No, I did not make a pattern, but it would not be a
big deal to take the carpeting out & make one. It'll
come right up once the table base is out.I'd be glad
to make a pattern if it will help others.

My carpeting was icky brown...& rough on tender
toes...

Would anyone like some pictures?? The weather is to be
nice tomorrow so I'll be down on the dock for a while.
