Thanks yugomodder. I am thinking about 1/2" or 3/4" EMT for the frame. It's a material I am very familiar with. 20+ years as an electrician and probably 20 more to go if the construction economy doesn't turn around soon. For starters I was going to use coroplast screwed to the EMT in panels so I don't have to fight the angles and transitions. I was thinking of a cheap pexiglass piece part way down the final (larger) slope with extra ribs added to give me a place to screw it to. I have an idea on how to make the bed accessible but I can't give away all my ideas, can I? LOL. I have to leave a teaser hanging out there to keep the interest up, eh?

Thanks for the help.
