[QUOTE="Florida_Native, post: 418234, member: 21426"] I would stain or get some primer and paint the deck you intend to carpet over. When that carpet gets wet it holds moisture until it fully dries out which will in turn rot that deck rather quickly. If you aren't trying to spend a lot of money on paint/stain stop by a real paint store (Sherwin-Williams, PPG, or a Benjamin-Moore) they often sell the colors they mess up on for $1 just to get rid of them. Most of the time the colors they have aren't desirable but if it's going to be covered up by carpet the color won't matter. And make sure you use an exterior grade.
