This is a replica of a civil war cot that I built and then my Granddaughter claimed it. Since she is such a Georgia fan I painted all up for her and even put her name on it. It is held together with the wedges on the end runners. If you pull the wedges out the ends come off and you can roll it up with all the parts wrapped up inside and tie it together with the rope pieces. Once tied up you can store it under the bed or in the closet.
