F.A.Q.

Can you leave outdoor patio rugs out in the rain?

You can leave outdoor patio rugs out in the rain if they’re made from waterproof materials such as polypropylene. However, in constant rain, even water-resistant rugs are prone to developing mold. 

What size rug is best for a patio?

There isn't a specific best size for a patio rug — it all comes down to the furniture and area you’re working with. A rug bigger than 8 by 10 feet works for large dining areas, while anything between 5 by 7 feet is better for smaller lounging spaces. 

Do outdoor rugs get moldy?

Yes, even water-resistant outdoor rugs can get moldy. To prevent this, make sure they don’t retain moisture for too long by setting up proper drainage. 

What’s the best material for an outdoor rug?

There isn’t a specific material that’s better than others, but polypropylene seems to be the most popular choice. It’s durable, fade-proof, and will tolerate well rain and moisture in general.
