Clean out the Pre-drilled Holes
You have brought a solid pine product. During the drilling
process there may be sawdust still in the holes.
BEFORE you start assembly clear these holes with one of the
bolts. Push the bolt through each hole, this will dislodge any
sawdust or debris that could interfere with fixing the bed.

NO YES
Locating the Dowel Rods
To keep the bed from rattling all the dowel holes have
been slightly mis-drilled by a couple of mm. When you
push parts together the dowels will straighten and pull
together to ensure a tight fit. Whenever you locate a dowel
on the hole NEVER push it all the way in, leave it so it is
loose and can be aligned with the second locating hole.
Push them all the way in and they will not line up.
GLUE SACHET INCLUDED
We have included a sachet of glue.
THIS IS NOT TO BE USED with the dowel rods.
Open the sachet and empty into a plastic container.
Whenever you connect a confirmat bolt (D) or a connector
bolt (B) into a barrel bolt (c) dip the end of the bolt in the
wood glue and screw in as normal. This will act as a lock
tight and prevent the bolt from working loose.
Applying a Finish to the Beds
The bed can be used in a natural form. However if you are
applying a stain or finish we advise that you build the bed first.
When you are happy with your purchase then put a sheet under
the product and apply your stain/paint to the manufacturers
recommendations.
NOTE: we are unable to accept the return, under any
circumstance once a finish has been applied. By painting the bed
you have deemed to accept the quality.

Build the headboards PIC 1 - First Select the top headboard posts.
These will be marked AL ( lay on the left side)
and AR (lay on the right side). IMPORTANT:
These posts will have a white chalk marking,
these MUST be facing you and at the top when
laying on the carpet.
You will also see two headboard facias marked
red 4G and headboard inserts. Place as shown
in the PIC 1.
Pic 1
Place dowel rods in all the
headboard inserts as described
above. Then push fit them
together with the two headboard
facias. This now completed the
headboard facia.
Locate the dowel rods as described above to
each corner post. Remember, post marked with
an L is on the left, R is on the right. Using BOLT
B and C push the connector bolt through the
corner post. Locate the barrel not inside the circle
hole and screw together.
Build The Footboards - The process is exactly the same however using
the smaller headboard inserts and the bottom corner posts STR and
STL
Attach the side rails and centre rail
The side rails are universal, left or right. Firstly ensure there is no sawdust or
debris in the access holes. Using a bolt push through to clear. Now insert the
dowel rods at all ends, do not push all the way in.
With the help of a second person start from the right side and attach to the head
and footboard to the side rails. Place the barrel bolt within the round access hole
on the side rail. Now dip bolt B into the glue and push through to connect to the
barrel bolt. This side rail is designed not too move so the fixing is tight.

Attach the side rail support legs
It is important this leg is attached as it supports
the side rail. Measure a half way point on the side
rail. Place the support leg under the side rail from
the outside. Using two black screws attach from
the inside of the side rail. Note there is no access
hole as the screws are self threading
The centre leg will hover slightly off the floor, when
the bed is in use it will move down and support the
bed. This is to protect the leg if the bed moves.
If you have ordered a guest bed simply do not attach the from side rail support leg.
We Now need to attach the base slats.
You will have twelve extra wide base slats. Push the first
slat tight with the footboard corner posts, then using the
base slat spacer block evenly space out the remaining base
slats. DO NOT SCREW IN PLACE YET.
Now push the slats flush to the left hand side rail and
screw in (do not screw the right hand side yet). Now go to
the right hand side and start with the slat near the centre.
Push the side rail in so the slat is flush, then fix using the
screw. This aligns the side rail. Now fix the remaining base
slats.
Attach Centre Rail and Support Leg
You will find two metal brackets, these are fixed to the bottom facia on the head and foot
boards (blue). With a tape measure mark the centre of the headboard facia. Using the
small screws attach to the bottom of the facia board. Then insert the centre rail, included
will be a centre rail support leg. This MUST be placed under the bed, do not use without.
TIP:-When you have attached the base slats you will
have additional base slats screws. Out of the 12 slats
screw 4 of them directly into the centre rail. Using the
base slat screws simply drill through the top of the
base slat into the centre rail. This will further
strengthen the bed.
