Would I be able to add railing to the sides of the bed?

I added a toddler safety railing. It took a little bit to get it secure but it has stayed in place with no problems.

Depends on the rail I think. Side rails usually have straps that slide under the mattress. Some wrap around the box spring but others have a 'catch' (on the other side of the bed) at the end of the strap. I would think it could be worked out. In fact, I tend to think even the ones that wrap around the box spring could wrap around the platform portion of the bed in the same way

I think you in theory could turn it sideways (if that's what you're thinking) and install in that way- or at an angle. Just make sure when you install your gate to the installation kit that you measure carefully and install level. As long as you fit it tight to the railing you should be good. Hope that helps!

Yes, there are 3 lateral support wood slats/bars that screw into the side rails; the bed it quite sturdy once all screws are in place and tightened. The frame is awesome.

no you don't need extra rails--My husband put the bed together but I thing the bed had three rails that worked pretty well.--It seems to be enough to hold well

It has been so long since we put these in. I know they sit well on the post. I think we broke of the side tabs and if that is the case then yes you should be able to screw onto flat railings.

I don't think these will help you with the side rails. Basically these adapters just attach to the queen-sized frame and move the hooks for the headboard and footboard inward so the full size headboard and footboard can attach.

no the side rails will not be useable the boxspring sits ontop of the new metal frame

Yes, you would need to invest in some rails if you want to convert it to a toddler bed. The existing sides are too tall.

yes is the right way to install a railing that can be removed for maintance

You can put it together without the side rail but I don't think it would make the bed as sturdy so I wouldn't recommend it.

No, not without drilling some holes into it or modifying it somehow. You could hang it above the railing, it comes w/ a hole on top to loop rope.

I suppose you could use a longer bolt to attach a headboard where the corner brace is attached. We use a freestanding headboard with ours.

Not to my knowledge, i was able to use the whole length of the bed, on the underside. Put short things, cross wise. Use the supports for tubing, with art or posters rolled inside. Again you can use the long length of the bed for longer things like fishing rods. I love mine.

NO, This center support is not designed to work with beds that have wooden sides rails. Wood type side rails usually hook into the matching wood headboard and wood footboard. The wooden side rails often include a wooden lip on the inside of the rails where wooden or steel center support slats can be securely fastened with wood screws. Please feel to contact us for help with this type of center support. (Doug Belleville STL Beds Manager)

Just be aware that the railings aren't extremely high. A thinner, as opposed to pillowtop or the like, might be a better choice. Hope that helps!

It appears to fit only 2x4 or 2x6 railings. It could be modified, but would probably be tippy.

No. This bed only functions as a crib with all four sides. Perhaps you could find a way to alter it on your own.
