Important! For safety, the slats at the head and foot must be spaced so the gap to the headboard and to the 

footboard is 3” or less. The remaining slats may be evenly spaced between the two end slats.

12.  Insert Right Hand Assembled Bunk rail (as marked on rail) into upper mortises of headboard and footboard. 

 

(All left and right rails are based upon standing at foot of bed and facing headboard).  You may have to gently

 

tip either the headboard or footboard out slightly to get the rail assembly into the mortises.

 

13.  THIS STEP Applies ONLY to Double/Doubles, Double/Queens, and Queen/Queen bunk beds. 

 

a.  After the right-hand rail assembly has been placed & tapped into mortises, you can place the 5 support 

 

  rails into the mortises of bottom quartered out rail of bunk assembly.

 

b.  The flat surfaces of the rails should be facing up and level. 

 

c.  With another person lift left bunk assembly up into lower mortises of left side of bunk – be sure to have

 

  top rail spun out to the side of upper mortises.  The second person will place tenons of support rails into

 

  matching mortises of left hand bunk rail assembly. 

 

d.  Spin upper rail up and into mortises

14.  Repeat the process with the left hand Assembled Bunk rail.
