Looking for a triple bunk bed that makes good use of space in a shared bedroom? Then this project is for you!
For those of you who grew up sharing a room with your siblings, you know that space is at a premium. You might even have experienced battles over “space”. Figuring out the right setup in a shared bedroom is very important. In most cases buying pre-fabricated beds is not the best solution.

To efficiently use a small space things need to be customized. This concept of building a triple-stacked bunk bed is the perfect solution. The most obvious reason is that you can fit three kids in one room.
Sturdy, stylish, and budget-friendly, a well-made triple-stacked bunk-bed is great for kids who want and need a bit more room, but still want to share a space with each other!
What makes it even better is that you can configure the triple bunk bed to efficiently fit the bedroom. You can see a couple of different configurations in the album below.
These functional and gorgeous examples offer high-quality construction and designs that are both lasting and versatile.

What are the materials needed to create a Triple Bunk Bed?
Building a triple-stacked bunk bed yourself makes it easier for you to make use of the space efficiently. You can freely decide on the dimensions of the bed, allowing you to utilize the most out of the available space. Not to mention that it’s much cheaper to build it yourself, and a great way to enhance your DIY skills.
