2”x 6”x 10’ – Sixteen pieces
Take four 2 x 6 x 10’ pieces. From each of these four 2 x 6 x 10’ pieces cut a bed rail (M1-03) and ladder rung (M1-01) from each one. You now have four bed rails (M1-03) and four ladder rungs (M1-01). Now take four more 2 x 6 x 10’ pieces. From each of these four 2 x 6 x 10’ pieces cut a corner post (M1-02) and a ladder rung (M1-01) from each one. You now have four corner posts (M1-02) and four more ladder rungs (M1-01). Next take three 2 x6 x 10’ pieces, from each of these three 2 x 6 x10’ pieces cut two Full Ladder Rungs (M1-08) from each one. You now have six Full Ladder Rungs (M1-08). Now take four 2 x 6 x 10’ pieces and from each of these four 2 x 6 x 10’ pieces cut two Full Bed Slats (SLF) from each one. You now have eight Full Bed Slats. With the remaining one 2 x 6 x10’ piece cut one Full Bed Slat (SLF) and two Full Corner Posts (M1-09). You now have one more Full Bed Slat (SLF) and two Full Corner Posts (M1-09).
2”x 4”x 10’ – Seven pieces
Take four of the straightest/absolute best looking 2 x 4 x 10’ pieces. From each of these cut a 76-1/2” safety rail piece (SR) and a bed slat (SLT). You now have four of the 76-1/2” safety rail pieces (SR) and four twin bed slats (SLT). Then take the remaining three 2 x 4 x 10’ pieces and cut three twin bed slats (SLT) from each one. You now have nine more twin bed slats (SLT).
You now have a total of four 76-1/2” safety rail pieces (SR) and thirteen twin bed slats (SLT). Because you only need twelve twin bed slats, you may want to use the remaining twin bed slat to cut the 2 x 4 x 2-1/2” pieces as outlined in the “Safety Rails” section of the manual.
1”x 4”x 8’ – One piece
Take this one 1 x 4 x 8’ piece and cut six 15” safety rail pieces (SR) as outlined in the “Safety Rails” section of the manual. Only four pieces are needed. Keep the extra two, as they can be used for the next safety rail you’ll need.
2”x 2” x 8’ – Five pieces
Take four of the 2 x 2 x 8’ pieces. From each of these 2 x 2 x 8’ pieces cut a bed rail cleat (CL-01) from each one. You now have four bed rail cleats (CL-01). With the remaining 2 x 2 x 8’ piece, cut four “Guides” (two fastened to the bottom rungs between the two corner posts for the twin part of the bed, and also two shorter ones fastened to the same bottom rungs between the twin and full corner posts for the full part of the bed).
