It doesn't say the width. I know Bunnings sells 1m width for $20/m and 2m for $40/m.

I couldn't get any decent carpet wide enough at Bunnings, so bought similar grey marine grade carpet from BCF (2m wide) for $39.95 a lineal metre yesterday.

Cheers Keith  :cheers:

Hi Keith, That's exactly the same carpet that i used for lining my camper trailer and it has worked out perfectly. I just put a little contact bond glue around the edges on the underside to stop it sliding around.

Cheers

Yeh, I had thought of glueing it down, but opted for loose and have run it up the sides of the main tub area to minimise scratching inside.

Also, makes for ease of cleaning. Just pull it out vaccum the carpet and the checkerplate floor of CT and replace.
