High beds and the upper bed of a bunk bed are not suitable for children under six years due to risk of injury
from falls.
Be aware of the danger of young children (under 6) falling from upper bunk.
Beds should not be used if any structural part is broken or missing.
Bunk beds and high beds can present a serious risk of injury from strangulation if not used correctly. Never
attach or hang items to any part of the bunk bed that are not designed to be used with the bed, for example,
but not limited to ropes, strings, cords, hooks, belts and bags.
Children can become trapped between the bed and the wall, a roof pitch, the ceiling, adjoining pieces of
furniture (eg cupboards) and the like. To avoid risk of serious injury the distance between the top safety
barrier and the adjoining structure shall not exceed 75mm or shall be more than 230mm.
Always ensure that guardrails, ladder and other components are maintained in the proper position and free
from damage, and all the screw fixings tight.
Always use the ladder for entering and leaving the upper bunk.
Do not allow horseplay on or under the bed and prohibit jumping on the bed.
Use a nightlight as an added safety precaution for persons under the upper bunk.
Use guardrails on both sides of the upper bunk.
Every bedroom must have at least one opening window. Ventilation of the room is necessary in order to keep
the humidity low and to prevent mould in and around the bed.
The bed complies with BS EN 747-1: 2012+A1 :2015 safety standards

CUSTOMER CARE
We have checked all parts to ensure they are free of damage. However timber is a natural, living product.
Occasionally timber can still be adjusting to humidity, for this reason a crack or stretch mark may appear after
the product has been packaged.
Strictly Beds and Bunks however have a FREE PARTS REQUEST
service in this unlikely event. You need to order a part please go to

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.
TOP TIPS - TOP TIPS
Read before you start assembly
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.
Corner Posts -
Make sure the WHITE Mark is facing
upwards and at the top when laid on the
floor. Place post ending “L” to the left,
“R” to the right

TOP TIP
Locate the screws in each hole, however only screw in
halfway at this stage. You need the product to be flexible and
allow movement at this stage. You MUST re-tighten fully once
assemble has been completed.
Attach the back guard rails and siderails

A Close up of each group of back
Guard Rail Positions

We now need to attach the two front side rails, the guard rails are attached later.
again using fixings B and C attach as per the above picture. These are fixed to
the third and sixth set of holes on each corner post. Once fixed you can now
tighten all fixings ready for the next phase.
Now we build the two ladders
We now need to build both the ladders, these consist of a short and long
ladder strut, you will therefore have four size ladder struts. Separate
these into two sets, two smaller ones togther, then the two larger ones.
Each will make a separate ladder.
Attach the Front SideRails
At this stage there is no left or right, we simply need to attach the ladder
steps. To prevent movement the ladder rungs need to be tight. The holes
on the ladder struts have been mis- drilled by 2mm to ensure a tight
fitting. Locate each ladder to the holes on the struts. Using the small
confirmat bolt (Fixing F) dip them in the glue and push BOTH through
the strut, you will note they will not quite meet the hole on the step.
To meet the holes on the step the bolts will be at an angle, this is correct.
Locate these over to the holes and screw both the bolts in evenly. If you
screw one in fully the second will not meet the hole, screw both in
slowly until tight. DO NOT attach the ladder hooks yet.

Ladders - Left or Right side of the bed ?
Depending on your preference you may want
to change which side the ladder are located,
this makes a difference on where you attach
the ladder hooks.
The IMPORTANT RULE is the long ladder
strut on both ladders should always be facing
the furthest away from each corner post. So
stand each ladder against the front of the bunk
bed. The picture to the left shows the small
ladder to the left, large ladder to the right.
NOTE: The fusion model does not have the
bottom base as shown in this picture.
We now need to attach the ladder hooks . Lean each ladder against the bunk bed. Using a pencil
mark the top of each side rail onto the back of the ladder struts. This now shows you the top of
each hook. Using fixing L attach the hooks to the ladder.
Now we attach the ladders to
the bed.
Using a tape measure mark 42cm from each corner
post, both left and right. Using this mark now hook
the ladders, the long strut to be in line with your
mark. Now using fixing L attach to the side rail.
Now we need to attach the
bottom ladder supports.
Using part 35 locate these behind both ladders. Attach the
part to each corner post using two dowel (A) and
confirmat bolt D. Now using long black screw(Q) screw
through the back of Part 35 into each ladder strut. Two
screws per section. No pilot holes are used to ensure a
tight fixing.

Attach the bottom front Guard rails
First select the bottom front guard rail (part
2N) marked white. Rest the spacer bar
(fixing A2) as shown in the picture, This
will ensure the correct gap is allowed.
Now using the long black fixing Q screw
through from the inside of the guard rail
into each long ladder strut.
Now select the top front guard rail (part 6)
marked red. Using fixing Aand D and
attach to the corner post. Now position the
spacer bar on top of the bottom guard rail
and again attach using fixing Q.
You will find FOUR part 4 (11A), these are attached
to the front of each guard rail combination. Using a
tape measure make a small pencil marking in the
centre of each guard rail combination. Using three
(E) screws attach each guard support from the
outside. The locations are:
Back Top guard rail
Back Bottom Guard Rail
Front Top Guard rail
Front Bottom Guard Rail
Attach the Four Guard Supports
Attach the front two guard rails
As before the top guard rail is marked Red and the
bottom is marked WHITE.
It is important that we use the guard rail spacer bar.. We will
start with the bottom white guard rail. Locate two dowels
into the end. Place the space bar on the top of the side rail.
Rest the guard rail on top of this.
Then using the long black screw and screw into the back of
the ladder support (PIC3).
Now place the spacer on top of white rail and locate the top
red. Again attach using the black screw.
We now screw another two black screws through the back
of the side rail into the back of the ladder strut to fix to the
bunkbed
IMPORTANT: The spacer bar must be used to ensure the correct, safe 70mm gap
between each guard rail. DO NOT align without this.

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.
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.
Attaching The Centre Rails
SINGLE BUNK BEDS - Attaching Two Centre Rails
Each bunk have a centre rail. From the inside of the bed we need to attach metal brackets, one either end. These
are fixed using the small screws (L), these are fixed to part 13 (blue) - third insert down from the top. Using a
tape mark a centre line from each corner post, then measure and mark 55mm from the top of the BLUE
Facia(13). Now position the top of the bracket (J) just below this mark, attach with the small screw (L)
DOUBLE BUNK BED - Attaching Four Centre Rails
Same as above except each bunk has TWO centre rails. So, rather than mark one centre point we need to mark
two. So, on part 13 Blue Facia
4ft Double Model - Mark two points 40cm from each corner post
4ft 6 Double Model - Mark two points 45cm from each corner post
Once the centre rail brackets are in place you can insert these before attaching the base slats
Due to the upright design of the ladder you may need to secure the bed to prevent
wobbling when is use. This is not a design fault of the bed but a result of a front
access ladder. If a floor is uneven, even by 1mm it can cause a bed to rock, again the
brackets will stop this. You can stabilise the bunk bed by attaching to the wall or to
your wooden skirting board. Using the corner bracket fixing P locate to the rear
corner posts under the side rail or at the base of the feet.
Using the base slat screws attach to the bed. Please note we have not supplied wall
fixings due to the many fixing types available. Consult your hardware store for the
best type.
