[QUOTE="bassboy1, post: 148939, member: 55"] I glanced at your project page, and saw you are using wood decking. Thus, use 3/4" ply for the deck, and 5/8 for the hatches. Or, use a router (or table saw with dado blade) to cut a 1/8" rabbit in around the edge of the ply, with a, say, 1.5 inch width. Wrap your carpet into the rabbit, cutting the edge right at the edge of the rabbit. Not only do the lids sit flush, but the edge of the carpet on the bottom of the hatch is flush, and less likely to peel away. [/QUOTE]
