6" Bed Bolts are used to draw wooden bed posts and bed rails tightly together to create a strong rigid joint. Use on antique wood beds and rope beds, where tendon end of bed rail slips into mortise cut into bed post.
Rope beds were used from Colonial times to the mid 1800's. Beds were roped on short wooden pegs which line the head, foot, and side rails. A feather tick, the forerunner of the mattress, was laid on the roping.
Bed Bolts secure bedpost to rails. Insert bed bolts through bed-post into bed-rail and tighten with bed bolt wrench. Use a oval or round bed bed bolt covers to conceal bed bolts. Today these beds are adapted with spring supports to hold modern spring and mattresses.
