SAFETY WARNINGS
Tool Free Bed with Enclosure Rails
Tool Free beds are designed for nine different configurations. For safety, beds should be only
configured in one of these nine styles and are not to be assembled in any other manner. For proper
assembly of the bed frame please follow the Tool Free Bed Assembly Instructions attached as it
relates to you particular choice of bed style.
1. Each bed has been designed for a specific mattress size so that no greater than 1" is left
between the mattress and the bed end structure to prevent the likelihood of serious injury or
fatalities due to entrapment or falls. The table below specifies the appropriate and only
mattress size to be used with each bed. Absolutely do not use a different mattress size!

2. Guardrails are available and required for bunking or lofting beds. Check with your
Student Housing staff. Guardrails are to be used on both sides of the top bed when
bunked or lofted. Top pin location in not to be used when bunked or lofted.
3. Top surface of mattress must be at least 5" (five inches) below the upper edge of the
guardrails if guardrails are in use. A guardrail may terminate before reaching the bed end
structure, providing there is no more than 15 inches between either end of the guardrail and
the bed end structures in the same plane.
4. Do not allow children under six years of age to use the upper bunk.
5. Periodically check and ensure that the guardrails, ladder, and other components are in their
proper position, free from damage, and that all connectors are tight. Four each 3/8"
diameter x 4" long steel pins should be used - one at each post connection - when lofting or
bunking Tool Free Beds.
6. Do not allow horseplay on or under the bed and prohibit jumping on the bed.
7. Only use the built-in ladder formed by the end slats of the bed boards or the ladder
provided for entering and leaving the upper bed if in a loft or a bunk.
8. Do not use substitute parts. Contact your Student Housing staff for correct substitute or
repair parts. You may contact us directly for information.

Assembly Instructions for Tool Free Bed
Each bed comes with the following:
Two each 37" headboards
Two each steel bed rails with attached wood deck enclosure rails
One three-piece or one single-piece plywood deck.
Two each 3/8" x 4" bunking pins.
Tools that may be used for assembly:
Rubber mallet
Allen Wrench for Guardrails
For configurations 1-5 follow these instructions:
1. Place the two headboards and steel side rails with connected bed deck enclosure rails on the
floor in the general configuration desired. The groove section with inserted metal pin
channel should be toward the inside.
2. Insert the steel side rail onto the desired pin location. Push down onto pins or if needed use
a rubber mallet to tap into place.
3. Place bed deck onto side rails in between deck enclosure rails. NEVER install deck inside
steel rails which do NOT have wood deck enclosure rails. Proper deck enclosure rail
installation has bottom flush with bottom of steel rail and top raised above top of steel rail to
capture bed deck between the two deck enclosure rails. Bed is ready for mattress.
For bed configurations 6-9 follow these instructions:
1. Begin by assembling the lower bed frame of the loft or bunk. Place the two headboards and
steel side rails on the floor in the general configuration desired.
2. In a bunk bed position, insert the steel side rails onto the bottom pin location of each
headboard. In a loft bed configuration, insert one steel side rail onto the middle pin location
of each headboard. Push down onto pins or if needed use a rubber mallet to tap into place.
3. Place four 4" steel bunking pins in each post of assembled bottom frame. For safety, do
NOT use any other substitute for these pins.
4. Place headboards over pins on each side. BE VERY CAUTIOUS OF PINCHING A
FINGER BETWEEN THE TOP AND BOTTOM BED POST AS THEY SLIP OVER
THE PINS.
5. With a person at each headboard, tap steel side rail with connected wood deck enclosure rail
onto each side of headboard in desired location.
6. Place bed deck onto side rails in between deck enclosure rails of bed. NEVER install deck
inside steel rails which do NOT have wood deck enclosure rails. Proper deck enclosure rail
installation has bottom flush with bottom of steel rail and raised above top of steel rail to
capture bed deck between the two deck enclosure rails.
7. Place mattress onto bed.

NOTE:Guardrails are available and required for bunking or lofting beds. Check with your
Student Housing staff. Guardrails are to be used on both sides of the top bed when bunked or
lofted.
Guardrail Instructions:
Description: The tool free bolt on guardrail is designed to fit onto the decorative/deck enclosure rail
that is attached to the steel rail (side rail assembly). The wood rail is referred to as a decorative rail.
However, in its application at Stanford, it is an essential component that keeps the bed deck in
place. Components of the guardrail consist of a wood rail with two holes at both ends, two JC cap
nuts inserted into these holes which receives the threads, and two _-20 x 35mm JC bolts.
Installation: With face of guardrail up, pound JC cap nut into holes at each end of guardrail. Align
the guardrail to the bed rail (decorative rail), making sure that the JC cap nuts are on the outside.
Reach under the rail and insert the JC bolt through the rails and thread into the JC cap nut. Tighten
to secure.
A guardrail may terminate before reaching the bed end structure, providing there is no more than 15
inches between either end of the guardrail and the bed end structures in the same plane.
Configurations:
1. Single Bed Rails placed on bottom pin location.
2. Elderhostel Bed
Headboards right side up. Rails on middle pin location.
