Re: Boys bedroom/prepper storage.
Out of interest what software did you use to create the models?

I doubt you will find them cheaper elsewhere.. and they supply the old style jute ones... the quote on the site says 1000 for £340+vat but I guess you could call them ask for a quote for 50 or so....

Re: Boys bedroom/prepper storage.
Careful with the sandbags, I noticed you said they'd be well fixed, but you should be sure the place can take that additional weight, good luck it looks great.
I have a strategy, it's not written in stone, nor can it be, this scenario has too many variables, everything about it depends on those variables, being specific is not possible.

If the sand bags are just for effect how about filling with bean bag beans lot lighter

Re: Boys bedroom/prepper storage.
Sand bags on the bottom 3 layers will be sand filled the rest above will be filled with packing peanuts. (this stuff makes great stuffing for under sheets is freezing temps)
Also the software is "Googles" sketch up.
i now have 2 huge olive camo nets which will cover the ceiling.

Re: Boys bedroom/prepper storage.
Because I'm like that, I went and had a poke around on that site
Turns out 'proper' hessian ones can be had for 85p each including VAT and delivery to UK mainland, and you only have to order a bundle of 100...... I wonder if I can justify getting a load

Bettersafethansorry - Great use of Google Sketch Up! Oh and I'm sure the bedroom will turn out great too. 
Best not let my boy see your plan though, otherwise I'll never hear the end of it.

Re: Boys bedroom/prepper storage.
Damn! I would have killed for a room like that when i was a kid.
One thought though, in your sketches the sides of the tables a closed. Even in front of the computer. If you do it that way you cant sit in front of the table (as you legs cant go under the table). IMO you would need to open the area under the table in front of the computer (and maybe all along that side - i know, you would be loosing valuable storage space, but when your son has his friend(s) over for a gaming session (or homework) they would need more deskspace).
