Total cost of the lumber to build an OP Bunkbed should be around
$120, and can be purchased from your local
lumber yard or at most any home improvement store such as
Lowes or Home
Depot. Here is a list of what you would need to build a twin
size OP Bunkbed:
Lumber
- 12 pcs 2" x 6" x 96" pine board
- 11 pcs 2" x 4" x 93" pine board

at a general hardware store like those mentioned above, the price
will run around $90 or more.
