  1. 0:46–1:05 Measure and Cut Underlayment From How to Install Carpet Treads on Covered Porch Steps, Step 2: Measure and Mark Carpet Treads

    Measure the width and depth of each stair tread using a tape measure. Use these measurements to cut individual pieces of 'Stainmaster carpet cushion' underlayment to fit each tread. Use a straight edge and a sharp utility knife for precise cuts. The underlayment should cover the flat surface of the tread, extending just to the tack strip at the back and slightly over the stair nose.
