ABSTRACT:
A carpet tack strip includes a strip member having a notch throughout its length. A series of tacks are mounted to the strip member, with the points of the tacks extending above the upper surface of the strip member. Horizontal passages extend between the sides of the strip member. The tack strip is advantageously used when laying carpet on a concrete floor. The strip is placed such that the notch faces the lower end of a wall against which the carpet is to be placed. Nails are placed through the passages and driven into the wall, to securely mount the tack strip to the wall. The carpet pad abuts the outer edge of the tack strip, and the carpet is placed over the tack strip and tucked into the notch. The tack points retain the carpet in place, and the nails prevent the tack strip from being pulled away from the wall.
