Plans/pics/ideas for a building Youth Bed.

I built one for our son before he was born. Maple and walnut and very similar to the one in the first link with the tent. The side rails were the same an the one pictured. Typically "kids" wand to be treated like they were about 5 years older than their actual age. Once out of the crib and into the "big boys" bed I built a taller side rail that attached to the existing side rail to keep him from rolling out at night. Once he was 4 or

5 years old we removed the extra rail and he has been using that bed up through today, he is a senior in college and will graduate this spring.

I built a dump truck bed for my 3 year old. He seems to like it. I recently put some switches on the dashboard that control lights. (The priority was the bed structure so I add a few details every month or so.) He uses the cab light (led) as a night light.

I put the drawing on google sketchup:

Hi Jim. This is a bit late, but I found a good set of reasonably priced bunk bed plans, and made a bed from them for my children. It's basic, but it was fairly easy to make, sturdy, and the kids love playing on it. They just drape blankets over the side, and use it as a fort. There is also

12 inches of clearance underneath, which allows room for storage:
