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 use 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 mush 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

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.

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

We need to build the two headboards at either end of the bunk bed. You will find four corner posts,
two marked L-left, two marked R-right.. Separate into two piles, one left and one right.
Get one left and one right and lay as so face down on the carpet as shown above. You will note a
white chalk mark on each post, very important. This indicates the top of each post and the row of
holes that accepts the side/ guard rails.
You will have two headboard facias marked red and blue and a colour panel per headboard. Place
the blue facia at the bottom, then insert the panel the red facia at the top. The colour panel has a
tongue and groove lip, ensure this at the bottom facing downwards. Once in position Insert these
as per this picture. The fixings required for each insert are as follows:
Red: 1 x large confirmat 1 x Dowel rod
Blue: 1 x large confirmat 2 x Dowels
Now we need to attach the siderails and
With a second person we now need to connect a side
rail at the rear of the bed. Place both the complete
headboards upright. Important, the white chalk marks
MUST be facing inwards.
Using the block of three holes attach the siderail. DO
NOT over tighten. Dip bolt C into some glue first
(this will act as a lock tight when dry) simply attach
using bolt B We will tighten these up later, we still
need to get the guard rails in.
Find the Two guard rails and locate
the dowel rods to each.
REMEMBER DO NOT push the
dowels all the way in.
Assemble The Two Headboards
RED
BLUE
Tongue at Bottom

Select the long ladder strut (part20) and the short ladder strut (part 21) and
position as shown with the ladder steps (part 4)
When installed 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 long struts. Using the small confirmat bolt 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. This is important, DO
NOT tighten one at a time. Both together, The bolts will align and pull the ladder
step in. This ensures a tight fixing. Complete one side then go to the next.
Now we need to attach the back two guard rails. These are identified RED for
the top rail and WHITE for the bottom.Again using a second person fix the
dowel rods where required. Insert the white guard rail (two dowel holes per
end). Now get the red top guard rail (one dowel and one bolt D) and locate.
TIP. DO NOT screw in bolt D until last. Once in place first tight bolts B & C
on the siderail. Once push in tight dip bolt D into some glue and screw in.
Once the back guard and siderails are in place we need to attach
the front siderail. Again using bolts B & C.
Dip bolt C into some glue and attach. This time you can tighten
the bolts.
Now we need to attach the back guard rails.
Now we need to Build and The Ladder
We now need to mark where the ladder hooks go. So from the BOTTOM measure and place a pencil mark
as follows:
Long strut - first mark 80mm, second mark 1170mm
Short strut - first mark 80mm, second mark the very top of strut.
Now position the ladder hooks as shown to the marks and attach using the small fixing screw L
We now need to think what side is the ladder going on. This makes a
difference to which side we attach the ladder hooks. If you want the ladder
to the RIGHT side of the bed. Lay the ladder flat on the floor with the long
strut to your LEFT. If you want the ladder to the LEFT side of the bed.
Lay the ladder flat on the floor with the long strut to your RIGHT.

Section : Attach the ladder, left or right ?
Now we have attached the ladder hooks we locate the ladder.
Place the long ladder strut to the outside of the 40cm pencil
mark (furthest away from the corner post). This will mean the
net distance between the corner post and the long ladder strut
will be 40cm.
Using the small screw (L) attach to the side rail.
We now need to position the ladder. There are two methods.
Method ONE- Select one of the front guard rails (part6)
If you wish the ladder to go on the RIGHT side of the bunk
position the front guard rail flush from the left corner post.
At the end of the guard rail make a pencil mark. If you wish
the ladder to go to the LEFT side position the front guard
flush to the right corner post and make your mark.
Method Two- If the ladder is to go on the right side measure
40cm from the right corner post and make your mark. If the
ladder is on the left post measure 40cm from the left post
and make your mark.
First select the bottom front guard rail (part 7) marked
white. Using fixings A attach to the corner post. Rest the
spacer bar (fixing A2) as shown in the picture at the end
of the rail. 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 the long ladder strut.
Now select the top front guard rail (part 6) marked red.
Using fixing A and 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
Now we need to attach the front Guard Rails

Section : Now we attach guard rail supports
These two rails prevent the guardrails from being forced apart, very important. Using a tape
measure find the centre of the back guard rail and centre of the front guard rail.
Make a small pencil mark. Then attach each guard rail support to the front using the screws
provided. These cover both the two guard rails and secure onto the side rail.
Attach The Base Slats
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.
Section : Added safety
Important Notice- Due to the nature of the bed, ie being top heavy you must
secure the bed to the skirting or wall. Uneven floors or over active use can
cause the bed to move. You cannot use the bed until the brackets have been
secured.
Using the corner bracket fixing P, locate to the rear corner posts under the side
rail. Use a base slat screw and attach to the bed. Now attach to the wall to
secure. Please note we have not supplied wall fixings due to the many fixing
types available. Consult your hardware store for the best type.
