For Outdoor Rugs, Look to Recycled Plastic
Outdoor rugs can be a great way to pull together an outdoor living area, adding a little homey warmth to the deck or patio. The problem is finding a rug made from materials suitable for the elements. If your deck, patio, porch, etc. isn't covered, you'll need something that can stand up to the rain and won't fade quickly under the sun's rays.
Recycled plastic rugs are durable and can be used indoors or outdoors, so may be a good choice for backyard entertaining.
Since this outdoor rug from VivaTerra is made from recycled plastic, you can also consider it eco-friendly. In addition, it's supposed to be easy to clean and strong enough to hold up under kitchen or garden foot traffic. The cheery design features a pastel palette with a merged stripe pattern that "evokes the first light of dawn."
Depending on size, the rugs run $29 to $49.
