Recommended Method of Attaching Marine Grade Carpet # FCR8008 To Trailer Bunks
Question:
How attach to bunks?
asked by: Robert S
Expert Reply:
From my research, it seems that a combination stapling the carpet to the bunks using stainless or Monel (primarily an alloy of copper and nickel) staples and outdoor carpet adhesive is the preferred method of attaching carpet.
I replaced the bunks on my PWC trailer with new pressure-treated 2x4s and the Fulton marine grade carpeting you mentioned. I used stainless staples on the underside of the bunks along with a thin bead of Liquid nails on the top and sides of the boards. I replaced the boards and carpet about 2 years ago, and everything is still holding up very well.
When placing the adhesive on the bunks, keep in mind that some day you might need to replace the carpet, so do not go too heavy on it.
