If you live on a farm or your kids like homesteading activities, a tractor bunk bed could be perfect for your kids. It would also be great in a small country weekender.
This loft bed is made with sturdy metal that is stable and durable and includes a slide, turning any bedroom into a playroom.
Bunk beds are great for kids who share one bedroom, especially if you have lots of vertical space you can use. By going up, rather than out, you create more space in the room for the kids to play around.

This bed design is one of the simpler DIY tractor bunk bed designs — perfect for very young kids. But if you really want to impress the little bosses, you can build a more detailed and realistic tractor bunk bed. Buy cheap tractor parts which you can include in your DIY bed — just make sure they are safe for the children!
