How to assemble a crib

Every caring parent strives for maximum care for their child. It can manifest itself in different areas. Thus, competent construction of a cozy bed with your own hands is one of the indicators of this manifestation. But in order to achieve truly successful results, you should study all the material that concerns the manufacture of a children's structure. This will be discussed in the article.

Assembling a crib

First you need to arm yourself with tools and materials that you cannot do without in the process:

• Pendulums.
• Legs.
• Frames.
• Longitudinal and transverse bars.
• Tubes
• Hex key.
• Shield base.
• Screwdriver
• Side boards.
• Connecting node.
• Terminating the cord.

Once all the components are available, you can begin to create a preliminary system. You need to set the exact parameters by which you will be guided in the future. For example, the frame of a box can have a chipboard size of 1200*450 millimeters. Upper and lower strips can be purchased with parameters 20*35*1185 mm. Speaking about the overall dimensions, it is advisable to stick to 1740 * 680 * 1075, where the length, width and height are respectively. For compactness, you can use additional elements.After determining the drawing, it is worth preparing the workplace: laying a paper sheet on the surface to provide protection from possible damage.

Step-by-step instruction

By adhering to the algorithm described below, you will definitely provide yourself with a reliable device for a long time.

How to assemble a crib - body

First you need to attach the sides to the back wall. After that, using a hex key, you should tighten the confirmats, which are located on both parts of the unit. They are the ones who pull together all the available products. When the external appearance of the structure is formed, you can proceed to the lower section. To do this, it is worth installing the bottom of the crib.

As for the height, it is a personal size based on your drawing. If you haven’t decided yet, then thanks to specially designed holes you can adjust the height. The base itself is a rack structure. Its fastening occurs due to the side parts of the bed and is inserted through them into the frame. At this stage of the process, it is best to use screws - they will securely hold the elements together. Those confirmations that remain unscrewed should be installed in the back wall. To attach the front edge, slightly unscrew the screws located on the slatted foundation. After which you can insert the product and secure it with the sides. To fix the resulting structure, you need to insert the parts back. The next step is to assemble the lifting bar. The spring must be lowered and clamped with the button, which must first be placed on it. Then insert the strips into the recess.

REFERENCE! DO NOT forget that they are on both sides. Next, you should insert the pins into the front part of the plank.It is important that it passes through the cylinder - this will give additional fixation. At the end, the lifting section should be placed on the top.

Assembling the base

If you have a drawer with a guide mechanism, then they must be attached to the sides from the inside. The longitudinal strips are also attached to them. To complete the assembly of the structure, you should finally equip it with legs.

Installation of the pendulum mechanism

To secure the material, screws must be attached to the bearings. And do it on the side where the depression is large. This is necessary so that the heads are completely immersed in the hole. From the reverse part, you should put the tube on the thread, and the screw, in turn, should be screwed not only onto the base, but also onto the legs of the entire structure. If the result is correct, you will get a smooth movement of the mechanism. To ensure a stationary state, you need to insert a certain screw into the hole of the pendulum.

How to assemble a cradle for a baby

This will not be any more difficult to do than the previous device. You just need the following materials:

1. Boards with parameters of 28 millimeters.
2. One board with a thickness of 18 mm.
3. Rods.
4. Screws.
5. Construction glue.
6. Varnish for the material.
7. Jigsaw.
8. Milling machine.
9. Drill.
10. Paint brush.

After collecting the necessary items, you can proceed to the main part. And as always, it creates a template according to which further actions proceed. Using a machine, cut out all the necessary parts and construct the bottom of the structure. Fasten the longitudinal parts together. Next, tighten all the parts using screws. Their recess should be no less than 1 cm. For strength, you can add glue. To protect yourself and your baby from sharp corners, they should be rounded.The last step will be fixing the structure with varnish.
