Well I am finally getting ready to redo two of my bunks. I typically go into salt water and some fresh water. I bought pressure treated wood and the West M carpet. I originally bought galv carriage bolts to connect the wood but I am rethinking that it may be allot easier to just use 3/8" x 1" galvanized lag bolts since I can just lay the wood on the bracket, predrill pilot to match the bracket, and put in the bolt from the bottom side going up.
Q. What glue product can be used on the PT wood to add extra holding power for the carpet? All of the cans I looked at have fine print that says not for use on PT wood. I am planning to use Monel staples on the sides and bottom of the board. Do I just skip using glue/ adhesive?
Q. What do you use to finish the wheel well wood? My original came with carpet on the tandum axle opening but it doesn't seem to make sense for an area that will have dirt and water splashing on it? Use regular wood, spray it black? Carpet again?
