Stairs or Ladders

When choosing kids beds bunk you can choose to pick between stairs or ladders. Ladders are less expensive and easy to install, and they provide an easy method of climbing into the bed at the top. They are more secure than stairs, since they provide a greater area for children to walk on and include a handrail that is integrated.

In addition when you're thinking of using your bunk bed as an extra bed for children or adults with mobility issues stairs are the most suitable choice.

A straight staircase on the opposite side of the bed requires 95" of space on each side. If you don't have the space, you could opt for the u-shaped stairs that does not require as much space, but still allows you to reach the top bunk safely and safely. Some beds have the option of detaching the stairs when they're not in use, which further reduces their footprint and makes them more versatile for multipurpose rooms.

Guard Rails

Guard rails give children the confidence and freedom to climb into and out of bed independently. They must be placed correctly to ensure that there are no gaps or loosening in between the guardrails and the bed's frame.

Guardrails should be secured to the bunk bed structure and are not removable without the use of tools. The openings in the guardrails over the mattress foundation should not be more than 3.5 inches to avoid strangulation and entrapment. The wedge block is placed on Figure 1 in each opening of the uppermost guardrail member and over the mattress foundation. Apply 33 lbf (147 N) in a direction that is perpendicular to the plane of the large edge of the block for a minute.

It's a good idea to instruct your children not to hang any objects on the guardrail or ladder, such as clothing, belts, and sporting equipment. Instead, you should use an organized rack to keep these items from becoming a strangulation risk for your child. Be sure that no more than one child is sleeping on the top bunk. This could lead to a dangerous imbalance and falls.
