Strictly Beds & Bunks Oscar Assembly Instructions Manual page 12

Attaching The Centre Rails
SINGLE BUNK BEDS - One 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 BEDS - Two Centre Rails
Same as above except with 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.
Section : Added safety
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.
