    Default Trailer bunks.


    Want to recarpet the bunks but unable to find stainless steel staples ( 18ga, 1", 1/4 Crown) locally. Before I order some on the web would there be another type that would last as long.

    Monel available at Home Depot or Lowes. They cost a little more than stainless but well worth it.
