Default Carpet over the tower support

The description in the arena manual section 2.2.5 says:
Quote:
The BASE rests on a 48-inch by 76-inch floor protector made of 3/16-inch HDPE. The floor protector is velcroed to the FIELD surface, and covered with a piece of similar carpet. The edges of the floor protector cover are taped to the FIELD carpet (Pro Gaff Tape, “black”, 2-inch). This taped seam forms a slight (approximately 1/4-inch) ridge in the FIELD around the TOWER.
The wording on sheet one of FE-00034 says
Quote:
Cover Floor Protectors with extra carpet, tape edges with 2" black gaffers tape.
The tape outline on the picture looks to be alot larger than the 48" wide floor protector, and I would guess that if the seam was right at the end of the floor protector the ridge would be alot higher than 1/4-inch when you add the HDPE thickness to the carpet thickness.

Can you provide the dimensions of the carpet covering over the floor protector (and the associated tape seam)?
