haha... wow... this is an oooooold thread
I'll go ahead and tell about my loft...
my roomate and I figured out some plans to build the lofts, a mix of things we had seen online and thought would work together well. He talked to a friend of his that worked construction to get some lumber for cheap. When my roomate went to pickup the lumber his friend asked him to come look at something. His friend had welded up 2 lofts out of 2 inch square steel tubing... These things were solid!
my roomate and I drilled them and bolted on 2x4s to make ladders up one side.
the bottom of the frame was 6 feet up and the top of the mattresses probably about 7 from the ground.
We used the lofts for 4 years and never had any issues... they stood up to everything I could dish out
after we used em, we sold them to a couple of freshmen in the same dorm... I'm sure they could last a loooong time!
I'll see if I can find a picture to post
