Trailer bunk carpet
 
Like the title says, I need to replace the bunk carpet on the ol' PD trailer. Never done it before. So I went out and bought some carpet, and I've got my trusty staple gun. Anything I need to know, words from the wise, before I begin?

it hurts when you staple your hand.

Sometimes hard to find,,,,stainless staples.
I will use short roofing nails in a pinch.

I did mine and got the stainless staples at Home Depot Goo Luck!

I redid mine too. I got ss staples at Lowes. Worked great!

go to west marine, or look online for the plastic bunk slides. I've got them on my trailer and the boat jumps off the trailer when I un-hook it. You gotta be ready when you unhook the boat b/c it literally jumps off the trailer. Only cost about 20-30 dollars.

Thread resurrection!

It's bunk carpet replacement time, but I was wondering if anyone has tried replacing with plastic bunk slides that bcmarinamanager mentioned, and if so how did that work out?
