<p>A carpet construction comprises a plurality of square sheet materials butt-joined together to jointly provide a continuous planar upper surface. The sheet materials in each two adjacent rows are disposed in such a manner that the abutting lines of one of the two adjacent rows of sheet materials are disposed out of registration with those of the other. A plurality of stringer tapes are fixedly secured respectively to the lower marginal portions of the rows of sheet materials adjacent to their abutting ends and edges. Each opposed stringer tapes are coupled together to retain the sheet materials in butt-jointed condition. A plurality of connective members are secured respectively to rows of interengaged fastener elements of each mating stringer tapes immediately adjacent to the opposite ends thereof to retain the same in coupled condition.</p>
