[QUOTE="kofkorn, post: 306281, member: 7076"] Only caution on using rivets for attaching the decking with carpet: You'll need to drill holes for the rivets. I'd give you really good odds that the drill bit will pull a strip out of the carpet in the process. Additionally, They may end up being a relatively permanent solution for fastening. If you need to remove the decking for any reason, you'll need to drill out the rivets. Again, the chance of pulling a strip out will be VERY good. Using a screw, you minimize the amount of interaction with the carpet, but you'll still need to pay attention to any pulls that might start. I used rivets with the nautolex vinyl on my deck but no worries if I need to drill it out later. Just something to consider... Good luck! [/QUOTE]
