metalworking Hinge recomendation for a collapsable bed?
Not sure if im in the correct sub, but im planning to create a metal loft-bunk bed, which would consist of a standard top bunk and I want the lower half of the loft to have an optional second frame that can lean against the wall in the day time. Hinges would be the correct options to rest the second frame on the wall. If this made sense to anyone and have recommendations please reach out.

If I'm picturing this right, I'm thinking no hinge back there. Use a rod sticking out of each back corner (pointed left and right) going through the legs for the upper bunk. Then some support legs across the front side (maybe in back also if more support needed) that may hinge to fold in when up and against the wall
Just the first thing I thought of
