Bunk House Ladder...DIY....

Thought I'd share a easy ladder project for those with bunks.....
(1) 8' 1x2 pinewood, stained.
Steps are 7" wide.
Doors close without removing the ladder (with room to spare).Click image for larger version

Thanks for the compliment but no I'm not taking orders 😜. Yes it's Cherry stain.... It's slowly absorbing into the wood and lightening up... It was still pretty wet an fresh when I snapped the pic so it appears darker than it does in real life!

So I take it that with these bunkhouse models they don't provide any means of getting to upper bunk ?

Great design Nathan! Maybe you can patent the plans and sell them!

No Berkshire bunkhouse has ever come with a ladder for the bunks. I had an '08 and now have a '14 and neither came with a ladder.
