Assuming you have all the necessary tools and materials we are going to give a written guide of how to build twin corner beds with storage.

Cut List for the Box

  • 4 – 2×2 @ 40 1/4″ (Tops and Bottoms Box Ends)
  • 4 – 2×2 @ 29″ (Legs for the Box Ends)
  • 6 – 2×2 @ 37 1/4″ (Supports)
  • 2 – 32″ Wainscoting @ 40 1/2″ (Panels)

Cut List for the Top Unit

  • 1 – 1×8 @ 40 1/2″ (End)
  • 2 – 1×8 @ 39 3/4″ (Long Dividers)
  • 1 – 1×8 @ 14 1/2″ (Short Divider)
  • 1 – 1×8 @ 24 1/2″ (Final Divider)
  • 1 -1×2 @ 24 1/2″ (Cleat for Support Lid, 1st one installed)
  • 1 – 1×2 @ 23 3/4″ (Cleat for Support Lid, 2nd one installed)

Please make sure to work on a clean surface. You don’t want your glue to pick up unwanted dust.

Step 1:

Step 1 - How to Build Twin Corner Beds with Storage

Building the box end. You are going to attach the cut parts. You can make the bond stronger by adding a screw-on top of the glue.

Step 2:

Support for the box. Make sure you don’t use any glue while installing the supports for the box. Avoid using glue and use 2″ screws only.  Your project should turn out to be a square at this point. Or you are doing something wrong.

Step 2 - How to Build Twin Corner Beds with Storage

Step 3:

Wainscoting the box. Measure the box and cut out your wainscoting. Fit the coting to one side and once again don’t use any glue. Use 4 1 1/4″ screws instead of glue in all edges. The purpose of this step is to make sure you can unscrew them later if you want.

Step 3 - How to Build Twin Corner Beds with Storage

Step 4:

Using 2″ screws and glue build your dividers. Then add the 1×2 cleat. Use 1 1/4″ screws. Before you screw them in you should also use glue. So that the joins don’t come out loose.

Step 4 - How to Build Twin Corner Beds with Storage

Step 5:

Add the final cleat in the same fashion.

Step 5 - How to Build Twin Corner Beds with Storage

Step 6:

Bottom cut. Cut your bottom plywood and attach it to the bottom of the unit. Remember the cleats will be on top on the top.

Use glow and 2″ screws. Make sure they stick together and stay.

Step 6 - How to Build Twin Corner Beds with Storage

Step 7:

Cut down the top plywood for your unit. Attach only the outer layers, not the inside one. The inside one will be a removable piece for your unit. Cut an arch-shaped handle piece on both sides to act as a handle.

Step 7 - How to Build Twin Corner Beds with Storage

Step 8:

Attach the top base from underneath. Using 2″ screw to hold it in place.

Don’t glue so that later when you want you can remove it easily.

Step 8 - How to Build Twin Corner Beds with Storage

You can drill holes in certain places and use them as “smart” storage.

The potential is infinite.
