Assembly Instructions
Bed Safety Bar for Board Deck
Frames
Note:
Bed safety bars must be
installed prior to placing the deck
boards into the bed deck frame, or
disassembly of decking is required.
Important:
When a bed safety bar
(specifically designed for board
deck beds) is properly installed, the
safety bar will be held securely in
place between the inside of the side
rail and the edges of the bed deck
boards.
1. Position the bed safety bar as
illustrated, so the top lip of the
channel goes over the top edge of the
side rail (Figure 6 & Detail A).
2. Next, rotate the safety bar so that its
bottom lip is positioned below the
bed side rail, on the inside of the bed
frame (Figure 6 & Detail A).
3. Install the bed deck boards into
position. Bed decking consists of
three boards that are set in place
between side rails and are supported
by middle and end stringers. Set
the outside boards into place first,
followed by center bed deck board
The deck board will trap the safety
rail and keep it from rotating out of
position (Figure 6, Detail A).
Ladder for Board Deck Bunk Beds
1. Place the ladder for bed deck
vertically against the upper bed
rail, engaging the ladder hook over
the top of the upper bed rail at the
location it will secure to (Figure 7).
2. Position ladder to be vertical, not
angled to the bed. Press down on
ladder hook and tighten thumb
screw (Figure 7).
3. Using two #10-16 x
5
/
8
” screws,
secure the back tab of the ladder
hook to the interior of the side rail
through the pre-drilled mounting
holes in the back tab (Figure 7).
Note:
The ladder is designed to be
vertical, not angled to the bed. Do
not angle the bottom of the ladder
away from the bed as this will create
stress on the ladder hook bracket and
make ladder less safe.
Ladder for Board Deck Loft Beds
1. Begin installation by leaning the
ladder against the upper bunk of loft
side rail at the location where it is to
be installed. Position the ladder hook
over the ladder as illustrated. Hook
the back tab of the ladder hook onto
the side rail. Do not secure ladder
hook to ladder or side rail at this time
(Figure 7).
Caution:
For loft beds, a bottom
bracket must be securely installed as
instructed below. A bracket style is
supplied for both right- and
left-hand ladder installations.
2. Position a bottom bracket as shown,
to capture the lower end of the ladder
leg with the bracket and hook the
teeth of the bracket into the slot in
the end frame close to the floor.
Press down to secure bracket to end
frame, then attach the

the top and tighten thumb screw

4. Locate the two mounting holes in the
back side of the ladder hook. Using
a #21 (.159” dia) drill bit, and the
ladder hook mounting holes as a
template, drill two holes through the
metal at the inside of the side rail.
Bore holes to not more than

hook to the interior of the side rail
through the pre-drilled mounting
holes in the back tab and into the
wood of the side rail (Figure 7).
