How Does UV-Stabilized Polyester Hold Up to Sun and Rain?
UV-stabilized polyester resists color fade during prolonged sun exposure, whether you place the rug on a covered deck or near large south-facing windows. The synthetic fiber sheds water quickly, so the flat weave dries without trapping moisture that leads to mildew. Machine wash cold with mild detergent for deep cleaning, or hose off outdoors between washes to remove pollen and dirt tracked in from the yard.Can You Leave This Outside All Year?
The rug handles rain and humidity without warping, but you'll extend its life by rolling it and storing it indoors during snow or extended freezing. If you keep it outside year-round in a mild climate, hose it down monthly to prevent grime buildup in the weave. The non-skid backing performs best when the surface stays dry, so covered porches work better than open patios in wet climates.Which Size Works for a Patio or Dining Room?
The 8 ft. x 8 ft. size centers under a bistro table or anchors seating on a covered porch, while the 9 ft. x 12 ft. works for open-plan living rooms where front furniture legs sit on the rug. Choose 10 ft. x 14 ft. for dining areas seating eight or more, allowing 24 inches of clearance beyond chair backs when pulled out. The soft lilac wave pattern layers well with pieces from our outdoor accent chairs collection and coastal or modern farmhouse schemes without competing for visual focus. Pair it with natural teak or powder-coated metal furniture from our outdoor rugs section for a cohesive patio look, and add finishing touches from outdoor accessories to complete the space.Frequently Asked Questions
