So I'm getting close to being ready to build the ladder for my bunk bed project. The plans I'm using mention that you can build 2 copies of their twin bed plan and bunk them, but they don't go into a lot of detail on the actual extra parts for the bunk bed (ladder and rails) other than showing them in a sketch and describing a few hints.
Should I angle the front and rear faces of the rungs to match the angle of the ladder? This way I could place the rungs in dados without having any extra gaps in the sides. I've also considered using sliding dovetails because I think it would look cool and be super sturdy without any additional hardware...
Any advice or shared experience (or pointers to relevant plans) would be welcome.
Thanks!
