Correctional furniture must remove opportunities for self-harm and weaponization while staying strong enough for continuous institutional use. This guide lists the design rules buyers should put in the specification.
Anti-ligature surfaces
No protruding knobs, hooks or open coils. Zehao anti-ligature bunk beds use smooth welded tube ends and recessed fixings to eliminate anchor points.
Welded, not bolted
Fully welded frames remove bolts that could be removed and reused as tools. Our detention-grade welded bunk is a delivered example of this construction.
Concealed and tamper-resistant fixings
Where fixings are needed (e.g. to floor/wall), they sit behind secure covers only removable with special tools.
Delivered references
See UAE, Malawi and Guinea for documented correctional deliveries with quantities and specs.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does 'anti-ligature' actually mean?
It means the product is designed with no points, edges or openings that could be used to attach a cord or ligature — critical in detention settings.
Are anti-ligature beds comfortable?
Yes; the safety design is in the fittings and surfaces, not the mattress support, which remains a normal sleeping surface.
Can these be used in military barracks?
The same rugged, tamper-resistant construction suits barracks and other secure institutional housing.
