For 2 x 6 bunks you'll want the 18-inch width carpet # CE11349 in order to have full wrap-around coverage without exposed wood.

As for wood, using treated could extend the life of the your bunk boards, but you will be also looking a higher cost then using untreated wood.

The 18' CE Smith # CE11349 is the longest roll we have available. I really wish we had a single roll that could cover your boards, but the best we can offer is to just obtain two for full coverage - then you'll at least have some extra for a future project/maintenance.

Answer 1

For a 2 by 6 you want to go with at least a 16 inch width carpet so an 18 inch wide carpet like the part #CE11349 would work great and would just have a little more overlap.
