Once you have fabricated the pieces, the OP Loftbed is ready to
be assembled. It is a good idea to leave all the hardware slightly
loose while assembling. After everything is assembled, you should
go back and make sure that everything is tight.
Click on the pictures below to see larger
versions.
All hardware assembly will have a flat washer
between the bolt head and the first board. The other end will
have a flat washer against the board, a lock washer, and then
the wing nut.
|
 |
| Start assembly with the tall legs, short horizontal braces
and short x-brace pieces. This will be the head of the bed.
|
 |
Lift the assembled pieces and prop them against the wall.
Make sure that it will not fall.
|
 |
Assemble the short legs and steps.
|
 |
| Partially lift the short leg assembly and fasten one long
mattress support. |
 |
| Lift the free end of the long mattress support and fasten
it to the long leg assembly. Fasten the long x-braces and long
horizontal brace before adding the remaining pieces. (Note: For short height loft bed only: refer to step 6 of the short height fabrication instructions for information about attaching the angle braces.) |
 |
| The headboard/shelf can be installed in the lower section
or at the top of the bed. Or you could make two headboard/shelves
and have them at both locations. |
 |
| Finish the assembly with the cross-piece and plywood mattress
support pieces. |
 |
| Congratulations, you have just finished assembling your OP
Loftbed! |
