To staple down carpet, first ensure the subfloor is clean and dry. Begin at one corner, rolling out the carpet and stretching it snugly across the area. Use a carpet stapler to secure the carpet by placing staples about 6 to 12 inches apart along the edges and seams, ensuring the carpet is taut but not overly stretched. Finally, trim any excess carpet and tuck it into corners for a neat finish.

I wouldn't use nails or brads because my cat goes through her pole carpet in about a month before I have to recover it. They would be to hard to get out.
