We also do not make custom plans. The diagram above shows a sample of the Front and Back Rail plans.
The Hardware Kit includes a hard copy of the Loft Bed Plans and all the carriage bolts, nuts, washers, screws and wood glue needed to build your basic bed. Hardware Kits go out by either FedEx or USPS Priority Mail and once shipped will arrive in 1 to 5 business days.
The most time consuming and difficult part of building the bed yourself is cutting notches into the legs (corner posts). For the DIY customer who wants to build a basic bed but doesn't have the time, tools or space for cutting the notches into the legs, we also have Leg Kits available.
The Leg Kit includes a hard copy of the Loft Plans, the Hardware Kit and 4 legs (corner posts) in either 39" (High Rise Platform Bed), 72" (for up to an 8' ceiling), 84" (for up to an 9' ceiling) or 92" (for up to an 10' ceiling) leg height. To complete the loft you need to supply the remaining lumber for the front/back rails, ladder rungs, bed slats and safety rails.
When ordering the Leg Kit, you may also select the Leg Top Design which are: (4) Square Top (default), (2) Round Top & (2) Square Top (for use with the double bookshelf headboard), or (4) Round Top. Leg Kits ship out in a few days and once shipped will arrive in 1 to 5 business days. The Leg Kits go out by FedEx Ground and are only available to the contiguous US.

I am having a hard time finding good quality lumber, what kind of lumber do you use? We understand that it is very difficult to find nice straight boards from home improvement stores. Most lumber yards cary construction grade and not furniture grade lumber. You need to sort through many boards just to find a few nice pieces. For your safety be very careful when sorting through a pile of lumber as it can easily fall down and never let children be around piles of stacked lumber. We use a special grade of Kiln-Dried Heat Treated Western Spruce from the Pacific Northwest which is specifically milled for us. Since Western Spruce grows in a cooler climate, it stays straighter and has fewer knots than other wood species. Western Spruce is typically not available at most lumber yards or home improvement stores.
