That’s okay! I hope you found it useful, for the second part check out ‘finishing a freestanding mezzanine’

Sturdy Mezzanine. Good job. Waiting to see the finished project. What do you plan on putting up there?

Thanks for the comment, building a bed frame and storage up there, will be uploading a video soon 👍

Great Build! I am looking at building something like this outdoors. If the wood was treated and rails are installed would structure support the weight of several people and outdoor patio furniture? I would use cement to mount the primary supports. Thank you👍🏽

Yes however depending on the span you may need more posts for example in the middle, might be best to consult an architect to make sure 👌 My Mez is L3.5m by W2.5m

Thank you! luckily for me my friend was a studying architect. You should use c24 untreated timber. 01:55 shows a quick plan of how I jointed it together. Building regulations will force you to over compensate, I probably didn't need the wood to be that thick but if you're planning to rent or sell a place its always best practice to make sure it's to building regulations.

What is the spacing between internal rafters? Why did you choose to go short way instead of right to left?

Daniel Ben Rafael Yosef From the center of each joist it’s 400mm. The joists are 47mm thick and I used 50mm joist hangers. The shorter the span the stronger the structure, also there was an irregular part of the wall 👍 remember to use some L brackets on the posts. This mezzanine was designed to the specification of a floor in a house, so probably overkill but it’s building regulations in the UK.

Fabulous build. What where the dimension of your posts/beams and joists?

100x100 inches 200x100 inches Joists were 200x50 inches (not 100% but the standard for planks)

​@@dougymccrae I think you mean millimeters. So in inches it would be 4" x 4" 4" x 8" 2" x 8"

The wood members look far bigger than they need to be mate. That’s why architects do calculations. There are some sizing charts that you can reference. But on the upside, that mezzanine can take a lot more weight now.

Yup, you could probably build a house on it lol. An architect gave me those measurements 😆 apparently that’s to building regulations

They look like they can hold 1,000 pounds.

Question: About how much does it cost to build a mezzanine of this size. I've been thinking about it for a while now to build one as well

@dougymccrae

The materials around £1300 including mdf, plasterboard, untreated timber, joist hangers, plaster, lights. Not including tools

Seems like you used pressure-impregnated wood. It's not healthy to use indoors.

The CCA preservative was banned but thank you for bringing this to my attention I’ll definitely look further into it to make sure it’s okay. The timber company actually recommended I dry it so I bought a dehumidifier which completely dried the wood over a few days and then it was covered with plasterboard and plaster
