We live in a small townhouse, and with our second baby we needed a safe space a children to sleep. As their age difference is small (a toddler of 2 years and baby of 7 months) they can sleep together in the same room but the baby is not allowed to crawl out of bed, while our oldest should have some protection from falling but can climb out if he wishes.
That is why we opted for a toddlers bunk bed (150cm x 70cm) which can be (partly) closed for protection.
Step-by-step guide
Step 1: I was not comfortable enough to make a strong frame so we bought one to start of as a base. It came with a white primer, stairs which we didn't use and two drawers for beneath the bed. The exact size is 161 cm x 81 cm x 170cm and we estimated it to be 220cm in height after the roof was finished.
