Drywall – What’s the best fastener for a carpet that won’t cause unraveling

carpetdrywall-anchorfastener

Last time I tried this, the drywall screws I was using snagged and started unraveling the carpet.

Is there a particular kind of screw that won't snag carpets? It's a loop/pile carpet so snagging is pretty likely.

Nails unfortunately aren't going to suffice unless they are maybe resistant to being pulled out like a screw would be.

And yeah… I'm putting it into drywall.

You want to use carpet staples, and if your carpet is heavy you want to use a lot of them. If it is heavy and permanent then use glue also.
