Dog stairs for bed (take 1)

Step 5 Carpeting

I laid the carpet across the steps, evened it up, and started stapling it on from the bottom to the top.  I wrapped it around the bottom to provide a little padding for my bedroom carpet.

First I attached it across the front face.

Then I went back, folded it over on the side, and stapled it down.

I had to cut it to allow it to fold in some places.

A note as I get started on Take 2: Boy, I put a LOT of staples in this thing.  I would have been better off putting in just enough to secure it, then making sure that the dog could use it.  I did not want to have her try it without the carpeting, as she's old and her hind end coordination is iffy; I definitely wanted the security/traction of the carpet.  But I would still have been better off not using QUITE so many staples.
