DIY REPAIR: LOOSE CARPET

﻿
GETTING STARTED

Although many of us wish we lived by the ocean, ripples in the carpet aren’t exactly the type of waves we’re looking for. Here’s a quick DIY repair using the Arrow T50 heavy-duty staple gun that makes fixing a loose carpet as easy as 1, 2, 3.

YOU WILL NEED

START REPAIRING

STEP 1

Using a mini pry bar, remove the transition strip to expose the loose carpet.
﻿

STEP 2

If possible, use the pry bar to separate the carpet fibers, exposing the carpet backing.
﻿
Then pull the carpet taut and, using your T50 heavy-duty staple gun, begin to staple along the edge where the transition strip will cover.

STEP 3

Now it’s time to reattach the transition strip – the PT18G pneumatic brad nailer (or a similar tool) should do the trick!

﻿
STEP 9
Once the framed pegboard is securely in place, it’s time to decorate! Additional pegboard hooks can be purchased from home improvement stores or online. This is the perfect time to put your own special touch on the project.

﻿FINISHED PRODUCT﻿

Grab your vacuum and see just how smooth that carpet is now!
