Super goddamn bunk beds. This is what you need with 4 boys that you want to keep in one room. Made mostly with 2x4’s and 2x10 bed frames. Took about two weeks from start to finish and the boys seem to love it so far.

Looks great. On a side note I can’t imaging having to care for four children, kudos for being a cool dad. ---

very cool. How the hell do you keep them all in the same room & keep them from waking each other up? We cant even manage to keep them from waking each other up in the same house. ---

Are these guys 9 months and 1 day apart in age or what? Did you even wait till she got home from the hospital or just until the nurse left the room? Your screen name has been explained. ---

How the hell do you keep them all in the same room & keep them from waking each other up? We cant even manage to keep them from waking each other up in the same house. Amazingly they don’t wake each other up too often and even when they do, they go back to sleep quick. Plus mom and dad’s quiet time means we don’t want to know you. > [@1QIKZ](#): > > Are these guys 9 months and 1 day apart in age or what?

Ha the oldest was 4 in February and the triplets were 3 in May. 15 month apart but we definitely wanted them close. Not necessarily this many but they are fun. > [@BadnewsMike](#): > > I believe 3 of them are triplets. > But the beds look solid Thanks a lot. ---

Yeah at this point we are 2 boys and a girl but another boy due in October so something like this will eventually need to be done. Did you go off any schematics or just come up with our own thing and just build it? ---

I searched a lot of triplet bunk beds and found a picture of the one I built. The guy that made it posted a handful of pictures on his blog and one had a few measurements on it so I just used those. Then built as I went from the ground up. ---
