Chapter 3:
Attaching the Bed
Cabinet to the wall.
REQUIRED TOOLS
REQUIRED HARDWARE
• Hardware Package #10
(white box)
• Cordless Drill and/or Impact Driver
• #2 & #3 Phillips Bit
• 3/16” Drill Bit
• Countersink (or 3/8” Drill Bit)
• Stud Finder
• Level
Begin by leveling the Bed Cabinet. Place a level on the top of
the Bed Cabinet in the center. If the horizontal bubble on the
level is touching the left mark, place a shim under the right
side of the Bed Cabinet. If the bubble is touching the right
mark, place a shim under the left side of the Bed Cabinet. The
shim is tapered, so the further in you slide the shim, the more
it will raise that side of the bed. It may be necessary to stack
the shims for more height if the fl oor varies greatly. Once the bubble is exactly
centered between the marks, the bed is level.
Now you will want to “plumb” the bed. Place the level against one side of the bed. If
the vertical bubble on the level is touching the left mark, the top of the Bed Cabinet
needs to move to the left. If the bubble is touching the right mark, the top of the
Bed Cabinet needs to move to the right. Once the bubble is exactly centered, place
a mark on the wall at the top edge of the side panels so you can return the bed to
this mark in case it moves before the Bed Cabinet is fully attached.
STEP 1
OVERVIEW:
Now that the Bed Cabinet is assembled, we’ll be attaching it to the wall. This is
a crucial chapter that must be followed carefully. If the Bed Cabinet is improperly attached
to the wall, the bed could collapse at a later time and could result in serious injury.
IMPORTANT: If your bed is sitting on carpet, insert shims under each side panel to
raise the whole bed above the padding. Later during adjustment, the bottom of the
bed may need to be shifted which won’t be possible unless the whole unit is raised up
at this point. We recommend inserting the shims about half way, although thick carpet
should be shimmed a bit higher and thin carpet should be shimmed a bit lower.
