Dad saves hundreds by building his son a jungle-themed treehouse bed & it even has its own balcony and skylight
A CRAFTY husband created an incredible treehouse-themed bed for his son, after being quoted hundreds to get it done professionally.
Steven and Kayleigh Hardy revealed their little boy requested a jungle-themed bedroom, but the parents were shocked by the £800 price tag that came with it.
Not wanting to disappoint his son, Steven rolled up his sleeves and got stuck into some DIY, after Kayliegh designed a structure.
The pair managed to make their son’s dream come to life for a fraction of the cost, adding he was 'over the moon' with his new bed.
The treehouse themed design comes complete with a balcony, skylight and sensor lights - which even has handy storage at the bottom.
Faux foliage was draped around the frame for the finishing touch, and Kayleigh says the only thing that’s left is glow in the dark stars for the ceiling.
She shared the jungle masterpiece to Facebook group , saying: “In the jungle the mighty jungle the Lion sleeps tonight.
“My Husband Steven Hardy recent diy project.
“Our son asked if he could have a treehouse bed.
“We didn't fancy spending £800+ on one so I designed this one and my husband made it.
“Created for less than a quarter of what we would have paid had we have bought from an online store.
The doorway was designed so we can fit in to change the bedding
