Carpet

Try local stores as I think it is better to check the material before buying. You can also save on delivery charges. Many places have remnants, which are left overs which are often cheaper.

Hi Dave. I used contact adhesive. Once you've coated both the walls and the carpet, and waited a few minutes the carpet will immediately stick to whatever you press it against. So you need to get it right first time, but it will never fall off.
I used Evostick at first, but then tried the other much cheaper brands which were just as good.

A friend used spray adhesive which he said was fine, but I don't think it is as strong as the pourable contact adhesive.

Cheers
