Stretching big room

Just wondering if someone could explain how you split a big room into 2 for stretching, think the term is 'stay tacking'??? might be wrong there mind cheers

 

How big is big?

I've had rooms say 9meter in length and I get it tight as possible with the kicker half way then 2nd half tucked in then just belt the hell out of it until it's sitting happy.

Not interested in power stretchers as it's rare I get long ass rooms

 

Where does it say I don't fit rooms 5m or longer?

Course I do but I'm on about longer than the average which brought me to the longer rooms.

Average size rooms I do mostly I'd say is up to around 5.50 - 6m in length but tbh I'm more Lvt the older I get ... Stairs/landings/bedrooms mostly in carpet then test lvt/engineered

 

We used to do this years ago, when we were fitting pubs out.
Turned an offcut of axi over, stretched out, then stop tacked through the offcut. Then stretch full length, and once its pinned on the gripper, remove the stop tacks.
Wow, its been a while since then

 

So no one fits this way anymore then???, when you say stop tacks do you mean like awls

 

No, nails. When I started it was tacks, but then we used inch wire nails

 

I never used to fit this way, in anything but pubs/clubs.
Domestic always just used to use knee kicker.
Don`t fit carpet anymore really

 

Awls surely do the same thing? Do you not use this method anymore

 

You could use anything to hold it in place, so long as it doesn`t damage the carpet

 

two of you working in tandem across the room .I have used this system on 50 mtre drops of wilton body,you can always stretch so far and pin through a wide piece of timber then stretch the rest of the way ,we used to do this to anchor a powerstrecher on long drops..
