[QUOTE="Scott Mac, post: 311048, member: 10360"] Hi th30dd7, There are visible screws that hold down the carpeted panels and some are hard to see because the carpet (20 oz.) is quite thick and the screws get buried in it. I did use those stainless finish washers to avoid the screws from getting buried too deep but the carpet hid it well. I also planed it so they were at a minimum like screwing down the floor on the sides then covering that area with the side storage panels. I also designed it so the horizontal panels overhung the vertical ones. I then framed the horzontal panels with 2 x 2 (prior to applying the carpet) to fit into the opening the vertical panles made. I then screwed thru the vertical panel into the 2 x 2 frame up under the horizontal overhang. The challange came when dealing with the thick carpet but it worked out and I am happy with the results. I hope that helped. Fish On! [/QUOTE]
