I am not a professional artist, designer nor carpenter and someone had asked if my parents taught me these skills. No, both my parents worked in healthcare. 😁👨‍⚕️👨‍⚕️ I am simply someone who was tired of going into debt in order to afford what I thought we needed. So a few years ago I started sketching and building! Our family is now consumer debt free, but I still build. 😊 My 9yo daughter asked for this bunk bed and so here it is. I hope you enjoy the video and thank you for watching!

@@shawnreyes3323 Triple bunks work best with 10’ ceilings. My ceilings are 8’, and I have loft/bunk beds for my 5 kids, and I highly recommend allowing enough space for an adult to sit up on each bunk. This will make your life much easier when changing the sheets. Hope this helps.

This is fantastic!!! We have 9 kids and need to do some room rearranging . This could solve our lack of space problem in a hurry!!!😁👍🏻

@Hannah Kartchner Thank you Hannah! And I know I can speak for both us here in saying that your kind words mean so much. 🥰

I love the simplicity of the design. I wish this came out a year and a half ago because we needed a triple bunk but just used out existing bunk and raised it up. Of course the child on top can reach the ceiling and I have literally said "stop eating the ceiling!" (it's a popcorn ceiling). We have six children and we need another triple bunk so I will be referring to this video again. Thanks for the great content!

Thank you! My husband has been wanting to build a triple bunk for our boys. This is perfect!

Woman! You Rock! Well done, yet again! You sure know how to look after your families needs. You and Joe are an awesome team.

I just googled triple bunk beds and you can't find any less than the $400-$1,000 price range. I'm totally having James make this for the kids' room!

You totally rock!

You are such an inspiration Darci! I also love how your family helps and supports you.

Brilliant job Darci!

It looks so amazing Darci! The kiddos will love it!

You ARE awesome!! Great job plus it teaches your children that mom can do ANYthing!!! You rock!!

Wonderful! My husband and I are trying to find ways to make life more self-sufficient, and I'm a bit of a minimalist. So, it is always a joy to see parts of your life through this channel. Thank you very much for your videos! I'm sure my husband would love to see any more wood-working videos you put out there. Thanks for sharing!

Incredible job!!

This was amazing to watch you all work together to get it done!!! On a side note Darci, you have been an inspiration to me in many areas of my life. But on a fun note, I'm starting to walk everyday and encouraging my daughter to come with me. It's so much fun no matter the weather! Love it!

Really nice build. We love seeing the family work together. Thank you for being a positive role model.

You have skills mama! We just bought a triple bunk for $400...double the price but we love it.

Blessed and talented. Wow!!!!

What a great idea, and a super space-saver, too! I love how uncluttered the room looks now, Darci - and wish my Mum had thought of something like this when I was growing up - with 5 girls in one bedroom, it was crowded! Lol

Reminds me of the bunks in my college dorm rooms. I was able to claim the bottom bed of the triple bunk three out of four years, it was great, I could literally roll out of bed in the morning.

You totally make making furniture look super simple and fun, Darci! Great work!!

Awesome job!!

That's amazing! Great work.

This is amazing!!

Love it!!!

This is great! You're so creative. 💕💕

Well done! 💗

I am so envious of you! Awesome job!

Good job!! You got some skills that's for sure!!!

It’s so badass and next level that you are making all this furniture now! Love it!! 👏🏻👏🏻

Fantastic! You are so talented. It is wonderful to see the family involved together with this project. Congrats to all, sweet dreams.

I am serious. Its like you read my mind! I need a triple bunk for my 3 boys. The room has 9ft ceilings, so there's plenty of space up, but not foot print.

Yes, This what I been looking for. Thank you guys. Well done

YES! i have been needing a video of this process !! ty

Nice!! We have a triple bunk and love it!

Amazing job! What a great project...no fear in building your own furniture to fit your needs, I love it!!! ~Karla in MN

Thanks very much, I used this as the basis for mine that I just finished, with a few minor tweaks.

Darci you're so talented. 🔨✏🔨✏

I’m so glad you made this. 💜💜💜 I’ve been wanting a triple bunk for our boys but they are SO expensive!! You always make building stuff look so doable! 😊

Wow very impresive! Great taem work!

