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

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.
TOPTIPS - TOPTIPS
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.

Section : Build non ladder headboard
Section : Build ladder headboard
We need to build the ladder end headboard. You will find
two corner posts, two marked L-left, two marked R-right.
Locate one left and one right post and lay down on the
carpet, You will note a white chalk mark on each post. This
indicates the top of each post and the row of holes that
accepts the side/ guard rails. Make sure the white markings
are at the top and facing you.
Now locate the headboard facias as follows from the top:
BLUE (third row of holes) BLUE (fourth row of holes)
Use the fixings as described on the “identify your parts” page

We need to build the two headboards at either end of the bunk bed. You will find four corner posts, On the
BOTTOM of the post they will be marked with an end letter L - Left or R-Right.
Select one left (L) and one right (R) and lay as so face down on the carpet as shown above.
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 six headboard inserts per headboard. These are colour coded at the end in marker pen. Part 15 Red
(top), Part 14 white (middle) and Part 13 blue (bottom) Insert these as per this picture using fixings Aand D.
Dip fixing D into the glue prior to fixing. Now repeat for the second headboard.
NOTE: Goliath Model - This bed does not have the bottom RED and WHITE headboard facias. You will be
fixing four only per headboard.
You will note a white
chalk mark THIS MUST BEAT THE TOPAND FACING YOU.

We now need to attach the two rear side
rails
These are universal. See image on left - Side rails are third and fourth down.
Locate the first side rail to the third set of holes from the top. Using fixings A,
B & C attach to the corner posts. Now position the bottom side rail to the
bottom group of holes again using fixings A, B & C. When attaching fixing C
dip into the glue, this will secure the fixing when dry. TIP- Do not fully tighten
yet fixings B & C, we still need to attach the guard rails and need movement.
Now we need to attach the back guard
rails, these go at the very top.
Top Guard Rail, part 2 - Marked RED
Bottom Guard Rail, part 3 - Marked WHITE
Please note the mattress safety notice MUST be facing inside the
bunk. Once the guard rails have been attached now tighten the side
rail fixings.
Now we need to attach the two front
side rails.
We start with the top side rail, using the top group of holes attach to
the bottom set, again using fixings A, B & C.
Now attach the bottom side rail to the last group of holes, again
using fixings A, B & C. Remember to dip fixing C into the glue
prior to attaching. Fully tighten.

Now we Build the Ladder
You will have two ladder struts, these need to be connected to the ladder.
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 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. 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 you need to attach the mini rails,
top and bottom of the bunk bed.
At the ladder end using the eight mini-side rails, You have
already attached the blue full headboard facia (13). You will
have eight mini guard rails. Locate as shown REDx4- Top
(E10) Fixing D and A , Whitex4- Bottom (E09).Fixing A.
Attach to each corner post, this will then leave a gap for the
ladder to be inserted.

Fixing The ladder to the bed
First we need to attach the ladder hooks. Lean the ladder up against the bunk bed ensure it is
resting on the floor. The top of the ladder has the largest gap, ensure the lowest ladder rung is at
the bottom. Now with a pencil mark the TOP of each part 13. This is shown as “M) in all pictures.
You will make two top marks and two bottom ones. Position the four ladder hooks as shown in
pic2 to the top of each pencil mark

Attaching the ladder
Now we have the four hooks in place we lift
the ladder onto the bunk bed, the hooks go
over part 13, top and bottom. These are
shown as “M” on PIC4. Centre the ladder so
each of the mini guard rails reach the ladder
strut.
Once in place push down, these are designed
to be tight. Now we need to attach each of
the mini guard rails to the back of the ladder
strut. Using the spacer bar we need to ensure
a 70mm gap between each guard rail. Start
from the bottom. Rrest the spacer on top of
the blue insert then rest the white mini rail
on top. This is shown in PIC3. Once in place
attach with the BLACK long screw. Now
place the spacer on top of the white middle
mini rail and locate the top RED mini rail as
shown. Again attach using the BLACK long
screw. Repeat this process.

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 - 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 BEDS - 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

Important Notice-
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.
Section : Added safety
Attach Support Legs
We have supplied optional Side rail support legs (EVEREST
BUNK ONLY) These strengthen the bed further to make the model
for heavy duty use. This leg is optional but is recommended.
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 are no access hole given
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.
Now we attach guard rail supports
These two rails prevent the guard rails 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.
