How to assemble an attic bed from pipes yourself (short instruction)

To assemble the bed frame, first assemble each bed. In total there are 5 vertical racks 212 cm high. On the diagram (Fig. 1) shows how all racks should be connected and which fittings are used. For two racks to the left, use flange fitting then a tee with one outlet and a lateral tee 90 degrees, and on top of the knee.
The vertical position in the far right corner is assembled using a flange fitting for the base, then a tee with a lateral exit of 90 degrees and is blocked by a knee of the lateral exit. And finally two racks in the center, which are used to form the bed frame ladder, are assembled using a flange fitting for the base, then 5 fittings with one outlet, and are closed with a 90-degree elbow. notethat 4 fittings with one tee outlet will face each other and the other will point in the other direction to accept the upper two-tier supports.
Collecting all vertical supports, you can install the sides of the frame. On the diagram (Figure 2) shows the sides converging together, and the following diagrams (Figures 3 and 4) show each of the individual sides and how the horizontal supports are attached to the uprights. Here we need a pipe 96 cm long to connect the racks for assembling the sides.
With assembled side supports you can complete frame assemblyby joining the sides together and assembling the stairs. (figure 5)
To attach the sides of the frame, first fill the stair section. The diagram shows (Figure 6) how to assemble a ladder. Having assembled the ladder section, you can complete the frame by attaching the four pipe sections that are used for railing around the top shelf. Before attaching the pipes, be sure to put 2 fittings on the railing. They can be used to platform mounts for mattress. For the railings to the rear of the frame, 190 cm pipes are needed, and the railings in front - 125 cm pipes.
