Fitting the bed base to iron beds On most antique iron beds the bases sit on top of the iron side rails as shown in the photo below. There are 4 pre-drilled holes, 2 in each side of the frame, top and bottom. You can drill into the sides of an iron bed frame and then bolt the two together. Or, you can use cable ties which we can supply for free. They work well and are quick and easy to use. Fitting the bed base to wooden beds Normally the base sits within the wooden frame on cross bars similar to those in the photo below. The wooden framed bed below shows a single bed base sat within the frame. The 4 pre-drilled holes can be used to secure it to your bed if necessary. If your bed needs a structure for the base then review our blogs here and here which have some useful advice. Or contact us, we are always happy to help.
