Making Over My Son’s Room Part 6: Rope Ladder

We're back at it again with part 6 of my son's epic room makeover. So far I've done the bed, slide platform, reading nook, the bridge between the bed and slide, the railing, and the loft above the bed. Today I'm doing the rope ladder, which wasn't originally planned, but I really wanted something in this original plan. When I was building the slide platform both of my kids loved jumping off and wanted us to catch them. After talking with my husband, we decided that adding a dedicated jumping off spot was going to be the best and safest option. After adding this I wanted to add an additional way for them to climb up because there is enough space for that. Deciding exactly what to do took some time. I ordered something and it came and when it came it was too wide because the space was only 24 inches. Most rope ladders are 30 inches minimum so it was a bit tricky. I ordered one thinking that I could modify it a little bit, but I was wrong. After a lot of back and forth I finally decided to just make my own because I was pretty convinced that I could do it.
