Attaching the Steps & Shelves to the Bed
The Steps & Shelves may be attached anywhere on the bed. Once you decide on placement you
need to pre-drill pilot holes into the rungs to match up with the Risers. If you place the Steps &
Shelves on the Front (long side) you will be attaching them to the legs.
Example of completed installation.

Install Optional Handrail
If you ordered the optional Handrail it may be attached to either side of the Steps & Shelves. The
Handrail Supports are attached to the side of the Steps & Shelves. Place a small bead of glue on the
Handrail Support where is touches the Steps & Shelves. Attach the Handrail Supports with 2-1/2”
screws wherever you see a pilot hole. Drive the screws very slowly into the Steps & Shelves making
sure you are hitting the center of the board underneath.
Attach the handrail brackets and the handrail to the top of the Handrail Supports. Attach the bracket
with the (3) long screws into the Handrail Support and the (2) short screws into the Handrail.
