Garkani Multi 8' x 11' Oval Rug

The braided construction offers both aesthetic and functional advantages. Inspired by the texture of ocean-smoothed pebbles, the braid provides a durable, multi-directional weave that can withstand heavy foot traffic. Functionally, the lack of a traditional solid backing in many braided designs allows for better airflow and drainage, helping the rug dry more quickly after rain or cleaning.

Absolutely. In moisture-prone regions like the Pacific Northwest, choosing a 100% polypropylene rug is essential for protecting your deck. Because the fibers do not trap and hold moisture like cotton or jute, the rug dries significantly faster. This rapid drying process prevents water from sitting against your wood or composite decking for extended periods, reducing the risk of rot, discoloration, or mold growth beneath the rug.

Polypropylene is a high-performance synthetic fiber that is exceptionally suited for the outdoors because it is non-porous. Unlike natural fibers, it does not absorb water, making it inherently resistant to mold and mildew. This material is also engineered to be UV-resistant, ensuring that the vibrant colors of this coastal rug stay bright even when exposed to direct sun on an uncovered deck or patio.

This rug is specifically designed for all-weather use. The 100% polypropylene fibers are typically solution-dyed, a process that locks the color into the core of the fiber rather than just the surface. This makes the rug highly resistant to fading and "sun bleaching," even in high-UV climates like Florida or Arizona, maintaining its aesthetic appeal through years of sun exposure.

Yes, an oval rug is a strategic design choice for transitional or compact spaces. The gentle curves of an 8' x 11' oval shape help to "soften" the hard lines of rectangular patios or square decks. It is particularly effective for anchoring a circular or oval dining set, or for creating a focal point in a seating area without the boxy feel of a traditional rectangular rug.

For daily care, we recommend regular vacuuming or shaking out the rug to remove debris and dirt. For deeper maintenance and to preserve the intricate braided texture, our care instructions recommend professional cleaning. If you live in a region with harsh winter snow or freezing temperatures, our experts suggest rolling and storing the rug in a dry area during the off-season to protect the fibers from becoming brittle.
