CHECKING/CRACKING:
It’s normal for all cedar log furniture to develop some checks in the wood. Checking occurs as a log releases moisture across or
through the annual growth rings. It does not aect the structural integrity of the wood. All logs which contain the heart of the
tree will develop lengthwise cracks or checks. e check never goes deeper than the heart.

2 1/2” mortise (round hole cut into head and foot boards). e bed rails have right angles cut into them the full
length of the rail. e right angles on the bed rails have a long at-edge and a short at-edge.

When rails are correctly installed, the short at-edge should be aligned vertically as seen below.
5. Insert one end of the Log Side Rails into 2 1/2” mortises (pre-drilled holes) on front side of headboard.
6. is step applies ONLY to Double/Single and Queen/Single bunk beds

7. is step applies ONLY to Single/Single, Double/Double, and Queen/Queen bunk beds
a. ese beds come with 2 secondary bed rails. ese secondary bed rails are not quartered out
(no right angle cut in). e mortises are located on the main post, above the bed rail mortises.
b. e secondary bed rails should be placed into mortises so the small end of the secondary rail is
directly above the large end of the bed rail.

(Do not tighten completely at this time). Hint: Scraping the lag screw accross a bar of soap or wax will make it
easier to install the screw.
9. Insert the other end of Log Side Rails into 2 1/2” mortises of footboard. Screw the lag screw in about ¾ of the
way. (Do not tighten completely at this time).

and 1 has a slot) – stand the other upright in the slot and screw together – approx height will be 8.25”. Lay
assembled T-Support on the oor in the center of the bed running from head to foot and centered between the
two side rails.
11.Lay all 5 slats onto wide at portion of the Log Side Rails. Secure the slats with the screws provided
(1 screw on each end is sucient.) Do not over-tighten the screws as this will cause the slats to split.

FIRESIDELODGEFURNITURE.COM | 877-568-6188 5
Important! For safety, the slats at the head and foot must be spaced so the gap to the headboard and to the
footboard is 3” or less. e remaining slats may be evenly spaced between the two end slats.
12. Insert Right Hand Assembled Bunk rail (as marked on rail) into upper mortises of headboard and footboard.
(All left and right rails are based upon standing at foot of bed and facing headboard). You may have to gently
tip either the headboard or footboard out slightly to get the rail assembly into the mortises.
13. THIS STEP Applies ONLY to Double/Doubles, Double/Queens, and Queen/Queen bunk beds.
a. After the right-hand rail assembly has been placed & tapped into mortises, you can place the 5 support
rails into the mortises of bottom quartered out rail of bunk assembly.
b. e at surfaces of the rails should be facing up and level.
c. With another person lift left bunk assembly up into lower mortises of left side of bunk – be sure to have
top rail spun out to the side of upper mortises. e second person will place tenons of support rails into
matching mortises of left hand bunk rail assembly.
d. Spin upper rail up and into mortises

15. Some tapping of support rails will be necessary to get the left assembly into mortises. Lift the Plywood over
the bunk rail (right or left side) and slip it into the top bunk mattress position (It may be necessary to slip
one assembled bunk rail out of the top holes to drop the plywood in). Important! For safety, the plywood
must be positioned so the gap to the headboard and to the footboard is 3” or less.
