Assembly Instructions

- Identify the four corner straps. Each has a plastic hook.
- Locate the four upper corners of the KURA bed frame.
- Proceed to the attachment steps in the next section.
Tip: Two people make assembly easier.
Attaching to KURA Bed
Follow these steps to securely attach the canopy to the bed frame.
- Position the canopy over the bed so the door aligns with your desired opening side.
- Take one hook strap and attach the plastic hook to the metal bed frame at one of the four top corners. Ensure it clicks securely onto the frame.
- Repeat step 2 for the remaining three corners.
- Once all hooks are attached, gently pull down on each strap to tension the canopy evenly. The fabric should be taut but not stretched excessively.
- Adjust strap lengths if necessary for a snug, wrinkle-free fit.
WARNING! Ensure hooks are fully engaged on the frame to prevent detachment.
Setup & Adjustment
- Door Operation: Roll up the door fabric and secure it with the provided fabric ties.
- Ventilation: Ensure mesh panels are not blocked by bedding.
- Fit Adjustment: Loosen or tighten straps to remove fabric sag or wrinkles.
- Bed Position: The tent is designed for the KURA bed in the low position. For the high loft position, ensure the tent is clear of the ceiling.
Using the Bed Tent
Create a fun and private space for play, reading, or sleeping.
- Access: Enter and exit through the roll-up door.
- Ventilation: Keep the door rolled up or use mesh panels for air flow during extended use.
- Play: Suitable for light play. Do not attach heavy items to the fabric.
- Sleeping: Use with standard KURA bed mattress and bedding. Ensure the tent does not restrict breathing.
- Lighting: Use battery-operated lights only. Do not use mains-powered lights or candles inside the tent.
WARNING! Never use heating devices, candles, or open flames inside or near the tent.
Care & Cleaning
Remove the tent from the bed before cleaning.
- Surface cleaning: Use a soft brush or vacuum cleaner with a soft brush attachment to remove dust.

CAUTION! Fabric must be completely dry before reattaching to the bed to prevent mold.
