Location: Alexandria, IN | I have come into a large amunt of FREE burlap and upholstry webbing . My trailer has a DIY LQ the previous owner did. I hate the wallpaper and was thinking I could do burlap on the walls. i saw it on trading spaces and figured if they could do it on a house I could do it in my trailer. Here's the thing...I don't remember how they put it up. Would contact cement or spray glue hold it well enough with a few staples at the top? Thanks |

Location: Coconut Creek, FL | But think about getting it off later on if you don't like it.. I don't think I would put burlap up in a trailer... you might really regret it later. |

Location: Indianapolis, IN | I would not glue it, I would do like they do the leather walls. Don't glue, use trim to hold it down. You can glue it if you want, just at the bottom and top to hold it into place. Start at the top and work your way down if you do that, so you can pull and allow it to lay naturally for a while before you "tack" down the bottom half with glue or trim! Might be cool. Why not paint the wallpaper if it bugs you that bad? |

| In a house I hung it as regular wall paper.
I don't see any reason why you would need to use anything different in a trailer.
Yes, it is a huge vertical dust trap in a house. I suppose in a trailer the dust might shake free during travel.
I wouldn't do it again, that was SO long ago, though everything that goes around... |
