How do assemble a bunk bed?

Answer 1

Most futons are very similar. So you should be able find a seat, a back section, two rails and two arms, as well as rollers, washers, cotter clips, metal inps, nuts and bolts, etc.

So what you need to do, first, is locate the holes drilled into the back rack. Take the nylon rollers and push a metal pin through the smaller end then insert the assembly into the holes on the back rack. Place one of the washers over each pin and secure with a cotter clip.

Now, connect the back rack to the seat. Line up the holes on the seat section with those on the back rack and push a metal pin through each role from the outside. Fix a washer with the cotter clip two pins. The seat and back rack assembly can now be moved between the arms and lined up with the routed out grooves in the arms. The back stretcher now connects to the alms with two bolts on each side and the barrel nuts are inserted into the holes in the stretcher rail. Tighten all the bolts as much as possible.

Your futon should now be assembled and ready to use

Step 1

Take two futon sets, preferably two that are exactly the same. Measure length, width and thickness of each wooden piece that makes up the headboard and footboard, especially the width and thickness of the posts.

Step 2

Construct your own bunk bed headboards and footboards using your own lumber. The posts shouldn't be more than seven feet high but should probably be wider and thicker than the originals--possibly up to twice as thick.

Step 3

Drill holes in the headboards and footboards large enough for the bolts that came with the futon frames.

Step 4

Attach the frames to the headboards and footboards using nuts and bolts. If the posts you used are thicker than the original futon posts, you may need bolts longer than the original ones--but they should be the same width.

Step 5

Make sure the futon frames are securely attached to the headboards and footboards. See that the bolts are tightly fastened and the frame won't jiggle at all. This is especially true of the top bunk.

Step 6

Build a ladder for access to the top bunk. It may be best to affix this ladder to the headboard or footboard to keep it in place. (Since the frame is likely metal, attaching it there isn't likely.)

Assembling a bunk bed is easy. It just requires a socket wrench, an allen wrench, and a hammer. The nails and bolts are usually included in the kit. It’s better to have two people working on this project than just one. The first thing you need to do is lay the parts out on the floor in an orderly manner, making sure to warn those around you that you are working, lest they trip on something. Find the instructions and go to the first page. Find the nuts, bolts, and nails, and keep them in separate piles. It even helps to separate them into plastic containers, such as salad bowls, until you’ve used them all. If you wish, you can separate all of the pieces according to their pairings in the instructions. This will save you time. The first section of the bed to be assembled will be the lower bunk. Attach the side rails to the footboard and headboard. Tighten all the hardware, but don’t over-tighten.

The next step is to put the lower bunk slats into the side rails. After this, you will begin construction on the top bunk. This needs to be assembled on the floor before you attach it to the lower bunk. You repeat the process that you used for the lower bunk according to the instruction manual, then you attach the guard rails, using whatever hardware is called for by the manual, usually large, sturdy bolts. After you have done this, have someone help you attach this assembly to the lower bunk, using the pre-drilled holes included in the pieces of wood, and the included hardware. Make sure to tighten all the bolts before giving your kids a trial run. Gently pull and push the side of the wooden supports to make sure all is firmly in place. Double-check your directions to ensure that it looks the way it should, and that all the pieces are assembled correctly. There should be no parts left over, however, there may be some extra hardware. Many companies are in the habit of including a few extra in case you lose some. After all is secured, your bed is ready to use.
