Kids Love These DIY Tractor Beds
Getting kids to go to bed might be easier if it looks like a tractor or loader. We found plans available on Etsy that make it easy for DIY woodworkers to build their own bed frames for $250-$400.
Some beds like the John Deere bed by Gary Vidlock, of ErpitiLLC, and the front end loader bed made by Glen Sherwin, of Plans4Wood, include side rails or walls to provide security for toddlers transitioning from cribs to “big kid” beds.
Dan Schmidt, of HammerTree, offers more open versions suitable for even older kids and include handy bookcases on the front and storage underneath.
Some plans include added lighting, detailed wheels and decals. But with the basic plans for a twin size bed, the builder can delete and add custom options. Plans (by PDF or print) range from $26-$30.
To see available options, go to www.etsy.com and search for tractor beds.
