i think its gonna important to me. Thanks 4 ur info.

Great job, so cozy looking.

Awesome build and video brother! Those kids are blessed to have a dad like you. I'm sure they love it, and it can also serve as an indoor treehouse, lookout tower, army base, etc. you know?! I'm 41 and would climb up there in a second with a plastic M-16 if my cousins were visiting and a battle broke out....lol them days! We never grow up at heart. Thanks and God bless u my friend.

The only thing I'd be wary about. All the framing you're doing you're putting a single screw in every where timber meets timber. No double-screwing or glue-and-screw or joins of any sort. So you're relying on the shear-strength of single screws in some places where you'd REALLY want to make sure nothing breaks loose (like the step ladder). As taking the whole platform apart isn't feasible this is what I'd do. For those cross-braces on the platform itself, go back in and put an additional screw on each side. For the step ladder, just to be REALLY safe, pull it down. get yourself a bottle of decent construction adhesive or at least wood glue. Pull each step out one at a time. Dab the ends with glue and double-screw them back into the stringer. Then remount the step ladder (again, glue and double-screw). Sure, it'll cost you a little extra in materials, but it'll result in a MUCH more durable (and safer) project in the end. Also, OSB isn't exactly the greatest material to walk (or crawl) on. And you can get splinters. Consider half-inch sanded plywood instead or overlay it with some cheap hardboard panels for a nice smooth surface. Or you could just go with cheap rugs and stuff.

I personally don't think glue will help in anyway, I mean, I built a shelf by just using screws and nails to hold the woods together, I can put 8 tires on the shelf and the shelf will not collapse. I sometimes don't really get why people would put glue on woods....

I got the wood from build yard, but it was not pre-cut. I think you would need the saw to cut them to your preferred size. Or you could ask to get them cut at B&Q. They do cuts for a small fee.

How do you support the timber on the floor? Is it screwed to the floor? Could I have in a room where there's no brick wall, but only stud partition?

What size of screw did you use when you fixed the six legs on the wall? and could I know each size of screws used on the respective positions?

How has it held up?

What is the maximum weight the structure can support?

Nice. If you preferred you could just counter sink the horizontal lumber and screwed into the wall studs with 3" screws. instead of the short support boards.

i want to do something like this with a queen bed. but when i do i am going to use 4by4 post and group 8 bolts for my legs then i can take 2x6 and do it all right for $300 usd. it will be safe up to 8800 lbs. with a stairs and all. love to do a video if i do it. if i can find the money.

The bed has been up over 18 months now in daily use by teenagers and sometimes adults when guests stay overnight - and so far it's perfectly fine with no squeaking, shaking or any other safety concerns experienced. So I am sure it will hold 220lb or more but of course I can't give any guarantees in any case.
