    Ideal weather for carpet install? Forced to do this in my driveway

    It looks like we're going to have some nice weather this weekend, and into early next week, which is what I'm going to need. But, what's the ideal weather for installing new carpet? Long story, but the boat is coming home to my house on Sunday afternoon, and it will be sitting in the driveway under a carport just in case it rains. But does it need to be a minimum temperature outside for the glue to work well?

    I'm looking at lows of upper 60's to high's of mid 70's, with lows of mid 40's at night for the next week. Humidity will be low.

    I think the glue will say it needs to be warmer then that for a 24 hour period.

    Just did the back deck in the driveway today - air temp 56F [13C] - so did it full sun with brush on contact. Cut / trimmed pieces to size, set up eas 8-10 mins in sun, laid it on, rolled it from center out....all done 2-3 hrs. Did the lids in garage with added heat. If you're gonna use outdoor glue, you'll need 18 - 24 hrs with temp above 50-55F + <70 humidity. Pouring with rain today [Sat]....here's a pic:
