Step 2 · Measure and Cut Carpet Treads

Measure the width and depth of each concrete step. Transfer these measurements to the outdoor carpet, adding a small amount (e.g., 1/2 inch) for a potential overlap or to ensure full coverage. Use a sharp utility knife to cut the carpet precisely to the marked dimensions for each individual tread. It is advisable to cut one tread at a time to ensure an exact fit.
