Placement & Usage Tips
Size the rug so that all furniture legs sit on it, or at minimum the front legs of each seating piece. On wood decks, ensure the rug allows air circulation underneath to prevent moisture trapping, and use a rug pad designed for outdoor use to prevent slipping.
💡 Pro Tip
Rotate your outdoor rug 180 degrees every few months to ensure even wear and fading, especially in areas with strong directional sunlight. This simple habit can double the visual life of the rug by preventing one side from becoming noticeably more faded than the other.
