[QUOTE="Macrosill, post: 344428, member: 11079"] You need support under the hatch. Simply bevelling the endges of the plywood will not be enough. That may work for a small 6x6 hole but not for anything workth cutting the deck for. As for the carpeting, roll out the carpet upside down on a large flat surface, like a driveway. Then lay the plywood ontop of the upside down carpet. Mark and cut the carpet a few inches or more larger that the plywood on all sides. This will allow you to wrap the carpet under the plywood. Then spread out the glue on the plywood and lay the plywood back down on the carpet. Flip it over to roll the carpet to the plywood to ensure good adhesion. Now flip it over again and start working the corners. Wrap the carpet around the bottom of the plywood and secure with staples. That is my way, not the only or best way. [/QUOTE]
