In the last year, I gave up on the rope bed because it was more trouble to
put together and I couldn't solve the fact that they tend to sag. I created
a platform bed to solve these problems. Both this one and the rope bed were
double beds built to fit a double air mattrass.

For some information and suggestions on what over people have done, take
a look at this file in the HOME, SWEET HOME section of my Florilegium:

Some of the information in this file might also be useful:
