5. On one 200 mm side of the plywood boards, use the jigsaw to saw out 40 x 40 mm squares so that a small comb is created. ribbons Re-apply the sawn surfaces with sandpaper so that there is no risk of injury. Paint the plywood boards also with gray paint and then draw in the masonry with black paint.

3. Screw the second side of the piano hinge to the center of the head side of the loft bed at a height of 850 mm.
4. In the head of the drawbridge board, turn a screw hook at a distance of 50 mm from the front edge. 500 mm above the board, turn the screw hooks into the head wall of the loft bed at the same width. Hang the chains in the screwed-on board and in the loft bed. Your knight's castle loft bed even has its own desk.
5. Secure the drawbridge board from falling with a twist-lock bolt.
6. Now screw the square pieces of wood 400 x 50 x 50 mm onto one long side of the loft bed so that your child can use this as a step.
