    Default Bunk board carpet


    After calling ranger and getting a 400 quote for new boards and hardware I decided I’d do this project myself.

    What kind and where can I buy some good quality carpet to wrap some 2x6’s at.
    All I see at bass pro looks like it’d last about 1 week.

    All info is greatly appreciated.

    Cypress would be the best. Some of the chemicals used to treat lumber are harmful to aluminum.

    Dee, go to a carpet store and see if they have or can get you some 20 oz indoor/ outdoor carpet. Cypress is worth the money if you can find it.

    The cypress sounds like a good idea. Never thought about using that before. If you knew someone who owned a small sawmill, bet they would have some cypress lumber. As for the carpet, Maybe a building supply company would have some heavy outdoor carpet.

    About 10 years ago I swapped my worn ouy carpet for vinyl fence posts that I split on half and used to cover my bunks. Still working great.
