Bed Platform - Finishing Touches

Hey Guys,

I am in the process of finishing my bed platform, in the picture you will see the mockup. I still have some final touches to make for top access.

The wood I used is Big Box Store 1/2” Birch Plywood, all edges were finished with 1/4” round over. I am going to paint on wood glue to seal those edges first. Next I was planning to seal all surfaces with two coats of Behr clear waterproof sealant then lightly sand the top surface. Third step is applying two coats of Herculiner.

I live in the PNW so moisture is my biggest concern, carpet is out of the question. If anyone has specific experience or suggestions I am all ears.

Thank you

Really nice design. Very similar to what I hope To build once I have steady access to a garage.

Thank you, pretty stoked on how it is turning out. Definitely requires access to a garage, It has been a pretty lengthy process. :rofl:

Good news is that I am in no rush.

What did you use for a plan? This is exactly what im wanting to do, just not full height. for the floor, you could use something like this

I have this on my current platform and its great
