Visualize Tread Size with Tape

What happens here

To ensure you are happy with the chosen carpet tread size, use painter's tape to outline the calculated width and depth on your actual stair treads. This allows you to visually account for elements like corner posts, spindles, and walls. If you find you want to see more carpet, you can adjust the tape outward and add a couple of inches to your order. Conversely, if you prefer to expose more wood, you can move the tape inward and make your tread smaller. This visual step is a reliable way to finalize your desired carpet stair tread dimensions.

Goal: Use painter's tape to mark out the proposed carpet tread dimensions on your stairs, allowing you to visually confirm the fit and make any necessary adjustments before placing an order.
