How to attach the canopy to the crib

Children's room in the house occupies a very special place in its significance. After all, in fact, it becomes a refuge, a kind of shelter for the baby. The center and the citadel, the nursery, during the first few years of the child’s life, of course, is a cot. This is not just one of the elements of the furniture or the interior of the children's room. It is designed to protect the innocent baby sleep. It is known that scientists physiologists have fixed the dependence of the calmness of a child’s sleep on the external environment in which he is located. From that at all times, the parents tried as best as possible to equip the place in which the baby sleeps.

A crib for a newborn should protect him from drafts, dust, flying insects.

Beautiful protection

The technique of arranging a bed with a light cape attached to the ceiling came to Europe from ancient Persia. At some point, a person realized that on a hot summer night it was not at all convenient and pleasant to protect oneself from insects by covering the body directly with a cloth. So the first canopy was invented.

For this, it is necessary to hang a canopy of beautiful jolly fabric on it.

The canopy fixed according to the instructions will reliably protect the baby, will give him and his parents peace, comfort and tranquility.

For centuries, this practical tool was used by both ordinary people and representatives of the nobility. At the same time, of course, the items placed in the royal bedchamber were distinguished by beauty and luxury.

You can sew it yourself, but for those who are not sure of their tailoring skills, special shops offer inexpensive kits, which include the interior of the crib and canopy.

To decorate the cornice with velcro attached to it pelmet.

A canopy is one of those things that, in addition to the aesthetic component, also carries a purely functional component. Such things never go out of fashion furniture, they can be transformed, the demand for them may increase or decrease, but they were and will be. Today this element of the interior returns to wide use. However, it is intended primarily for cots.

But it is not enough to get a beautiful canopy, it is important to correctly assemble the canopy on the crib, what the instruction will help with, and also to hang it up correctly.

This is the most secure mount, as the screws do not become loose due to the inevitable contact with them during manipulations inside the crib.

Cover over the child

The canopy in the nursery gives the room a unique flavor of a fairy tale, a small kingdom in which the child will feel like a little prince or princess. The practical component of the product is that with it you can forget about the use of mosquito aerosols, creams and fumigators. Under light canopy fabric, less dust and drafts. “Softened” daylight and artificial light.

If the canopy represents a whole with the bed, the canopy is fixed on the mounted tripod.

If you do not intend to rearrange the baby’s crib in the next six months, then the canopy can be fixed on the ceiling above the crib.

Intending to equip a children's bedroom with a small canopy, in order to make the right choice, you need to know what they are. They differ in location and method of attachment.

Among the large variety of models you need to choose a beautiful, comfortable canopy for a crib.

The design is fixed with screws to the back of the cradle and the joints are closed with plugs for greater strength.

Location options

The choice of the future location of the canopy above the cot depends purely on your aesthetic tastes and ideas about beauty. When choosing an arrangement, you choose exactly how the fabric will fall down from the holder, and how folds will form on it.

1. In the middle of the crib.

In this case, the falling waves resemble a sharp roof over a small house. Traditionally, this is the "boy" option.

2. Location at the head.

The fabric slopes down to the “bylets” at the feet. This option is suitable for girls and older children.

3. Along the entire perimeter.

A special frame is mounted, which can be either a standalone structure or it can be a continuation of the bed, fixed on it. The canopy forms a separate room, four flat woven walls and a ceiling. This arrangement is universal, it is suitable for both boys and girls. The color decision becomes decisive. By the way, it is this arrangement of the canopy that is most popular today for adult large beds.

The child will often have to be taken out of the cradle and put back; if the fabric constantly interferes, you will soon get tired of this device, you will remove it and take it away.

The principle of hanging the canopy depends on the type of ring.

Mounting methods

When deciding on how to attach the canopy to the crib, be sure to take into account the location of the crib in the space of the room in relation to the walls, doors, and other furniture. That is what should determine the method of attachment. And here we will use the new term - the holder.

For reference. The holder is the supporting part of the overall design.

So, lightweight material is mounted on the holder, which in turn can be fixed as follows:

• on the side wall;
• on byltse;
• at the head of the bed;
• to the wall of the room itself;
• on the floor;
• on the ceiling.

The canopy consists of a cloth canopy and the structure holding it.

The holder of a canopy is a soldered or disconnected metal ring, a tripod and fastenings to it.

Pluses canopy

1. Often all the necessary parts are bought complete with the cradle itself. Bed patterns can have a variety of shapes, from simple rectangular to complex with a twisted wood pattern.
2. By itself, the design team, easy to install due to the small number of parts.
3. The wide base of the holder allows the canopy to have good stability and at the same time it does not need to be screwed to the floor with its screws.
4. Along with the wall, a purely stationary version is assumed, i.e. fastening with screws to the surface.

Consider how the installation is performed on the example of mounting on a wall, bylets or head of the bed.

The assembly usually includes:

• tripod (straight long tube, the length of which determines the final height of the canopy);
• holder (rod of rectangular or rounded shape);
• rings that will hold the fabric, help her slide, moving along the holder;
• fastening screws.

The canopy on the crib is a cape of lightweight fabric that is attached above the crib, using a special mount.

It is important, at what height will be the canopy.

Algorithm assembly:

1. taking into account the location of the crib in the room and which of its sides it is located closer to the wall, we choose the place for mounting the tripod;
2. firmly fasten the tripod to the surface of the wall or bed of the bed;
3. install the holder bar on the top of the tripod;
4. we put the hanging rings in the loop on the curtain;
5. suspend matter with rings threaded into the holder;
6. hand, pressing on the structure, check the reliability of attachment.

Many years ago, in the eastern sultanates, the canopies served as capes-awnings over the throne or government bed.

Mount the canopy on the rack at the same time in two halves of the ring, starting from the center.

Modern designs of canopies suggest the possibility of an easy change of the curtain material itself. This is very convenient if you consider a wide range of its functions. From dense fabric that prevents light, to the lightest tulle, saving from annoying midges.

Of course, many fathers and mothers consider why cluttering the space with “dust collectors”.

Before embarking on the canopy, assemble the holder to its full length, this will give you the opportunity to pre-adjust the height at which you want to place it.

It is also possible to remove and re-put the curtain material on the holder, the process resembles the care of curtains and curtains. The product in this case does not become a “dust collector” in the house.

So to maintain the hygiene of the child's room will not be very difficult.

In this case, the canopy covers the bed less, but does not restrict access to the outside world.

Probably, we will not be mistaken if we say that the generation of young people who today become parents, hardly in their infancy, slept under canopies. But it’s so natural to try to give your children what we didn’t have as children.

If the bed is located along the wall length, the mount is placed in the middle of one of the long sides of the bed.

If the location of the bed is wide along the room wall, the holder is fixed at the headboard.
