Fig: 1 Fig: 2 Standard Bed Fig: 3 Open-Ends Bed with L-Shaped Legs
We will provide you with a 1/8” drill bit for drilling the pilot holes as needed. Ladders are 18” wide. The ladder may be
placed at either end. The Rounded Bottom end of the Angled Ladder goes on the floor.
If you ordered the Angled Ladder Hooks you will not attach the Ladder to the bed. It will hang on the rail, header or rung.
You will just need to install the Safety Rail Brace if provided.
If you are installing the Angled Font (long side) Ladder (Fig: 1), you will also install a 2x6 Safety Rail Brace as shown in
Fig: 1. The ladder goes tight against the Bed Leg Post and the 2x6 Safety Rail Brace goes tight against the ladder.
If you are installing the Angled End Ladder for the standard bed (Fig: 2 with Rungs at each end), you will place it 1-1/2”
from the end of the rung. The outside edge of the Angled Ladder will line up with the inside edge of the Bed Leg Post.
After ladder installation, if you ordered Safety Rails for the end of the bed, you will install the P-Shaped Safety Rail Brace
following the standard Safety Rails Assembly Instructions.
If you are installing the Angled End Ladder for the Open-Ends Bed with L-Shaped Legs (Fig: 3) and if you ordered Safety
Rails for the end of the bed, you will have a 2x6 Safety Rail Brace as shown in the diagram. The ladder goes tight against
the Bed Leg Post and the 2x6 Safety Rail Brace goes tight against the ladder.
Installation Instructions:
Position the Angled Ladder in place following the above diagrams and instructions. Drill (4) pilot holes from behind the
Front Rail, Header or Top Rung spacing them 3” – 4” apart to line up to the top of the Angled Ladder. Attach the Ladder
from behind with 2-1/2” screws.
Line up the 2x6 Safety Rail Brace (if provided) tight to the ladder as shown in the above diagrams. Drill (6) pilot holes
from behind the Front Rail or Header to go into the 2x6 Safety Rail Brace. Attach with 2-1/2” screws.
Optional 18” Angled Ladder Safety Rail
(as shown in the Angled Front Ladder picture):
Under certain conditions (based on
ceiling height, mattress thickness and space underneath), you may need to install the 18” Safety Rail half-way between
the top gap using 1-5/8” screws into the back of the ladder. If you did not receive this then it is not required for your bed.
This follows the Consumer Products Safety Commission Guidelines.
