Re: Adding a bed in Visa 19 RGU
Hi all. Built the bed like in the photo but added 4 1/4" diameter dowels set into drilled holes in horizontal bar, to keep the new assembly tight to the side of the wall. I used a 1X12, sawed a radius at the exposed corner, then put edge banding on all sides. For the leg, I used a 1X2 and a simple hinge. Did not use the table top because the cushion pads extend beyond it, but cutting the 1X12 base to match the long dimension of the pad is perfect. All in all, total cost was less than $20. Looks nice, easy to store under the bed, strong enough to support both my boys.
