Removing top bunk and adding shelving

hey Zag, I took out the top bunk on my 172,  and used part of the bunk frame to make a shelf
from the bathroom wall across the bottom bunk to the front of the Pod.
it works great, didnt have to use anything but the material from the topbunk.

its just me  and so I didnt need the top bunk anyway. it was too close to the bottom bunk.

I just used the part of the bunk frame tht was behind the bath wall and kept it the same level as before so I didnt have to resize it .  I used the same screws and same screw holes and everything. Unless you want to raise it up you will have to cut it to size, because the width  gets smaller as the front wall rises up. this way it was pretty easy to do. I use it for setting a tv on it and storing clothes and bedding  when traveling. as you can see I used the side rail of the bunk for the front of the shelf.  Using the same materials made it alot easier. Hope this helps.
