Alright guys. I'm starting my decks. When cutting out the hatch lids how much extra material should I trim off the lids to allow for carpet? 16oz marine carpet
 
take two pieces of wood, fold the carpet over each one and butt them
snug to each other - measure the gap between the two - that will be
the distance you need to come up with.
Since carpets are different thicknesses - this is something you need
to figure out with the carpet you have on hand.
also - do the same math for your hinges - depending on the style you choose.
