I got the framing finished up yesterday for my front deck. Today, I would like to build the hatch doors and start cutting the floor panels. My question involves spacing for carpet. How much spacing should I leave around the hatch doors to get a snug fit once carpet is installed? Also, for the flooring, I'm useing sheet aluminum roughly .090 thick. They are actually old road construction signs. Very stout!! I was planning to wrap the carpet around the bottom side of eack panel before installing them but the more I think about it, it may be difficult to fold the carpet aroound something that thin. Has anyone done this? Does it look okay? I dont actually have my carpet on hand to see how it folds. I'll be using a 16oz rubber backed marine carpet from a company called Lancer if that helps. Thanks.
