Awesome!

Asians,

Bamboo...?


:eyebrow:

Srsly, though. I'm super envious. My bunk bed was cedar...

From the lower bunk, I could press my feet up against the bottom of the top bunk, and straighten my knees. I would lift my brother, mattress and all, up about 6 inches and really startle him. When my older cousin visited once, he insisted on taking the top bunk, and I did it to him too. Completely freaked him right out.

Yeah.. good times.

In our caravan, (?travel trailer thingie), my sister got the top "hammock" bunk and I was so pissed about the unfairness of it I used to kick her butt all night. One night I kicked too hard and she and the metal pole that fitted in cups on the wall to form the edge of the hammock landed on me.

Nice bed, btw -the mattress supports look like they're laced to another long strip -is that right? Or do the roll up like Ikea mattress supports?

Awesome! I am flabbergasted as some folks' ingenuity.

thank you!

the mattress supports, the slats that are perpendicular to the long axis of teh bed, they're lashed to a semicircular half pole. it is quite rigid. the "panels", they're as strong and rigid as a tabletop in all axes.

That's just awesome V.

Want.

impressive.

Verry cool V

Very cool V! You are so handy!

My sis and I had bunk beds at the time they were both on the floor she carried me piggy back to throw me over her head onto the bed and I hit my forehead on the top of the post breaking my neck... :eek: yeah good times [/bunkbed memory]

what?!
you BROKE YOUR NECK goofin around on your bunk beds?

thanks all of you for your kind words and terrifying stories...

I had no idea that I had so much company with these childhood death traps.

So is there like a bamboo market out there or do you mail order or grow your own or what? Wow clumsy words.
