar kitchen island to make a smaller bathroom vanity to fit a sink we got for next to nothing at a Habitat for Humanity Restore. Your designs are great. Thanks
Really cool design, but you should make sure the mattress is able to ventilate from the bottom. If a mattress is put on a closed of surface like you did here there's a high risk of mold forming inside the mattress.
Simpli Safe needs some scorpion and spider detectors if you're in the desert Ben. Also, that alarm demo set my two dogs off lol. This is great I've wanted a loft bed since my apartment off-campus is tiny :(
You could also add the other x-brace in the front and just enter the "loft" area underneath through the sides, too. But this is a really awesome idea, especially if you're in a temporary living space. Awesome stuff!
sometimes i wish ben is my brother. Sure does he can build whatever i want. ben you are crazy ! bought a land and when you rent you don't buy any furnitures but build them. man ! ahhahahha
For that bedside laptop stand, I would try to find a way to make it angled instead of flat and have a wood bracket lip or something on the bottom to keep the laptop on there.
PLEASE film the build of your new house. PLEASE!
He is. Check out his podcast where he talks about it more.

Great idea but I would drill a few holes in the plywood to give the bottom of the mattress some ventilation so it doesn't get funky and moldy.
Gopher it

Your design idea, I mean.
I did this in my dorm room in 1983. There are no new ideas under the sun it seems.
is that bed strong enough for netflix and chilling 😂😂
Raven Shade don't think he knows what netflix and chill means
That's what the silicone caulk was for. To reduce the rattles during netflix and chill
I think it depends on your weight and how much time you watch Netflix on it, also be careful cause if you fall asleep while watching Netflix you might fall down the bed and brake your neck
well i mean if you dont fall off...
Raven Shade It might break due to shaking
This would be really good for small apartments, minimalists and minimalists with small apartments
This is going to be so much cheaper than buying a queen size loft frame.
Looks amazing but wont the pipe legs leave horrible marks in the floor?
After some netflix and chilling XD
flexxarnnn but pads on it
Put some tennis balls on the end of it, maybe
Put a foam pad on the bottom.
It's a rental. Probably doesn't care.
I wouldn't trust my self sleeping in there, I would most likely fall off the bed during the night, even with that rail installed 🤣
Never liked scaffolding more. Awesome!!!
This channel is going to make New Yorker go nuts, specially the ones who live in the city.
10/10 Would build, if i had power tools and hands.
this comment made my day!
Darkwolf 349 hahhah
Jeff Moore god dammit Jeff!
I’m super tempted to do this... it would also give me an excuse to get a double mattress.
The wardrobe thing makes it look chic.
Exactly i guess that's just for the portrait of how it looks otherwise that is a very minimal wardrobe very less people would have it
That bedside table was inspired!! Awesome
Now that's industrial.
I've always wanted a loft bed. Especially due to my small house I think it'd be great because of the usable space underneath when you need every inch of space in your home for storage and stuff.
It’s 11:25 and I’m watching a video about how to make a loft bed from the comfort of my loft bed
this was one of your best videos and most clever use of industrial supplies. Thanks for the idea!
"guys we're out of scaffolding".. "fear not... come with me to the bedroom"
I love those chucks!
The video which you need to see when you buy new house and there is no money for furniture ... Been there done that ✔️
My god that alarm caught me off guard. Need a warning next time lol
rip speakers
Lol right?!
I was at work during lunch with my earbuds in, and I thought the fire alarm was going off. My coworkers didn’t even flinch 😂
@@MichaelMendozaMagic WHAT!? DID YOU SAY SOMETHING!?
Did this. You said to use 1/2" plywood, however the MetalTech scaffold walk uses 5/8" plywood for a perfect fit.
Great secondary use for scaffolding... I have some old scaffolding behind my garage, I might need to clean it up and build something w/ it! 🤓👍
I'm so doing this. I have like a studio and this will save space. Thanks

