Make a stage! - With roll out bed!

Ever wanted to make a stage?.. Well now you can!
I do DJ gigs and I was running out of space to put my DJ gear, So why not build a stage?

This project took me just over a 3 weeks from drawing the plans to the finished project. I enjoyed this project and it was probably one of the best projects i've undertaken!

I hope you enjoy this project!

I love it! Do you have any idea how much weight the stage will support? I'd like to make it bigger for a queen sized trundle bed, and put a dresser, desk and chair on the stage. I can add oak floor boards on top of the loft boards if that helps, and I can put more legs on the sides and back, but do I need more reinforcement unerneath that big a stage???

This is a great project! I am moving into a new house soon and Always wanted a stage for my guitar playing. Thanks for the ideas dude.

However I might go the extra mile and put some kind of frame around the bed. And maybe paint the back wall green so you can use it for a greenscreen. Just some Ideas.
