How much weight can this kind of step/elevated floor support?
I wonder can it support a double decker bed since there's only 4 legs for the bedframe, will it poke the wooden floor =_=

I don't have idea about the load. Depends on how the base was not. More on the wood framing below.
The laminated floor board is not joint at the same row to provide grip but then long end joints between boards could be just floating by itself and that would be the flex point although each board is short thus strong. That is the worry of having 4 legs type of board. Maybe can put one strip of 1/2" plywood strip to distribute weight as precaution? |

Not sure why anyone wants to raise the floor and have a bed.
Proper planning have to be done during reno then to decide if requires a bed, then the old platform to be dismantle or not constructed. It also depends on the weight of the person using the bed and the type of mattress. Two small kids will have less pressure on the platform. Cant say for two adults. Foam mattress will be lighter compared to spring type. This post has been edited by mini orchard: Jun 1 2021, 03:17 PM |

B4 you decide to dismantle the platform, if you are buying the 4 legs metal bed, you can cut 4 holes on the platform and insert the legs until it touches the floor.although i like the wooden floor. If you are ok with the design, then maintain it. If you want it to look neater, cut away the excess length of the leg so that the bottom bed sits exactly on the platform. Do proper measurement. Once you cut too long, then it wont sit on floor anymore. Decide properly the placement b4 cutting the hole. Actually is a nice platform and it will be a waste to throw it away.

QUOTE(neo_6053 @ Jun 15 2021, 01:29 AM) Don't have design & built contact that specialise in doing this. My brother DIY as he is an engineer and contractor, but not in Klang Valley. Anyhow, can get metalworks contractor to make them. Will PM you. Do consider: 1) cost 2) load bearing 3) JMB/MC approval To get quotation, probably just send room photo and dimension you want to do. If you self design with contractor, then consider the fixing. Structure+plywood+mattress+human+extra capacity = total load. Then each wall/ceiling plug take how much divided point load. Doing on masonry wall should be straightforward. But installing on RC shear wall, may need to inform JMB/MC. neo_6053 liked this post
