Costco Indoor/Outdoor Carpet

[rideandfly]

We purchased a lightweight 6X9 indoor/outdoor carpet to use at home for $19.99 at Costco, it's been on sale for as low as $16. Debbie wanted to try it in Ollie. We purchased another roll for Ollie and cut out three pieces for use over Ollie's Vinyl floor.  Had use anti skid rug material under the carpet to keep from slipping. Will see how it works out!

We really like having carpeting in Ollie, but the anti skid material did not keep the carpet in place very well. Decided to install carpet tape between the original floor and carpet. The tape works great securing the carpet and did not take long to install. We have an extra roll of carpet, for when we need to replace it, too.

The new carpet looks fantastic.  How does it feel underfoot?  Just curious...

Thanks!

We used to keep small rugs where you step off of the beds before installing carpet. We like how it feels to walk on carpet barefooted and stepping out of bed onto carpet, especially on cold mornings. 🙂

We still keep a rubber backed carpet mat at the door entrance over this carpet, for water and debris.

Here's another idea how to keep carpet clean from another Ollie Couple that's not active on this forum:

They said it's OK to post photos of their step modification using expanded metal where they place their shoes under the door before entering Ollie. If I did this mod,  would install a horizontal piece of expanded metal without the piece bent vertically attached to the frame.
