Travel Trailer Bunk Bed Rails.
I picked these up from a bunk bed store and cut em down. They already matched as far as the stain/color. The Ladders were purchased from the same store. I went through the plywood only on top and bottom of the bed with the brackets. Therefor I used boards on the bottom side to keep the bolts from pulling through. The brackets are from home depot and are 10 times stronger than they appear. I can stand on the bottom bunk pull hard and they hardly give at all.
cool mod!
My only concern would be someone getting scratched on the nut/end of bolt above the mattress.
I would suggest acorn nuts on the bolts for a smooth finish.
