I am ready to replace the basement stairs carpeting. The existing
carpeting has worn well for 20 years - but now it is time to go. The
existing carpet is some type of indoor-outdoor, rubber backed variety.
My local carpet dealer says they no longer make that type of carpet
(rubber backed).

To make things more difficult the stairs are 37" wide (sigh).

The stairs themselves are really "rough" and painting just is not an
option.

Any other solutions....Thanks! Kent
