Replacement Bunk Board Carpeting For a 16 Foot Long Bunk Boards

Question:

I need to replace the outer boards on my trailer, they have 2 eight foot boards on it, so I was wondering if can replace it with one 16 footer instead of two 8 footers?

Yes, you can use a 16' long bunk board to replace your two 8' boards. It is important to find the straightest board you can as the longer boards will tend to have more bows and crowns in them.

I recommend using a solid piece of CE Smith Deluxe Marine-Grade Carpeting # CE11349 to cover the full length of the replacement board. This 18' long by 18" wide carpeting will cover your bunk boards without seams that can be easily damaged.
