Fresh Stripes Teal 6'7 x 9'6 Indoor/Outdoor Rug

Yes, this rug is well-suited for wooden decks, especially in humid or coastal regions. Because it is specifically treated to be mold and mildew resistant, it is less likely to trap the kind of organic growth that can damage wood surfaces compared to natural fiber alternatives. However, as a best practice for deck longevity, we recommend occasionally lifting the rug after heavy rain to ensure the wood underneath can breathe and dry completely.

This rug is designed for all-weather use, which includes resistance to UV exposure. The synthetic polypropylene and polyester yarns used in the "Fresh Stripes" collection are specifically chosen for their ability to hold color depth. While all textiles can eventually show wear from years of intense sun, these materials are far more fade-resistant than natural dyes, making them ideal for sunny, uncovered pool decks or patios.

The 6'7" x 9'6" dimensions of this rug make it a versatile "mid-size" option. To create a cohesive look in a seating area, we recommend a rug that is large enough for the front legs of your sofa and chairs to rest on the surface. This grounds the furniture and prevents a "floating" look. For smaller bistro sets or compact balconies, you might also consider the 5'3" x 7'7" or 8' round variations to better fit the specific footprint of your space.

Maintenance is straightforward due to the rug's water-resistant synthetic fibers. For general cleaning, you can simply hose the rug down with water and allow it to dry thoroughly in the sun. For pet accidents or deeper stains, our care guidelines recommend using a mild detergent and a soft-bristle brush to gently scrub the affected area before rinsing. Because it is mildew resistant, the rug is designed to dry quickly without developing odors.

This rug is engineered from a high-performance blend of 85.4% Polypropylene, 10.4% Polyester, and 4.2% Vinyl. Unlike natural fibers like jute or sisal, which can absorb moisture and eventually rot, these synthetic materials are non-absorbent and naturally resistant to mold and mildew. This makes the rug a far more durable choice for exposed environments, ensuring it retains its structural integrity and "Fresh Stripes" appearance even after heavy rainfall or humid conditions.

Absolutely. While many outdoor rugs can feel coarse, this rug is crafted with a soft synthetic yarn designed to offer a comfortable feel underfoot. Its low-pile construction makes it an excellent choice for high-traffic indoor areas such as playrooms, dining rooms, or mudrooms where you need the durability of an outdoor product without sacrificing the comfort of a traditional indoor carpet.
