Have you used carpet on sim ceiling?

Have you used carpet on the sim ceiling? Not carpet tiles put full carpet. Trying to figure out the best method to easy install carpet on the ceiling. Thanks.

I used carpet tile and crown stapled it. Crown stapling is the best way to attached carpet or carpet tiles.

I assume with carpet tiles you can see the seams? I was hoping for a no seam look. Thanks

I used really dark grey carpet tiles to frame my screen including the ceiling. I basically went 2 squares or 2 ft out on both side walls and ceiling. I do not believe you can see the seam unless you go and look for it.

You can see the seams if you look but not noticeable. My reason for using tiles was I planned to glue them. I even bought a huge pail of glue. Tiles are expensive. I started on the ceiling. It was a nightmare. Glue in my hair and everywhere. I sopped after 1 tile, pulled it off and threw it out. My room is large so it's a lot of tiles. I talked to my contractor who suggested crown staples. You cannot see the staples at all. It's the way to go. I'd go with tight short pile, not shaggy anything. Test it first. Using crown staples and a few helpers you'd be done in no time with full carpet.

Anyone need a 4 gallon pail of carpet glue? lol

This gave me a chuckle. Dealing with my own nightmare soundproofing my basement ceiling. Over holidays, tried to put up mass loaded vinyl to the ceiling studs. Underestimated how heavy that stuff is. My father in law and i were trying to put up a 12 ft x 4 ft piece; ended up cutting it and still a hassle. and not sure about the seams. I convinced myself weeks ago the vinyl would be easier that sheetrock but thinking i'm just going 2 layers of 5/8 sheetrock with green glue. SMH

Haha. Working on ceiling is tough. What size or brand crown staples did you use? Thanks

I used 5/8 I think. Plenty deep enough. Went through a lot of them. I'm not sure the brand. Whatever they sell at Home Depot. I use an air nail gun.

I used black landscape fabric. Super cheap and easy to install

I'm a contractor and we have been using insulation board and Camry carpet for our customers simulator screen surroundings. We have also been using it for platforms to add putting. Rolls phenomenal and is great with 4" depth cups. Next project we will be incorparting a hole down the sim path and maybe throw down a chalkline. That way when we putt in the sim, we have something to aim too.

Hey No3Putting - I've seen the posts up here and the website for ordering Camry carpet... I'm tempted, but the green color being replaced by grey has me miffed... I don't think I could handle it... sorry... I know it rolls true...
