Log bunk beds are a perfect place for children to build their play “fort” or “castle” within your cabin, especially on cold rainy days. They are the perfect place to make a “tent” out of bedding or other items.
At the same time, the height involved can also lead to bruises or band-aids. Following are some tipes to consider for your log bunk bed, to help keep everyone happy and safe. Even if the log bunk bed you purchased is not for children, the tips shared here are an important for anyone owning or using a bunk bed. General Safety Tips Some of these rules may seem like no-brainers, but it doesn’t hurt to be clear—and careful—about bunk bed use. Here are some bunk bed rules to consider: 1. No children under age 6 allowed on the top bunk 2. No water or sleep flotation devices used on a bunk bed 3. No jumping or horseplay on, around or under the log bunk bed 4. Only hardware sent with your log bunk bed should be used in putting it together, and the bed should be periodically be checked to ensure it is sturdy and free from damage 5. Use only standard-size mattresses on the upper bunk. The top bunk mattress should not be higher than 8 inches, and there should be at least 5 inches of space between the mattress and the top of the guard rails. 6. Guard rails for the top bunk are included in all our log bunk beds, for everyone’s safety. Using the guard rails is extremely important, regardless of whether a child or adult is sleeping on the top bunk. A guard rail should be on both sides of the top bunk, even if the bunk is up against the wall. And once again, do not make any substitutions for the parts provided by the manufacturer. 7. Always use the ladder for climbing in and out of the top bunk on your log bunk bed. 8. Do not allow more than one person on the top bunk at one time (our log bunk beds meet federal safety guidelines, and hold 250 pounds on the top bunk, but one person on top is enough under any circumstances). Do not exceed the weight capacity for the log bunk bed you buy (this weight capacity will be specified by the manufacturer). 9. Have a night light nearby for those sleeping on the bunk who might want to get up in the night. 10. To prevent strangulation, never attach or hang anything to the bunk bed that is not designed for use with the bed. Examples would be jump ropes, belts, or any type of hooks. While these bunk bed rules may seem stringent to some, accidents do happen, and, in the words of the old adage, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. by: Log Cabin Rustics
