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
ADDITIONAL SAFETY NOTICE
Be aware of the danger from falling from the top bunk
through the end ladder if the bed is being mis-used. Educate
the user NOT to roll or horseplay due to this risk of falling.

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.

First we need to create headboards. The corner posts have a white chalk marking. VERY
IMPORTANT - these indicate the top of the post, at the base they will have PNL - (left side) and PNR -
(right side). Select one of each, place 1x PNL to the left, PNR to the right.
You MUST have the white chalk marking at the top facing you. This is important, the white chalk mark
must be facing you.
Grab 3 each of the red, white and blue inserts and locate as diagram.
Repeat for the second headboard, however now use the MINI headboard inserts

corner posts.
Ensure you have the headboard inserts
in order, red white and blue. In the large
hole locate the dowel rods. Push these
in tight, do not use a hammer. We
suggest pushing them down on the
floor to a tight finish.
Using the fixings shown on page three
attache these to the corner posts using
the long BOLT D - 90mm connecter.
Fully tighten.

Now two people are required for this. We are now attaching the back guard raids and side
rails. Ensure the white chalk markings are facing inside the bed. From the top of the picture
you need to find and attach the following:
Top Guard Rail - RED - Part 2 x 1
Bottom Guard Rail - WHITE - Part 3 x 1
Siderail - Universal - Part 1 x 1
Top Guard Rail - RED - Part 2 x 1
Bottom Guard Rail - WHITE - Part 3 x 1

ON page three all fixings required are confirmed as per colour code.
PLEASE NOTE: If you want the long end ladder to the right hand side locate
the headboard upright with the mini end rails to the right. If you want to the left
locate to the left side.
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.

Now two people are required for this. We are now attaching the FRONT guard raids and side rails.
Ensure the white chalk markings are facing inside the bed. From the top of the picture you need to
find and attach the following:
Top Guard Rail - RED - Part 6 x 1
Bottom Guard Rail - WHITE - Part 7 x 1
Siderail - Universal - Part 1 x 1
( note you are leave the next FOUR holes free for the guard rails on the next step)
Siderail - Universal - Part 1 x 1
Siderail - Universal - Part 1 x 1
ON page three all fixings required are confirmed as per colour code.
We now need to build the front smaller ladder. For this you
will need the following:
Part 11 - long ladder strut
Part 13 - Small ladder strut
Part 12 - THREE ladder rungs/steps
The ladder consist of one long strut, one short strut and
three steps. There is no top, bottom, left or right. Using the
small 50mm confirmat (F) bolts simply attach the steps to
the each ladder strut.
Once the ladder has been built we need to fix TWOx
ladder hooks. Lean the ladder against the side rail.
With a pencil mark, on the inside mark the top of the
siderail to the long ladder strut. Now screw the ladder
hook just below this mark and to the top of the smaller
strut. TOP TIP
The ladder is universal. If the ladder is going to
the right hand side the long ladder strut will be
to the left facing you. You would then screw the
ladder hook on the inside. Reverse if you wish
it to go on the left.
-------New 2nd Headboard
design

Now we need to attach the two front
guard rails.
First select the bottom front guard rail
(part 9) 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 10) 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.
We now need to build the end ladder.
Select the both long ladder struts (part 19) and position as shown
with the ladder steps (part4)
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.

Once the ladder has been built we need to fix FOUR x
ladder hooks. Lean the ladder against the end rail.
With a pencil mark, on the inside mark the top of the
each blue headboard insert ( third and sixth one down).
Now screw the ladder hook just below this mark and to
the top of the smaller strut.
Once the ladder hooks have been
allocated lean against the bunk and screw
to the four end mini guard rails.
The top bunk has a centre rail. From the inside of the bed we need to attach two metal brackets, two
either end. These are fixed using the small screws (L), these are fixed to part 13 (blue) - third insert
down from the top. Loosely place a base slat at each end of the bed. Locate the bracket with the
centre rail so it is flush underneath the base slat. Now mark with a pencil. Attach the brackets using
the small fixing L.
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.
Once you have attached the base slats we need to secure the
centre rail to the base slats. Select any central base slat. Then from
the top, using fixing E , base slat screw through the base slat into
the centre rail. No pilot hole is provided to ensure a tight fitting.
Attach The Base Slats
Attach The Centre Rail

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
Important Notice-
Due to the upright design of the ladder you may need to secure the
bed to prevent wobbling or pulling forward 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.
