Default Re: Help! Carpet Suppliers?

You can pick it up at almost any Auto Upolstery supply. What you want is black "trunk liner". It comes in rolls at 6' and 8' widths. I can't remember the exact length on a roll but I thinks it's 60yds.

Quick tip for putting it down. Do Not Stretch it! Lay a strip of double stick tape around the perimeter of your platform, and a 48 " centers. Leave the paper on it. Roll out the carpet and get it straight. Lightly pull from one end to remove wrinkles, Then, working from one end remove the paper from the double stick and immediately adhere the carpet to the tape. When butting two peices of carpet together, be sure to gaff the seams, or you'll wind up with corporate types tripping.

Hope that helps.
