NO TOP TIPS - TOP TIPS Read before you start assembly 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. YES 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. 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. 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 Using the Camera on your phone scan this barcode to take you our after sales.

These posts will have a white chalk marking, these MUST be facing you and at the top when laying on the carpet. You will also see two headboard facias marked Black PART 9 ( 4G), position these as shown in PIC 1. Lay the long inserts (PART 12) in between these ready to join. Place dowel rods in all the headboard inserts as described, DO NOT PUSH ALL THE WAY IN. Now locate the PART 9 facias and push in to create the headboard. The dowels will straighten as they align. NOTE** 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. NO YES Now, remember to ensure the WHITE CHALK markings are facing upwards locate the dowel rods to each corner post. Again, do not push in the dowels all the way. Once in place connect the head board to the corner post, you will again see the dowels align as you tighten. Then fix using the bolts below. Part 9 Blue (see page 5, FIG 3 or 4 for fixings) Now We Build the Footboard BL BR Each corner post will have a white chalk marking, lay the post down and have the markings facing you, at the top. BL goes to the left, BR goes to the right. Part 13 Blue (see page 5, FIG 1 or 2 for fixings) Attach the two side rails Firstly ensure there is no sawdust or debris in the access holes. Using a bolt push through to clear. Now insert the dowel rods at all ends, do not push all the way in. Make sure the WHITE MARKINGS on each headboard are facing inwards. Now start with the headboard and connect each side rail to each corner post Place the barrel bolt within the round access hole on the side rail. Now dip bolt B into the glue and push through to connect to the barrel bolt. This side rail is designed not too move so the fixing is tight. Then locate the footboard, again ensure the WHITE MARKINGS are facing inwards and connect. (See page 5, FIG 5 for fixings Attach the side rail support legs It is important this leg is attached as it supports the side rail. Measure a half way point on the side rail. Place the support leg under the side rail from the outside. Using two black screws attach from the inside of the side rail. Note there is no access hole as the screws are self threading The centre leg will hover slightly off the floor, when the bed is in use it will move down and support the bed. This is to protect the leg if the bed moves. If you have ordered a guest bed simply do not attach the side rail support leg to the front. If you have ordered drawers still attach as instructed. Attach The Centre Rail (Double/Kingsize Beds ONLY) 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 bottom headboard facia. 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) Attach the centre rail support leg The centre leg is located under the centre rail, in the centre. Simply measure to the centre of the bed and locate under the centre rail. Using two black screws attach from the side. It is IMPORTANT that this is positioned correctly and remains in place while the bed is being used, failure to fix will weaken the bed. This part is manufactured using recycled timber as the component is out of sight. The centre leg will hover slightly off the floor, when the bed is in use it will move down and support the bed. This is to protect the leg if the bed moves. 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.
