Build a Comfy Bed with Kuranda Dog Beds

Kuranda has some pretty cool dog beds that can be fun for the do-it-yourselfer. We received the Standard Dog Bed which is great for providing orthopedic support and comfort while keeping your dog elevated off the ground. We knew this would be a great bed for Oz when he is outdoors as he can relax in a sunny spot without triggering his allergies by lying in the grass.

Kuranda’s Standard Dog cot-style bed is made of a material mat and a high-strength, furniture grade poly-resin frame. It provides a firm, supportive area where your dog can relax and be warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Kuranda also provides a variety of bed covers for the Standard Dog Bed like a microsuede slip cover and fleece pads. We got a Deluxe Fleece Pad which is thick, cushiony and double-sided and easily attaches to the bed with elastic straps.

So you may be wondering why this post is titled “Build a Bed”.  It would be because the Kuranda Standard Dog Bed does not come assembled. DIYers, get ready for some fun! If you are not a DIYer, don’t worry: Kuranda makes it simple to put the Dog Bed together!

Build Your Comfy Kuranda Dog Bed

Now, you will only need three (3) tools to build the Kuranda bed: a Phillips head screwdriver, either a 7/16 wrench or an adjustable wrench and good, old-fashioned know-how! The bed comes with slotted rails to go around the material mat as well as tubes for the legs, top and bottom corner brackets and leg caps (so the legs don’t slip when on tile floor).

TIP: It is easier to work on the bed with the bottom up! From step 1, be sure the material is bottom-side up and you will have a much easier time.

1.  Attach the material mat to the slotted rails by sliding the fabric sleeves into the slots.

2. Position a top-corner bracket in one corner, beneath the bed rails and insert the 2 screws through the holes of each rail. Remember you are working upside down so the top bracket will also be upside down! Repeat on the other three corners.

TIP: We placed the screws into the top-corner bracket in each corner and secured them with the lock nuts so a corner didn’t “fall apart” while we were working on the others.

3. Remove the lock nut from one of the corners and place the bottom fitting on top of the screws of the top-corner bracket. Secure the corner with a lock nut and hand tighten.  Repeat on other three corners.

4. Turn bed right-side up and tighten each screw while holding the lock nut in place with the wrench.

5. Place the rubber caps in the legs and insert legs into the corner fittings.

And that is it! You are now a DIY Kuranda Dog Bed builder. Congratulations!
