I've watched 3 or 4 videos of how to do this and they all made it seem so unbelievably difficult. I have spent 3 days scratching my head trying to figure this out then I found your video. You made it look so simple and I actually finished my stair runner today using your video as a guide and Im so chuffed...thank you!
Cool
Awesome rugs!!
So impressive.. nice to watch a fellow craftsman in his field of expertise
Thanks
Lovely job as usual keith.
Nice job, very useful video, thanks
Nice work man! Thank you for sharing! Im sorry about the cut on you finger.
Thanks😀😀😀😀
Great job.
Thanks Norma😀
Excellent
mat lane thanks mat
Great job
thanks
This was a massive help thank you so much my stairs are exactly like this 👏🏾🙏🏾
Perfect
Just watching this, gives me visual proof that I need a pro 😂
Those 3 stairs can be tricky
You make it look effortless, but there’s no way I could do it. My stairs are double winders, so it’s 5 steps.
Wish you explained how you cut the pieces to fit
They were templated
More questions than answers watching this video I'm afraid.
Thanks for this. Would like to see how you can get the stripped pattern to follow around the bend though. I can see you lose the pattern on those steps.
With a patterned carpet we are unable to match as we turn on those types of stairs 😀
That's what I dont understand. Stapling the carpet seems easy enough.... but how the heck do you achieve that 90° custom corner. It has to be custom sewed etc, right? My stairs are shaped just like this, but I'm trying to figure out how to handle the one corner.... I might just send it on an angle (no 90° corner).
@@nickolaseagle3520 Yes, I don't understand either how the sewed edges are factored in on the turns
Would you mind letting me know what you used to get the blood out of the carpet after you removed the end of your finger with the box-cutter?
I don’t remember cutting myself on that job! But it’s possible! We use a knife nicknamed Bloody Mary! But if we do get blood on the carpet we just dilute it with water then use a generic cleaner on it! Most of the carpets these days are very easy to clean!!! Thanks for the question.
Great job . Is that nails gun?
Electric staple gun
Never heard of pattern matching this whopper
:)
Hi do you have a video on how to bind the raw edge once its down
All these carpets are bound before they go on the stairs. This is a misconception that this carpet does not have any Binding.
@KeithShannonDirectCarpet it's just on the video only one side has edging so I was curious
Good Morning Keith Shannon... Fantastic video!! Rongly installed pattern... Who cares.. I guess Rikardou that has 180 yrs exp does... Anyhow.. i purchased item # 847647 from Lowes plus Harbor Freights best 1/4" narrow crown stapler (air) w/ 1/2" long staples... stair tool, double sticky back tape and off to the races... That is until i watched you... and i guess its a good thing cuz im at an impass as to what to do on the landings which are very much like what you are doing...I read all the comments and see that you have "Patterns" for the pie shapes... "Ya it’s a little tricky!" is an understatement.. I won't have a problem with the strait parts but Not sure what to do with the corner landing?? Keith I am Open for Ideas... Thanks again for the Awesome content!!
hey Dan. Ok if your doing a runner and have to turn the stairs..it is tricky math... best thing to do is make a template out of paper cover the pie stairs draw on it and make it blend ... i will try to get a video out to you in the next few days just to showcase... sorry i couldnt give you a better answer... i custom make those angle stairs to fit on each staircase.. Good Luck
@@KeithShannonDirectCarpet So if we do it that way, it appears that we have to forgo the stitched hem on the outboard edge of the runner? At least that is what it looks like to me. Are carpet suppliers able to supply custom pieces as shown if I provide a paper template? Great videos, by the way! If you've released the aforementioned video, I'm not yet finding it on TH-cam.
@@careykalupson2571 the outside edge has been bound. or as you call it a stitched hem... each stair out of those top 2 are individually cut there is a video on my page you can watch.. its a tutorial of how to make the paper template and cut the carpet.. unfortunately getting the carpet at a store already cut probably wont happen .. we do them here and ship them out,,, im sure if you made a template you could cut them yourself ... heres the link to that video tutorial Link: th-cam.com/video/cO_ZnMP1kIM/w-d-xo.html
Nice planning on that binding👍tricky
kcm731k thanks! Ya it’s a little tricky! I have a few templates that I made for different sized runners, so I don’t have to always go to the house and template on site😄
How did you make a wider runner on the pie shaped stair?
Looks fantastic. Thinking about trying it at home. As I’ve never worked with Sisal, can I ask what kind of knife you’re using? Thank you!
It’s a double sided utility knife often referred to as a Bloody Mary 😀😀😀 available on Amazon under Robert’s utility knife
@@KeithShannonDirectCarpet Thanks Keith! Just ordered one.
