Bed Carpet DIY

[Livinthedream]

I added a bed rug on a budget. So I hit the carpet isle at Home Depot and they have rolls of 6' x 8' outdoor carpet for about $23. I also pick up double back tape and a roll of magnet tape. I also picked up a 7gal tote for my road essentials. Tools you'll need are scissors or box knife, measuring tape, staple gun and a saw. I adhered to the tape/magnet in 3in strips on all corners and in the middle sections to hold to the bed. If you add the cross boards you have plenty of carpet left over to carpet them too ( it just gives it finished look). I made the front box bigger but still used the bed cutouts to secure the cross board.

I was expecting something that just looks like a padded mat, but this is on another level. Please change thread title. It does not do justice to your work.

Very inventive and a great job too. Thanks for posting it.

Very Cool! I did not know there was a Safeway in Hawaii.

There was another member that did something similar that I copied. I will def do those dividers next.

I really like this. Great job! You have given me something to think about.

I wonder how well that magnet tape would hold the mat down with a SIBL installed.

Hi Gary,

Did you install the carpet on the tailgate too?

Nice job, thanks for the info, hope I can use some of these ideas if I ever get my Mav.
