The easiest way to put pics up is to go to www.photobucket.com then upload the pics and it'll give you a bit of [IMG] code to copy and paste into your post

Hi Ian- that layout looks mighty familiar..!
I'm making my bunks 25" deep, to give a 21" seat with the 4" backrest in place- and a 22" walkway.
Mine's a hi-top, so I'm going for overhead lockers for extra storage.
I love the wood block table / bed board.. is it going to be robust enough to carry the weight over that span?
Keep up the good work,

hi, hope it will be strong enough me and the misses have already laid on it and it didn't break bonus!!!! i might put some metal strengheners on the under side just to make sure.
i wanted a hi top but it wouldn't fit in the garage and this 1 only just fits in i thought i was going to have to let the tyres down to get it in but it just fitted!
cheers |

I went for 3/4" ply for the bunks- a bit OTT, but very solid. The only real difference with mine is I'm keeping the triple behind the driver.. (big family!)
Keep up the good work!
