This DIY Loft Bed was made out of construction scaffolding that I bought from Home Depot. This is a really easy way to make a lofted bed and the scaffolding can still be used as scaffolding.

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

Raven Shade It might break due to shaking
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 did this in my dorm room in 1983. There are no new ideas under the sun it seems.
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.
PLEASE film the build of your new house. PLEASE!

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
This is going to be so much cheaper than buying a queen size loft frame.
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.

This would be really good for small apartments, minimalists and minimalists with small apartments
"guys we're out of scaffolding".. "fear not... come with me to the bedroom"
this was one of your best videos and most clever use of industrial supplies. Thanks for the idea!
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! 🤓👍
It’s 11:25 and I’m watching a video about how to make a loft bed from the comfort of my loft bed
Ok this is a great idea. So clean looking 👍👍👍
Never liked scaffolding more. Awesome!!!
DAMN. I needed this video like a year ago! I love it!
Looks amazing but wont the pipe legs leave horrible marks in the floor?

That's even cooler then how you described it on the podcast! Awesome job!
Awesome video! I’ve been on the road a lot lately, and have been blasting through the podcast. You guys are killing it!
This channel is going to make New Yorker go nuts, specially the ones who live in the city.
That bedside table was inspired!! Awesome
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 🤣
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.
This idea is AWESOME... and dare I say EPIC!
Nice build Ben, Great idea and use of the scaffolding.
I live for your videos. I have made so many things inspired by you guys!
Man, u r my new hero! This idea was just great!
Great video, man! I’m looking forward to your house project!
love love love this idea! definitely want to try this out
Some really neat ideas! Great build!
Now that's industrial.
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. 👌💪🏽✅
Love this project man. Inspirational ideas...
Absolutely brilliant!
smart and creative. i like the idea. keep on keeping your bar high.
I'm so doing this. I have like a studio and this will save space. Thanks
I love those chucks!
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.
This is perfect for cleaning and organizing
Love this idea, even if I had money for something fancy I’d like something like this better 😁
Super clever! Love it
Nice project Ben! & Jessie! Thanks for sharing the video with us.😎👍JP
This is awesome! Well done!
Love the bed idea that's cool
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
Just brilliant man!
What a creative idea!🤙🏻
I’m super tempted to do this... it would also give me an excuse to get a double mattress.
it looks great ❤️ totally going to make one for my room
Great idea & build!
Awesome idea best in years
10/10 Would build, if i had power tools and hands.

Nice! I am impressed
Great idea and great job.
Well done! Very well.
i like anything that is modular and industrial.. so great make.. :)
Looks cool!
Did this. You said to use 1/2" plywood, however the MetalTech scaffold walk uses 5/8" plywood for a perfect fit.
mais um grande projeto desse canal...abraços do Brasil
Looks so 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 :(
Frickin Amazeballz!!!!
Justo lo que buscaba 😘
How would you make a platform for a full size mattress? Great idea and video!
I LOVE THIS
I already thought about making a bed of scaffolding. But my idea just mount them normally. your idea is so much better.
That’s so cool!!!!
Super cool 😎
When you have elevated work to do, but don't want to get out of bed....... another great idea y'all👍🏾
Great repurpose of already existing material. Very clever!
Amazing...good job...
Dang you're a clever dude.
supper cool idea👍👍👍👍👍
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.
The video which you need to see when you buy new house and there is no money for furniture ... Been there done that ✔️
Hope to see you in the desert. I'm building out there as well.
What’s the max weight for something like this. Great space saver for small bedrooms
Woow!! Pero como no se me había ocurrido antes!! XD
My god that alarm caught me off guard. Need a warning next time lol

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
love it
May I ask how tall the room is?
Scafffold screw jacks and pins.
I♥it you are a genius :)
Cool project! Will your desert house be a 2nd home or your primary home? Are there fewer construction restrictions where you bought your land? For example, could you build a tiny house on the property?
A-mazing!!!!!
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.
Man, I wish I was handy enough to build something like this...
does it shake a lot when climbing to the top, or is it stable? also, does it shake when tossing and turning while sleeping?
Good integration of sponsor in the video almost felt like part of it
@HomeMadeModern How much did this cost in total?
That’s a brilliant idea.... Would you say the dimensions are sound and large enough to support a queen size bed?
HomeMadeModern makes the best commercials I've ever seen *no sarcasm intended.*
I see you getting your sponsoring on. 😉 SimpleSafe got game 🤣
