We typically try to use 1/2 inch stainless steel staples when we install the CE Smith Deluxe Marine-Grade Carpeting, # CE11372, but 3/8 inch staples will work too. I would not go much shorter than the 3/8 inch staples because you don't want them to work their way out over time. I strongly recommend using stainless steel staples if possible. They will last much longer because they provide the best rust resistance.

You'll just need to know the wheel diameter, bolt pattern, and pilot hole to ensure a correct fit for your trailer. If you have a 6 bolt pattern it's most likely 6 on 5-1/2 and that would get you three wheel diameters; 15", 16", or…

Answer 10

To make your own bunk boards, pressure treated pine has long proven to be the best kind of treated wood to use because it holds up well and it is strong enough to support a boat. To wrap around the 14 ft long 2 x 4 bunk boards (actually 1.5 x 3.5),…
