Built wood step, need to keep mat from moving

I need a little help. I built a wooden step to assist with getting in and out of our camper. I want to put a welcome type mat on it. I want to fasten the mat down so it won't slid but I also want to be able to remove mat for storage and cleaning. I have not be able to think of a fastener that I can use short of nut/bolts etc. I would like some type of quick disconnect. I don't want to use any type of anti-slip mat under the door mat. The step is out side. My step is 24'x36'.

I am sure there is something out there but I have not found it.

Thanks for any suggestions.

  • Clips This store also has stainless twist studs and grommets but that's a bit more expensive.
  • If you have extra room on the sides how about bunge cords wrapped around and connected underneath?
  • If you reconsider the anti slip material use some spray adhesive to keep it in place on the mat or the step. Some string may do the trick if the mat is thick and will hide most of it. Just cut it, tie new string to the cut end and pull another length in place when cleaning.
  • Velcro
    Put one part on the step and the matching part on the back of the rug.
    You can get the sticky kind or the regular and then glue it down.

    We have used this set up in lots of applications

    Oops: I just saw the post above after I posted my suggestions

  • Get yourself some tarp grommets.
    Put them on each corner.Small bungees attach them to the side or crisscross under neith
    Or just use carpet tacks on the corners.very easy to remove.
