Step 6 · Secure Edges (Optional)

If your treads do not have an integrated anti-slip backing or if you desire extra security, consider using weather-resistant staples along the underside edge of the tread where it meets the riser. Alternatively, outdoor-rated adhesive strips can be applied to the edges for additional hold. Ensure any fasteners or adhesives used are suitable for outdoor conditions and will not cause damage to the carpet tread or the step material.
