Question:
What width of carpeting is suggested for 2 x 4 bunk boards? Do you have any installation videos? I have to replace the boards and carpeting, but already have treated 2 x 4 material, Also what material is used for staples and screws to fasten boards to swivel part of brackets? Thanks for your prompt input!

Hey Dave!
The 12" Wide x 144" Fulton Marine Grade Carpeting for Bunk Boards # FCR8012 will be perfect for your 2 x 4 boards. We don't have an installation video of this specific carpet kit, but I'm linking one from a similar item so you can see how it's done.
If you can use hardware that resists corrosion really well (like Stainless Steel) that would be best since you wouldn't have to worry as much about it corroding due to water exposure.

Hey Dave, how did things go with the Fulton marine carpet on your 2 x 4 bunk boards? Did the stainless hardware hold up well during the replacement? Your update could make it easier for the next person tackling the same project.
