Right. So you need a helper who has done this work before. But there are no such classes. If you go to a library, they likely will have a section for do-it-yourself and you can learn a lot by studying the pictures. That is what I tried to convey with my link to online pictures.
A shop who would build and fit it for me want £2500 but if I do it for myself I can get it done for £400

You can usually get broken pallets for free, depending on your area, so that brings material cost way down. You can use a biscuit joiner to glue boards together after you have removed all the nails, so you can have any size pieces you need, still almost free. You will want a power sander to remove splinters and make the surface smooth, and after a while you might want a planer, although it have never used one.
BTW, save sawdust so you can mix it with Elmer's Glue to fill holes and gouges.
I want much better wood than pallets and much stronger my 2yr old could break a pallet
Uh, ... That is a very strange thing to say.
I think you just need to find somebody who is familiar with saws and hammers and stuff like that to show you what to do.
I'm familiar with tools I just don't know how to make a bunkbed. And why is it strange to say my child could break pallet wood my 2yr old could break it nevermind my 10yr old is don't want a botch job I was it high quality
But iv never built anything like this before it needs special adaptions and reinforcing and attached to the wall in don't even know what wood to use