Very nice! We are planning on making a quad bunk for our four boys. You have inspired me that, yes, I can do it!

good job!

One of the few diy furniture I've done is bunkie boards. The first one I did 4 years ago when my boy broke boards on it by jumping on the bed. I reinforced it with several extra boards and improved the outside cover with outdoor fabric. Then this last summer, I took apart a trashy looking twin box foundation and 2 more flimsy bunkie boards (from my parents storage unit) and made two more solid ones, covering them with outdoor fabric I had gotten from someone decluttering. Score. So the second two were nearly free.

👏👏👏Awesome carpenter!!!! ❤ thst you depict Proverbs 31 woman so well .

I'm using this design to convert my daughter's loft bed into a triple bunk and on the outside it will look like a trilevel house. Lumber is already in the garage and picking up a mitre saw tomorrow. I'm super excited to start this project. Next, a sandbox.

the fact you did this with not 1 level. My mind is blown.

Forgot to leave a comment and a thumbs up. I was watching the video in segments while the girls were at gymnastics. I couldn't wait! Haha. This was great! Thank you again so much! You're fantastic, Darci!

That’s amazing Darci! I wish I had your craft man ship. I also end up with crooked boards too. 🤷🏼‍♀️ but that’s awesome!

Much appreciated

it turned out great. Everybody helped XD

Great job! Lots of screws to remove if you ever have to move it. Thats why bolts are better, but excellent job!!!!

Love it! But where's the ladder?!?

So cool! I would love to do sometimes like this but it is SO intimidating!! I would like to do just a double, but with the bottom one on the floor like youre, because my guys are still pretty little. Hmmm!

Wow👍👍👍👍

I want to make twin bunk bed for my girls since two separate twin bed takes up too much for a small room. I like your plans

Hello Darci I have been watching your vlogs for sometime. My husband would like to build the triple bunkbeds for are 3 little ones but it will be the first piece of furniture every to build would you have the step by step on a blog or somewhere else we can find more in depth instructions typed out? Thank you again for your time you are loved, wanted, and appreciated .

Question your 32 inch mark. Is that the top of 2x4

Is that the father? If so, a great role model for the children. Good job pops!

Hi Darci! We have 3 boys sharing a small room and this would be a great idea for them.....just one question....what is it like changing the bedding on the top bunk? Any thoughts on that? Thank you Darci!

Is there a list of needed materials/sizes you might have somewhere?? I’m a novice and not sure what kind of lumber or screws to buy. Thanks. That was amazing!! Love how your kids helped

I LOVE THIS SO MUCH I'm slowly wathcing an making notes. Going to build it this weekend. Gorgious and perfect for my nephews. ages (2) (3) and (9). I do have a few questions I hope you don''t mind. Yes I watched the video SEVERAL times :) - What length did you cut the 4x4 beams? - What size screws did you use? or was there multiple sizes?, drill bit? -How high from the bed frame (box) is the safety 1x4 rail? - What is YOUR opinion on using a sheet of plywood in place of slats? (I already have some on hand) LOVE THIS SO MUCH!! ♥

Can you please do a tutorial on what ladder you made for the triple bunk, thank you :)

Hi, Thank you for sharing your dimension but I have a question, the measurements that you list for the triple bunk bed is that for the full 3 beds???

Wow... Well done family! ;) Looks fantastic..;) Is there going to be guardrails for the pillows not falling down? 🥰🥰🥰

Please do a beginners wood working series!!!! I draw up designs all the time and love simple projects like this, but don’t know how to wood work and all the beginner series on KZread are horrible, or the women are basically selling their attractiveness than the skill. And a side note- hope you secured the bed to a stud as it could be quite top heavy. Please do consider the series! You would do an excellent job!

The bed is one inch from the ceiling so it's not possible for it to tip over.

The timbers that you've included in your description is that to make 1 bedframe or is that for the entire triple bed? Thanks

Just to clarify, this was under 200 because you had the other two twin beds already, correct? And did I miss where you posted the measurements and design? This is fantastic by the way, and is currently on our to do list because we are expecting baby number 4 soon.
