i want to build a loft bed. i can screw it directly into the wall on three sides, but my questions are...
1 what should i use for lumber (2x4's?)
2 will i need to support the side with no wall with a post to the floor? (it'll be 80 inches long on that side and will need to support me @ 150 lbs and the futon pad i plan to put on it
3 how should i support the futon pad? one large particle board or crosses of 2x4 or something else i haven't thought of yet? THANK YOU!!!
