Familiarize yourself with all of the components in the Beta-DIY System, as
well as thoroughly study this manual so you may plan the steps required to
complete the project.
Study all illustrations and plan drawings. Make sure that the space available is
adequate for the specified dimensions of the bed cabinet, both in the open
and closed positions (see cut list pages 5-6 to cross check dimensions).
Panels should be 3/4” (19mm) ply core. Particle board is acceptable but with
more attention given to assembly procedures and handling. This is discussed
further in this manual.
