I've looked on the web at a good amount of brands and styles.

Does anyone have recommendations on a quality brand and one that will last? I don't want a very cheap plastic type rug, more of an indoor/outdoor covering.

Thanks

I have a piece of paper machine screen that we use. It is like tightly woven fishing line. It works awesome and you can find it for free if you know someone in a mill.

Wal-Mart sells one that is about $8-$10. Its indoor-outdoor carpet w/metal eyelets and spring hooks to adjust for different size steps. I had one on my previous hybrid and it was the first thing I got for my new to me TT.

Camping World has them that wrap around the step and are held in place with springs on the underside of the steps. We're on our fourth season with ours.

i have the indoor out door carpet type i also found if left on for long periods of time like for years it will cause your steps to rust out and fail.take them off and check and prime and paint the medal when you get rust.

Sounds like we bought them at the same time. Ours gets lots of use, especially when the grandkids are along.
