Top Bunk Playspace?

Hi everyone,



I am wanting to convert the top bunk space of my daughter's room into a sort of play room. I was thinking of getting a piece of plywood to lay down on the metal bars (it is a metal bed) and then cover them in pieces of laminate wood flooring. It is only twin size- I am wondering if this would work? I have been hunting the internet to find a similar project but most of them are the wood bunk beds and I am not seeing anything with the metal ones. If anyone can help I would appreciate it! :vs_whistle:

Hey there everyone! The framework is surprisingly sturdy. What it is is a metal loft bed but she turned out to not love being up so high. I hadn't even considered how slippery it would be thats a good point! And that square carpet tile would probably work out a lot better as the way the siding is on the bed I was thinking the laminate flooring would not have any push against it. As for the strength of the steel bars, I am not entirely sure! Has held up good so far- we have had it for about a year and a half now!