This is a great idea! I was thinking of doing a loft bed for my daughter's room when she's old enough. This would make it super easy.
Chuck Ellis You should have side rails for a child’s bed and a loft bed can be built just as cheaply and probably more sturdily using dimensional lumber.
DAMN. I needed this video like a year ago! I love it!
That's even cooler then how you described it on the podcast! Awesome job!
You should drill some large diameter holes in the plywood so the mattress can vent. It’ll make a difference on those warm J tree summer nights.
HomeMadeModern makes the best commercials I've ever seen *no sarcasm intended.*
I already thought about making a bed of scaffolding. But my idea just mount them normally. your idea is so much better.
Saw your guest appearance on This Old House. A tough crowd to impress. We are going to adapt your plans for an outdoor concrete + cedar kitchen island to make a smaller bathroom vanity to fit a sink we got for next to nothing at a Habitat for Humanity Restore. Your designs are great. Thanks
smart and creative. i like the idea. keep on keeping your bar high.
Good integration of sponsor in the video almost felt like part of it
Pretty Cool! Only issue is that the bottom of the mattress isnt breathing. That's a quick way to get mold. Just a heads up!

Awesome idea best in years
Wow congrats on buy a lands! It is so nice for you and good luck!
Man, u r my new hero! This idea was just great!
This idea is AWESOME... and dare I say EPIC!
Great repurpose of already existing material. Very clever!
Just brilliant man!
Super clever! Love it
When you have elevated work to do, but don't want to get out of bed....... another great idea y'all👍🏾
Love this idea, even if I had money for something fancy I’d like something like this better 😁
Ok this is a great idea. So clean looking 👍👍👍
i like anything that is modular and industrial.. so great make.. :)
What a creative idea!🤙🏻
Absolutely brilliant!
How would you make a platform for a full size mattress? Great idea and video!
Nice! I am impressed
Wow!. Haven't seen anything new in a while from you guys. 👍
Well done! Very well.
I don't think he knows what Netflix and chill means.
same...
Sure He does. He's a Californian.
Nice build Ben, Great idea and use of the scaffolding.
This is awesome! Well done!
This is perfect for cleaning and organizing
Love the bed idea that's cool
Really cool!
Simpli Safe needs some scorpion and spider detectors if you're in the desert Ben.
Also, that alarm demo set my two dogs off lol. This is great I've wanted a loft bed since my apartment off-campus is tiny :(
love love love this idea! definitely want to try this out
I live for your videos. I have made so many things inspired by you guys!
This is cool. I would do this but I have no building skills. I would probably make the bed collapse when I got on it lol.
Genius! Subscribed!
Frickin Amazeballz!!!!
Awesome video! I’ve been on the road a lot lately, and have been blasting through the podcast. You guys are killing it!
Super cool 😎
I work with scaffolding a bit, how much wobble did you guys get at night?
the silicon caulk helped that along with the taping the joints. there is a little movement but its quiet
You could also add the other x-brace in the front and just enter the "loft" area underneath through the sides, too. But this is a really awesome idea, especially if you're in a temporary living space. Awesome stuff!
Love this project man. Inspirational ideas...
Great video, man!
I’m looking forward to your house project!
Great idea and great job.
Some really neat ideas! Great build!
You should open up an Etsy store it’d be awesome!
That alarm made my cat jump off from sleep and even I
Man, I wish I was handy enough to build something like this...
Thanks for the tutorial
I LOVE THIS
That’s so cool!!!!
I need more information, i am legit planing on doing this.
I see you getting your sponsoring on. 😉
SimpleSafe got game 🤣
it looks great ❤️ totally going to make one for my room
Brilliant!
Hope to see you in the desert. I'm building out there as well.
Woow!! Pero como no se me había ocurrido antes!! XD
Amazing...good job...
Great idea & build!
supper cool idea👍👍👍👍👍
What’s the max weight for something like this. Great space saver for small bedrooms
I would either fall off the bed at night or bump my head on the little night stand 😵😂
Looks cool!
You have cool sponsors
Dang you're a clever dude.
sometimes i wish ben is my brother. Sure does he can build whatever i want. ben you are crazy ! bought a land and when you rent you don't buy any furnitures but build them. man ! ahhahahha
Nice project Ben! & Jessie! Thanks for sharing the video with us.😎👍JP
Justo lo que buscaba 😘
If you don't add a rail...
*Bodies. Will. Roll.*
For that bedside laptop stand, I would try to find a way to make it angled instead of flat and have a wood bracket lip or something on the bottom to keep the laptop on there.
Looks so cool
