Another crucial area of safety concerns guard rails. The ideal is to have them at least 5 inches higher than the bunk bed's lower level. This will keep a child's face from becoming trapped between the mattress's bottom and the guard rail. The guard rails must be equal in height on all sides and not less than 3.5 inches apart.

It should be able to fit comfortably and be inspected to ensure there are no neck entrapment risks. To ensure this, you'll be required to test the openings on both sides of the lower bunk using a wedge block. The block should be able to move through the opening without any obstruction.
