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.

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

Now we Build the Ladder
Depending on your model we have two ladder types, slanted
or straight .
If slanted model you will have two identical ladder struts
If Straight ladder, you will have two different size ladder
struts.
At this stage is makes no difference, you 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.
We now need to attach the side rails
(Model shown slightly different bit method the same)
With the help of a second person stand both the headboards up. The white
CHALK MARKINGS must be facing inwards ready to attach
the guard and side rails. Start by attaching the back two, then the front. The
side rails go in the third and fourth (bottom) set of hole groups on the corner
post.
Shown in PIC 5 on page 5. DO NOT TIGHTEN THESE YET, simply attach
the bolts but leave loose until you have attached the guard rails.
Now we need to attach the guard rails to the
front and back.
Top Guard Rail, part 2 - Marked RED
(fixing, see PIC1 on page 5)
Bottom Guard Rail, part 3 - Marked WHITE
(fixing, see PIC2 on page 5)
Please note the mattress safety notice MUST be facing inside the bunk and
not upside down. Once the guard rails have been attached now tighten ALL
the fixings..

Fixing The ladder hooks
First we need to attach the four 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 (blue). This is shown as (H) in all
pictures. You will make two top marks . 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 of bunk). 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. Rest 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.
The ladder at the bottom is fixed by screwing
two Black Screws through the back of
Bottom Part 13 into the back of the ladder
(shown as Q) on PIC4)

Now you need to attach the mini rails, top
of the bunk bed.
At the ladder end using the six mini-side rails, You have
already attached the blue full headboard facia (13). You will
have six mini guard rails. Locate as shown
REDx2- Top (E10) (see page 5, FIG 1 for fixings),
Whitex2- Middle (E09). (see page 5, FIG 2 for fixings)
Whitex2- Middle (E09). (see page 5, FIG 2 for fixings)
Attach to each corner post, this will then leave a gap for the
ladder to be inserted.

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

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.
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.

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.
