Due to the specific construction technique
(mortise & tenon) used in manufacturing the furnishings you have
selected, some on site assembly will be required. Although this
furnishing is not difficult to assemble, Frontier feels you should be
aware of what's involved. It should be noted that all similar
log furniture by any manufacturer is going to be shipped this way and
needs the same type of assembly. There is no way to
economically ship these furnishings fully assembled.
Unpack all furnishing components.
You will find the head and footboards fully assembled but the side
rails and log slats for mattress support must be assembled.
Notice that on one tenon (machined log end) of each separate log there
will be a letter or letters and in at least one mortise of each
headboard or footboard, there is a matching letter(s) or mate to this
part.
In the location where the furnishing is
to be used, lay the parts out according to general configuration of
piece using the above matching letters to guide you. Eventually,
each joint will be secured with one lag bolt. We
suggest that you lay the lags out with furniture parts as well.
Washers provided must be used with each lag to assure proper
tightening of joint.
Loose fit and assemble all parts without
securing with bolts to start with. It works best with a helper.
When all log parts are loose fitted, push each joint together as far
as possible. Use of a soft block of wood and hammer to
manually tighten the joint. With a washer on the lag, start lag
into predrilled hole with socket wrench of the proper size.
Tighten lag using socket wrench until the joint pulls together and the
bevel or taper on the log tenon just barely touches the log with the
mortise, or comes within about 1/8th inch of this taper. Do not
over tighten the lag or it can break or strip the hole out.
Repeat this on all joints and install wooden plug over countersunk lag
holes, tapping lightly with a hammer.
Log Bed Assembly Instructions
|
Tools |
Parts |
| 9/16"
socket and driver |
Headboard / Footboard |
| Hammer |
2 Log Side Rails
/ 3 Cross Slats |
| |
Bolt Package |
|
These
instructions are good for all sizes of the Frontier, Mountain,
Lodge, and Mission Mountain beds. |
- STEP ONE - Insure you have all parts to your new log bed. Move all parts of your log bed to desired location.
- STEP TWO - Assemble Side Rails with Cross Rails (Slats), matching the corresponding numbers and letters.
- STEP THREE - Once rails are assembled together, insert rail assembly into the Headboard and then into the Footboard. This is a two person operation, it will take one person to hold and stabilize the Headboard while inserting rails, as well as the Footboard.
- STEP FOUR - Insert Lag Bolts from bolt package into the holes in the Headboard/Footboard and tighten bolts. Do not over tighten, this could cause stripping and weaken the structure.
- STEP FIVE - Finish with Wood Plugs from bolt package. You are now ready for your mattresses, congratulations!
Log Bunk Bed Assembly Instructions
|
Tools |
Parts |
| 9/16"
socket and driver |
Headboard / Footboard |
| Rubber Hammer |
Log Side Rails
/ 6 Cross Slats |
| 2-3 People |
Bolt Package, Ladder (if app.) |
|
These
instructions are good for all sizes of the Bunk Beds. |
- STEP ONE - Insure that you have all parts to your new Log Bunk Bed. Move all parts of Log Bunk Bed to the desired location.
- STEP TWO - Place both the Headboard and Footboard in location where the Bunk Bed will rest. Big holes facing up.
- STEP THREE - Put the rail assemblies together (each letter on the bunk will have a corresponding letter to match). Start with the lower rail assemblies (bottom bunk). Have one person hold the Headboard and the other place the assembly into bottom holes on bunk. Next move to the top bunk and insert the top rail assembly. Move to the top guardrail (single rail with no holes) and insert the top guardrail.
- STEP FOUR - Once all assemblies are inserted into the Headboard, move to the Footboard. Remember to move the Footboard to the bed, not the bed to the Footboard. Insert the bottom rail assembly into Footboard. Once that is in, move the bed up. Don’t worry if the joints don’t go all the way in, you will tighten them with bolts later.
- STEP FIVE - Insert all bolts in the Headboard. Start with the bottom, working your way up. Once all bolts are in, move to the Footboard. Insert all bolts from the bottom up. Do not over tighten. Once you hear the wood crackling, then you can stop turning the bolt. All that is left is the wooden plugs. Tap the 1” wooden plugs in with a hammer (not all the way in) and you are done.
*For the Mountain Twin Bunk that separates, assemble in two beds loosely and then with 4 people, lift top bunk onto bottom bunk (lift with your legs, not your back). Make sure you place the wooden dowels into the holes so that the top bunk doesn't move.
**For Wrangler Bunk, your two top guardrails are the ones without the holes.
***For Mountain Twin/Full Bunk, the top log of the guardrail goes on the outside of the bed frame and secures with a lag bolt.
