I need new carpet for my bridge.
Looking at the infinity woven vinyl.
What's everyone's experience here? I made a template and was going to mail it to them. Better off doing that way or using a local guy?

Also any product anyone recommends? I prefer a vinyl product and not a actual fabric.
 
I sent a template out and was very happy with the results.
 
Who you use? I made a template but folded it. They said it should be rolled. How do you ship something so large rolled?
What it cost to ship?
 
Just buy a new vhf antenna and use the tube that it comes in! In all seriousness, that is the kind of thing that came to mind. Maybe a radio store might have something to give to you.

If they want it rolled.......have them send u a tube to put it in ...... :)
 
I looked at Corinthian.
They also want template rolled in a tube.
I am just curious what others have done and cost to ship template.
Thinking I may be better off dealing with a local guy.
 
I used John ( and his father ) a few times ....and they did a great job. He went on his own the last time I used him on my last Sea Ray....and he was just as good . He does quality work.

I used Corinthian they send a kit to use then you send it back they did a great job. I used my old mats to create the templates.
 
If you can't find a tube , look at building supply stores and lumberyards for a Sonotube form . Their plain Round tubes are probably the cheapest and come in 6" diameter and wider.

If smaller diameter would do, check tackle shops for tubes the fishing rods with guides are shipped in.

Or perhaps look at PVC pipe or gray electrical conduit . ...Or get a collapsed refrigerator box from the local cardboard recycle center and roll into tube shape, adding tape.
 
Oh, sorry, you were just sending the template so any of the smaller tubes should suffice .
 
I don't recall this being an issue, they sent me a kit I mark it up and cut it and returned it in whatever they sent it to me in. I took a few hours to complete.
 
What size is the shortest length? I own a printing business and get 54" rolls of vinyl all the time. It comes in a square box that we throw out most of the time. If you don't want to buy a tube you could check with a local printer/sign company to see if they would give you a box they don't need. It will be wider than you need but will still work. UPS charges more to ship tubes since they can roll.
 
Maybe I will order the kit.
Didn't realize they gave you all the supplies to ship back.
 
Give them a call and ask. Again I don't remember this being an issue in fact it was an easy thing to do just take your time and make sure you get it right because what you send them is what you are going to get back.
