They both love music and like the same colors, but I worried the age gap would be\u00a0hard to address. My oldest wanted a modern, urban feel, and my 10-year-old\u00a0wanted a fort for a bed.\u00a0Most fort beds I have seen are rustic and sometimes resemble a cabin or treehouse.\u00a0The question was: how do I mesh the fort idea with the modern feel my teenager was wanting? I\u00a0came up with this\u00a0modern loft bed and both my sons couldn\u2019t be happier!<\/p>\n<p class=\"textbox\" dir=\"ltr\">It was a fairly simple

These\u00a0will be the rails that the mattress slats will rest. I attached those two\u00a079-in. boards and two 41-in. boards together using pocket holes.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 4: Build the legs<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-108705\" src=\"https:\/\/homeimprovementblogs.com\/hg-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/79f6e797c8390d61118f3365e556627e.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"textbox\" dir=\"ltr\">To create the legs, I attached <a href=\"https:\/\/www.homedepot.com\/p\/2-in-x-2-in-x-8-ft-Furring-Strip-Board-165360\/202076422?cm_mmc=socialmedia%7Capronblog%7CD59%7C000000%7CStacyRisenmay%7C108739\">2 x 2<\/a> to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.homedepot.com\/p\/2-in-x-4-in-x-8-ft-2-Ground-Contact-Pressure-Treated-Lumber-106147\/206970948?cm_mmc=socialmedia%7Capronblog%7CD59%7C000000%7CStacyRisenmay%7C108739\">2 x 4&#8217;s<\/a> making an L shape. I did this using screws and wood glue. I\u00a0sunk the screws heads and puttied over them before staining.<\/p>\n<p class=\"textbox\" dir=\"ltr\">Because there is an air vent on the wall, I made the back of this bed shorter, so\u00a0it wouldn\u2019t cover it. You\u00a0can make this bed the same height in the front and back if you want.<\/p>\n<p class=\"textbox\" dir=\"ltr\">Now that the base and the legs are assembled, it is time to join them together. I used six screws per leg.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 5: Assemble the bed<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-108706\" src=\"https:\/\/homeimprovementblogs.com\/hg-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/21f393de6e56fa95cf7b04b357d8ec8c.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"textbox\" dir=\"ltr\">Now it is time to start adding the front pieces. Start with 79-in. pieces and then in the middle add the\u00a033\u00bd-in. pieces to form an opening for the window. Then finish it\u00a0off with more 79-in. pieces.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-108707\" src=\"https:\/\/homeimprovementblogs.com\/hg-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/2c45c5b57b8cb1f69e8ae46bab25c7cb.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"1125\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"textbox\" dir=\"ltr\">The right-side end will consist of all 41-in. boards but will not go as high as the front (unless you chose\u00a0to make the front and back equal). The left side will go as high as the front (since it will be seen) but will\u00a0be made up of 20-in. boards so that there is an opening to get on\u00a0and off the bed. All these boards are\u00a0attached with screws from the back side, so they are not seen.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-108708\" src=\"https:\/\/homeimprovementblogs.com\/hg-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/aa3dac319b5316bf8ccadb6ccb1eb2ee.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" \/><\/p>\n<div id=\"pageContainer2\" class=\"page\">\n<div class=\"links-layer\">\n<div class=\"links-layer-inner\">\n<p class=\"textbox\" dir=\"ltr\">On the end with the 20-in. boards, you will need to add the 30-in. board vertically to hold the ends in\u00a0place.<\/p>\n<p class=\"textbox\" dir=\"ltr\">On the other side of the opening you will need to add the 2\u00be in. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.homedepot.com\/p\/WeatherShield-1-in-x-4-in-x-8-ft-Ground-Contact-Pressure-Treated-Board-253915\/206973928?cm_mmc=socialmedia%7Capronblog%7CD59%7C000000%7CStacyRisenmay%7C108739\">1 x 4 boards<\/a> to give it a finished look.<\/p>\n<p class=\"textbox\" dir=\"ltr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-108709\" src=\"https:\/\/homeimprovementblogs.com\/hg-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/4fedf2ff90fea2770e48c5534996bfa9.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"1125\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"textbox\" dir=\"ltr\">The 54- and 18-in. pieces will become the ladder. I attached them with screws and wood\u00a0glue. I sunk the heads of the screws and puttied over them before staining.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-108710\" src=\"https:\/\/homeimprovementblogs.com\/hg-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/91145323e21d0cebce802507d522f3b4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"1125\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"textbox\" dir=\"ltr\">The outside corner trim will be cut at a 45\u00b0 angle (like a picture frame) and will get nailed on the\u00a0window.

Because\u00a0of our low basement\u00a0ceiling, it was easier to put the mattress over the back (which was lower) before\u00a0putting the bed into\u00a0place. You can also put it up through the bottom, keep it slanted, add the slats, and then lay the mattress down.<\/p>\n<h3>Final Reveal<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-108699 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/homeimprovementblogs.com\/hg-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/f54abc0b632997fbddcad68edbe1300f.jpg\" alt=\"DIY Modern Loft Bed for Teens in Six Steps\" width=\"750\" height=\"1125\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"textbox\" dir=\"ltr\">My son was over the moon!
