Bed extension

[Arnac]

We have just had our standard 4' narrowboat bed adapted to give a new extended width of 1.60m as per the attached photos. Really happy with the result. The mattress will be  'hinged' for stowage during the day.

The guy that did this for us has reasonable rates and is  based in Retford. I'm happy to supply his e-mail to any interested parties.  

If you're a keen DIYer it will give you an idea too.

That is a very neat job

It certainly is.

Just to add, the extending section is on heavy duty nylon casters at the two ends and in the middle.

The slats on the LHS lift out in two sections to access the storage.

The two original drawers were left Insitu and he adapted the extension around them. Access to the drawers is therefore unchanged.

There are two heavy locking pins which lock the extension in the closed and open position.

You had the worst attack of woodworm I have ever seen. Geometric worms are the pits.  🐛

Excellent job. 👍

That’s a smart idea and better then on hire boats we have used where a lift up flap is fitted to extend the bed