Hi master
May i know what kind of nails I should use for the nail gun?
I use 9/16 duofast
what type of nails are you using?
Are you meaning staples?
Great wee video. Can I check. You’ve got a finished edge on the right hand side but not one on the left on the angles stair. Did you get the left hand finished off or left as cut? Thanks
Finished on both sides
Hi mate.
Could you possibly send me a link to your template video?
I can't seem to find it.
Thank you.
Paul

Here’s the tutorial th-cam.com/video/cO_ZnMP1kIM/w-d-xo.html
U didnt show how u did that inside corner
U dint ever check to see if your straight on the wall?
He did on the first step
Are you close to New Jersey?
Sorry no
Hey do you have any videos on how to template pie stairs?? I'm going to template a set tomorrow in mississauga and it's been so long I can't remember, I need a refresher lol
There are a few template videos in my video collection you’ll have to search for them🤙🤙🤙
Hello. Can you let us know what kind of carpet stapler you're using, and what size of staples, please?
Its A duo-Fast
@@KeithShannonDirectCarpet What kind of staple and guage??
We have these type pie stairs and I would like to DIY. In your video it looks like the left hand side of pie shapes are not bound. Will these fray with time?
All sides are bound!
Can I ask why you don’t use carpet gripper? and did you shape out those pie steps?
Great question! With certain carpets I find it just works better! Simple answer really!
Curious what is underneath the runner? Is that more carpet? Is it stuck down to the tread?
Under Pad
Why have I just had a carpet fitter tell me this is incredibly complex and would require the carpet (no pattern) to be sent away for 'bonding' before installation?
Some stairs are harder than others!!! Other factors can be the carpet used and how handy a person is ! If your talking about turning stairs, you should make a template! Straight stairs are simple but both need the sides to be bound! Or binded, what does your staircase look like????
Because the cut needs to get binded... as you can see the corner is actually not straight that “peak” you see on the left is what makes this complicated
Nice Job! Where are you located. I need that done on my stairs.
Chris Homan Hey Chris we’re located in the greater Toronto area are you close?
@@KeithShannonDirectCarpet I'm in New Hampshire, USA, would love to visit your city.
I was hoping they were near me too but I'm in New York. This looks so nice and precisely installed
You coming to UK anytime soon 😅😅
I noticed that the second from top stair (where you cut your finger) runner border was to the left...when all the others were to the right side. Also I wish you had spoken about 'How' to measure and hints on the two stairs at the bottom where you first started. This is the tricky part for me. I think Im going to get large sturdy cardboard and make a template of the Turn Stair area, then cut the runner. Interesting that the runner on had a Grey Border on the one side only. Would have been helpful to tell us exactly how many runners you used etc etc... I had the turn the music off it was so annoying!
Thanks for the question
@@KeithShannonDirectCarpet Do I get a reply?
Apparently noty😢
Where did you purchase the runner?
We Own a Carpet Store, We Purchase Carpet from a Manufacturer and I Make the Runners In House!
I would love that runner.💗 How much would that one cost?
@@mimib2887 that is a Carpet by a company named Tuftex The Cost starts at $100 per step. Depending on What Type Of Steps.... This Stuff Is Amazing but Pricey......There are Others that look Great and much cheaper
Jason We can Ship That Carpet to You As a DIY Product with Pad for $549.00 as long as its a Straight Runner, approx 12.5 Steps. let me know what you need. price is reflective of amount needed. @J Bacon
Do use the same method going over carpeted stairs? What size fasteners?
9/16 crown gun staples
The first curve stairs are wrong installed
They have to follow the pattern of the carpet
I have 18years on carpet installation that kind of carpet on star has to be follow de pattern from the first step to de last top stair
Yes Ricardo, you are correct, the pattern of the carpet was wrongly installed.
Without cutting it in strips and bending and gluing to the underlay then you can’t keep the patter lined up.
you can't match the pattern on the pie or twist steps, its impossible , if the stripe is two inches wide when its cut on an angle it becomes wider so will not match, try it on a piece of paper.
Thanks
Did you use the same size runner throughout or a different size for the corners?
Lola Kola the straight stair are 28 inch and the pie stairs are all different custom sizes
Omg you could have easily had it matching 3/10
Thanks
i guess you just love tufex carpet sofebac nothing easy.
not an easy carpet to work with thats for sure
I gonna listen to my daddy.
Just dont understand why not use gripper tooks in alot better
nb flooring flooring to each his own, for myself depends on the carpet! With the tack strips of late, they are sharp and people complain about feeling them with their feet, so we hang them down and their is still complaints about the wood 👍
Keith Shannon u can use low pin gripper for them types of carpet , keep up the good work mate , love the videos
