mac456 Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 Hi Guys and Girls, I dont know much about D.I.Y Stuff so after abit of help Today i purchased a new king size bed and put it together. (which is very nice) When it was complete i noticed one of the bolts (side of the bed, which goes into the head board) had the spring washer and the normal washer in the wrong place, basically the spring washer should of went on 1st and then the normal washer but I had done the opposite on the one bolt Would this make much or any difference as i dont really want to take the whole thing apart again but I really dont want to damaged the bed either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

finessescort Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 (edited) Shouldnt make too much difference if you have tightened it up sufficiantly... but would always advise you do things properly...

mac456 Posted September 2, 2010 Author Share Posted September 2, 2010 (edited) isnt it abit different though? so you sugest changing it over? Plus i should be moving house next year so tempted to leave it till then, I just dont want to weaken the joints if it has any effect at all Shouldnt make too much difference if you have tightened it up sufficiantly... but would always advise you do things properly... Thanks for your advice, everything is very tight and sturdy Edited September 2, 2010 by mac456 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig855S Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 Is it not just a case of taking that one bolt out, swapping the washers over and then replacing the bolt.... (every bolt on my bed can be removed and inserted independantly without the bed falling apart) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McRic Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 Surely the flat washer should be first, the purpose of the spring washer's to stop it loosening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danzetec Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 If you really are a king, why didn't you get a servant to do it for you?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McRic Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 Im sure it wont be a problem!, so long as its tight ffs its only a bed! If the washers are the wrong round it'll loosen it time and could cause squeeking or a weakness in the structure. Don't listen to me though what would I know I only have 7 years experience in this industry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
