Club 80-90 Forums

Hi, I have recently brought a 1990 T25 High Top Reimo conversion.
The top bunk does not have the extension required for the kids to sleep in it. I 'think' there may be rails on the ledges which presumably would be used to hold the extension. The ledge on either side has been covered by fabric so I can't say for sure.
I was wondering if the extension can be purchased or what is the best way to have one made up?
Thanks for taking the time to read this.

My hightop is a 1981 but I guess that the bunks would be pretty similar.
The extra board is just a piece of 25mm plyboard with a small strip of wood either end to prevent it slipping off the rails. It has a 2inch thick mattress of foam which is cloth covered. Its about 2ft wide but not exactly sure without going outside & measuring.
Hope this helps

I had to make up an extra bit as my little one was growing to big for the two planks that where already up there, it was very simple I did what Bolukeduke suggests and measured the width needed to be spanned,I used two pieces of wood, some ply and chipboard, The ply for strength and chipboard for rigidity, one 3 inches longer than the other to allow for the lip overhang, and screwed them together, added some foam and covered, I can take some pics tomorrow in the daylight if it would help?

Bolukeduke and Martin.

Thanks for your replies and info. I pretty sure I can knock something up based on your specs.

Thanks again.

Martin, I've got the same. Would you mind taking some pictures? I've got 2 boards but i need to see someone else to know It's how it should be. many thanks Nick
