Hi,
The carpet in my apartment is an indoor/outdoor. It constantly bunches up in places. How do I fix this?

Maybe you could rent a carpet stretcher. It goes up against the wall to pull the carpet towards the walls. Then cut off the excess and nail it down.

Bunchups are sometimes a result of increased humidity which causes the backing to swell. A dehumidifier might "dry out" the carpet. I'm guessing your carpet is in the basement or that you don't have air conditioning. If you try stretching the carpet and it does dry out later, it will probably rip under the extra tension. It might just be really cheaparpet that will not hold its shape.

Unfortunately, sometimes the backing on the carpet separates from the carpet itself and there is nothing besides replacing it that will help.
