Welcome zach. We aren't poking fun at you we are all just a bunch of goofs. Me especially.

A pirate bed is a cool ideer. You could could build a treasure chest to go with it at the foot of the bed.

monkey you get 30 lashes for crackin a bad joke and toms you have to walk the plank fer laughin at it. irate: :laughing:

 

[WonderMonkey]

I'll accept the lashes. It was so dumb I hesitated to even type it in.

I think a treasure chest at the end is a great idea. Make it a large one for a toy chest if you can make the lid light enough for your child to safely work.

Didn't find anything

These are not plans, but maybe would spur some ideas for plans of your own.

Here are more. Here is the google.com image link I used. Maybe one of the sites that have the images could send you plans.

i really like that last one...

 

[WonderMonkey]

You might be able to take that last one and rotate it a bit and then use the length of the mattress to establish scale. That would enable you to come pretty close to some measurements and a pattern. If you would like to experiment with that one I'll help you out.

 

[zacharytanner]

Awesome Guys...Thanks...Not Sure how to come up with dimensions?

 

[WonderMonkey]

If you like one of them that shows things pretty good use the image to establish a scale. Then measure everything else and apply the scale. That will get you within spitting distance.

I accept the plank! Is it Oak? Ha ha! Those are some really nice beds. You should be able to get some good ideas from those pictures. As a kid I always loved Pirates, and related stuff. The treasure chest at the foot of the bed is also a great idea.

When I was a kid, a pirate bed was nothing more than a box frame with drawers underneath.
