Baby cot plans, but different.
My baby daughter is to have a baby of her own and has prevailed on her old Dad to build a cot.
Not just any cot!!!!!!!
She saw a picture in a magazine. Didn't keep the magazine, of course, and can't draw a picture.
The specis. are that it is conventional size but, in place of the drop down side, has two swinging (gate like) components forming one side.
"You know what I mean, Dad."
The baby is due in April.
Has anyone out there any idea of what she might be talking about.
I need help finding a plan for a cot

Opps dont know if this will turn up twice, lost the other in cyber space
this is our granddaughters cot....we made it on the same principle as a single bed, with sides its as solid as a rock will last a century....made with 70 x 35 pine, just draw a picture of it count the slats and calculate the whole project around the size of the matteress that your going to buy for it, that's where you start from, dont make it too snug just enough room for the sheets & rugs to tuck in, and of course wide enough apart for little arms not to get caught........best of luck, I would send you the measurements but cot is in Perth........will measure it next time I go up there if you want.......cheers

reason we made our granddaughters cot...
The very reason we made the cot was because we first offered to buy it....then we went looking for which one to buy.....
Very glad that I had my kids 30 years ago, I dont believe that the ASA standards are really good enough, ok for a sleeping baby, but I know how active my kids were.
I wanted it sturdier, safer, stronger & more suitable....plus I thought the idea of a cot that would last the life-time being passed through a family as an heirloom was interesting......this cot we made wont fail in a earthquake...it's like Fort Knox....strong as, safe as & built like a brick #### house.....lol. The catches, hinges & woodwork are safer & stronger than the cots you can buy......by about 1000%
