Floating bed over staircase. What screws are best to use? Should I add supporting legs?
Hi all. My daughters bedroom is very small so we want to add a floating single bed to give her more space. We can't get a loft bed as the staircase protrudes into that corner of the bedroom which is also the only space the bed can go. The previous owners built straight into the base of the stairs and used it for support but we want to raise it about a metre. It will be secured on 3 solid walls and we plan to integrate a wardrobe at the end. Will securing it to the 3 solid walls be enough support or should I add some legs in just to be sure? What size/type of screw is best? I've seen on other posts lag screws would be best but that seems to be for stud walls rather than solid brick. Any help or advice is appreciated!
