Ecology Outdoor Rug | Grey Diamond Flatweave | Weatherproof Polypropylene

Can this rug be left outside permanently?

Yes. Polypropylene does not absorb water, so it will not rot or go mouldy, and the flat weave lets rain pass straight through. It will last longer if you roll it away over winter, but it does not need bringing in every time it rains.

What size do I need?

For a dining set, allow at least 60cm beyond the table edge on every side so chairs stay on the rug when pulled out. For a corner sofa or lounge set, the rug should sit under the front legs of every seat at minimum. For a bistro set or balcony, a smaller rug that frames the table usually looks better than one filling the whole floor.

Will it fade in the sun?

The colours are UV resistant, not UV proof. A rug in full unbroken sun will lighten gradually over several seasons. Turning it end to end once or twice a year evens out both fading and wear.

Can I use it indoors?

Yes. The low-profile flat weave and polypropylene backing work well in conservatories, hallways, kitchens and other high-traffic indoor areas.

How do I clean it?

Brush off loose dirt, then hose down and let it drain. A soft brush with warm water and mild washing-up liquid lifts most marks. Dry fully on both sides before laying it back down. No bleach, no pressure washers, no machine washing.

What other colours does the Ecology range come in?

Grey, beige, cream, black, blue and aqua, across several diamond pattern variations. See them all in our outdoor rugs collection.
