Make a bunk bed
I decided to make a bunk bed for my room as it is small and I need a desk.
I'm a beginner at woodworking and I need some help.
I have made some "plans", I will put 7x2m stakes, 4x1.40m each around 10cm x 10cm wide. Each horizontal stake will have a angle bracket under ( https://www.hornbach.ch/shop/Corniere-dangle-a-charge-lourde-avec-une-nervure-150x150x65-mm-galvanisee-sendzimir-1-unite/8062988/article.html ). Each horizontal stake next to another will a a angle bracket between.
Is spruce wood a good choice ? Or maybe I should choose a stronger one ?
The bed must support 2 people ( around 140kg ), do you think it's strong enough ?

you should add a piece of plywood on top of the bottom three braces and also add a crosspiece in the center going the length of the bed.
I'm guessing this is what you had plans for?
