In addition to protecting your boat's hull from scratches, this high-quality, weather-resistant, 100% polyethylene terephthalate (PET) polyester carpet is breathable so it will dry quickly and your bunk boards won't become saturated with water.


Likewise, people ask, can you use outdoor carpet for trailer bunks?

16oz. (12"in Wide) and 20oz(24"in Wide Marine Trailer Bunk Carpet can be used for just about any indoor/outdoor application. Quality discount carpet that is rubber backed, fade resistant, and ravel resistant. Take the existing bunk carpet off and sand away any glue or debris before applying new carpet.

Similarly, how long should Boat bunks be? The general rule of thumb is that you want your bunks to extend completely to the stern (rear) of the boat, or even and inch or two beyond. That way the transom has plenty of support as you drive down the road.

Similarly, how do you attach carpet to bunk boards?

Hold the carpet to the board and start to roll the new carpet onto the bunk board. Staple down the first side. Then roll the board until it is completely covered. When you get to this point take a staple gun and apply staples every 2 to 3 inches along the bottom of the bunk board.
