Bunk pole supports at base

[Mike Montville]

I found this while looking around at other boler remods, thought it might be helpful for people looking for them!

It was an exact replacement for what was in my 13' boler.

I have used three in mine. I find a center support adds some strength to the top bunk

for archive purposes- whats the part number on this Master Plumber part. Can't see well enough in the picture to tell.

Thanx in advance

Whats the part number on this Master Plumber part?

I am getting so I use a magnifying glass in a lot of places, even the computer screen!

The best I can make out is [b]508C just above the red toward the right.

That's the same as in our Boler and you can find them in the plumbing section of any hardware store. They are used to mount a shower rod or closet rod. Good luck.

[Kurt in BC]

its a 508C.

Has anyone come up with a way to fasten the poles down at the base and/or at the top? Getting tired of knocking the poles down when reaching for things under the top bunk, and also concerned about the whole thing collapsing while trying to get onto the top bunk, especially with someone sleeping underneath.

I though about buying those small megentic plates and screwing one in the base and one on the pole but never bothered to try it.
