Bed rail installation on bunks (290bh)

[Gotime4]

I just purchased a 290bh and would like to put some bed rails on the bunks because the bunks are fairly narrow. Does anyone have any suggestions on a good secure way to do it and what material to use.

I have the same trailer.
They have bed rails and bumpers on amazon. Not too fond of either.
Thought about putting up some big L brackets since the pads are so thin.
Not sure what I want to do.
Can you do me a favor and check if you’re getting food air flow from your heat duct in the bunk room. My trailer has the table/bench/bed area

saw this on FB and copied it. just in case some of you are not of Face Book,
standard 1x3 and 1x4. Had to cut the vertical post down to be 3 1/8" compared to 3.5"
used dark walnut stain.

Thanks for the photos! We were just talking about this for our 290BH. How sturdy does it feel? I have a 12 year old mammoth and he likes to roll around a little.

This is what I did to both of our bunks. Used a 1x12, cut out an access, middle of the board for this bunk and the end for the flip up bunk opposite. Used the cut out piece for a gate on this one. So far they have held up.

Nice work, Lizardqing
