Thanks for the replies I hadn't thought of using net curtain wire. Quite simple when you think about it. Just got to find some nice fabric now,
Yes.
Measure what size pannel of fabric you need. Add a bit for seams.

Fold ove the top of the panel and sew to make a channel. Thread curtain wire through the channel and attatch the bed using net curtain fxings as Who moved says.

Repeat for the other sides of the bed
Two eyelet screws - a length of net curtain wire (it's rubber covered with two hooks one each end) and some material. Tis quite easy once you've measured it.

Links and smileys: To insert a smiley face,  , type [smile] or :)

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
