This Planpack contains five pleasing alternative designs for the headboards and footboards of these versatile bunk-beds. The double-decker bed may be easily dismantled to form two single beds and the mattresses are supported on softwood slats or sheet plywood. A bonus feature is the additional drawer space under the lower bunk. The construction is based on straight forward mortise and tenon jointing and the use of any English hardwood is recommended. 2020 x 1800 x 1020 mmAuthor: Ashby DesignsPlan type: Skill level: TProduct Code: ADW111A/B
