I over up to 2x6 and will drop 2x6 front and back, building a three sided box around the metal bunk. Two screws will prevent the box from floating away, but the box will not rely on hardware in the metal. I’ll glue and screw the box together with SS screws

Up front of the angle bunk, I routed out 1/8 inch other on my 2x6 and then zip tied them to the steel.

Here are some pix, pretty basic. Each bunk is held in with three #12 1 1/2 inch SS screws, low quality SS

The vertical piece was pilot drilled then secured with 5 3 inch ss lag screws

I covered it with a cheap floor rug found in Lowe’s with a felt cover , referenced below

Make sure you use marine grade SS staples
