Introduction
If your pets sleep as much as ours and like to snuggle together,
why not build them a bunk bed to sleep in together? This DIY pet
bunk bed is perfect for your dog to sleep below and your cat to
perch up high. You can build this project using pocket holes or
using a nail gun for the platforms and long deck screws for
connecting the legs.

The plans are easy to follow, but please contact

Sean@CharlestonCrafted.com if you have any questions! If you’d
