Yeah thats pretty much the standard when buying carpet/fabric //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/mad.gif.c18f003ab0ef8a0d9c27ca78d77a6392.gif. How many yards did you buy? This box is gonna take around 3 yards+ of carpet. Cover the top and front with one piece. Run seams on the back and bottom. If you must do it, I can deal with all but the bottom of the box being carpeted. Let me know whats up.so yeah that carpet is only 40 inches wide:crap:
