Wearever Polypropylene Oval Indoor-Outdoor Rugs

Details at a Glance

Sun, rain and pool splashes destroy most rugs in a season, but polypropylene handles them without fading or growing mildew. The Rhody Rug Wearever Polypropylene Oval Indoor-Outdoor Rug in seven sizes and six solid colors is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. UV-stabilized fibers resist color fade through years of direct sunlight, and the reversible design lets you flip it to extend its life.

How Does Polypropylene Stand Up to Rain and Sun?

Polypropylene is UV-stabilized, so it holds its color through seasons of direct sun without bleaching or cracking the way untreated synthetics do. The fiber is non-absorbent -- it sheds rain instead of soaking it in -- so the rug dries quickly and won't grow mildew or mold in humid climates. The backing is a synthetic fill that allows air circulation underneath, which speeds drying after a storm and prevents moisture from being trapped against your deck boards.

What's the Easiest Way to Clean It?

Hose it off. Polypropylene doesn't absorb water, so dirt and spills sit on the surface and rinse away without scrubbing or chemicals. After you hose it down, just let it air-dry in the sun -- the non-absorbent fill drains fast. You can flip the rug over to clean both sides, and the reversible construction means you're distributing wear at the same time.

Can This Stay Outside All Year?

Yes, if you want it to. The polypropylene resists UV damage and moisture year-round, but reversible rugs last longer if you rotate or store them during the off-season. If you leave it out through winter, shake off snow and let it dry when the weather breaks. Storing it rolled -- not folded -- in a dry spot protects the braid from compression and keeps rodents out of the fill.

Where Does This Fit Best on a Deck or Patio?

The 5 ft. x 8 ft. and 7 ft. x 9 ft. sizes work under most patio dining tables, with 18--24 inches of rug extending past the chair edges so the legs don't catch when you pull out a seat. Smaller 2 ft. x 3 ft. and 3 ft. x 5 ft. ovals fit entryways or next to a pool, and the 10 ft. x 13 ft. anchors a full outdoor living room with a sofa and coffee table. The oval shape softens angular furniture layouts and works under round tables. Pair navy or spruce green with natural wood pieces in our outdoor accent chairs collection, or use almond and olive beneath neutral wicker from our outdoor rugs section.
