First, measure the overall width of the top landing. Extend the tape measure from one wall to the furthest point on the opposite side, including any baseboards or door frames. In this case, the width is 6 feet 6 inches. Next, measure the length of the top landing. From the edge of the first step, extend the tape measure to the furthest point, which may be a doorway or wall. In this video, the length is 6 feet. Record these measurements as 'Top Landing' (TL) along with the pile direction (e.g., 6'6" x 6' ↓). Always add extra material (e.g., 6 inches) to your exact measurements for cutting and tucking purposes.
