Dismantling and Reassembling the Bed

1. Remove the top guard rails using a cordless drill.

2. Remove the ladder and fireman's pole.

3. Remove the safety guardrails from the bottom.

4. Ease the platform to the ground on its side, and then remove the carriage bolts from the 4 x 4 posts.

5. Flip the 4 x 4 posts upside down and re-insert them through the corner slots in the platform so that the holes (made at approximately 50 inches high) now align with the holes in the platform.

6. Re-attach the carriage bolts, and then tighten. The bed platform will now stand 18 inches off the ground and have the appearance of a 4-post bed.

7. Add the safety support rails to the posts with screws and an electric drill.
