ABSTRACT:
A structure for bearing weight is disclosed which has a plurality of upwardly directed, horizontally spaced, hollow, elongated support posts, each with a sidewall. A first and a second generally horizontal beam, which are coplanar and horizontally spaced, extend between a first and a second pair of posts, respectively, and intersect their respective sidewalls. At least two parallel, spaced, coplanar joists are each supported by both of the beams. A first and a second generally horizontal, hollow, elongated support member is positioned parallel to and adjacent the first and second beam, respectively, and extends between and abuts the first and second pair of posts, respectively. Each of the support members has a sidewall, and at least one of the sidewall of each the support members and the pair of posts between which it extends, provides a group at least two apertures. Each aperture receives a portion of one of the joists to allow each joist to be supported by both beams. First and second retaining means retains the first and second support members in rigid contact with the first and second pair of posts, respectively. The structure for bearing weight may be configured as a fill bed. With the addition of a third and fourth beam, a third and fourth support member, third and fourth retaining means and another group of at least two coplanar joists, the structure may be configured as a bunk bed.
