Sanjar · Answer

Measure from the back of the landing adjacent to the top step – on the stairs going down – to the bottom of the riser and then the width and multiply together. This will help ensure that the carpet will fit over the landing and top step with one piece of carpet making it harder to spot any joins.

Measure the width and then put the tape on the back of the step and go over the nose to the crutch of the step.
