Westy Pop Top Bed Guard?

Post by **jwlanky** » 14 Jul 2008, 15:57

Does anyone know if there is such a thing as a guard that goes across the end of pop top bed to stop the kids falling out in their sleep?

Ive Google'd all kinda combination's and have only found one reference made to a homemade for solution on Westy for sale on Gumtree. Any help most appreciated.

Thanks for your reply.

So, i take it that there isnt an official guard from Westfalia?

no... because children don't officially fall out of the pop top bed

Mine haven't yet - but i do have visions of them doing so!

I just assumed that Westfalia did make a guard as there is a couple of metal stumps for fixing something on.

Carter did, but luckily the dog broke his fall (not so lucky for the dog) He now sleeps in a cab bunk and only the bigger kids go up top

cab bunks are great...

as for the guard well you could make you own... cargo net or something that clamps to the bed maybe

Ive got a luggage net kick kicking around somewhere, so ill have a go at rustling something up.

Ill post a photo of the results (probably for you all to laugh at!)

We use an old stretchy cargo net out of a pug 206
It clips in to the suround of the pop top hole and up to the roof supports then just use the poppers that fix matress to fix the middle at the bottom.
Wasn't sure if it would be strong enough at first then one morning woke to find the young fella asleep in it like a hammock.

i am trying to figure out how to keep my kids up there
we have some recessed holes that look like a pole would fit and maybe support a net. i cannot find any westy items
let us know how you get on
