Description
This is an outdoor rug woven in a bold checkerboard of soft yellow and off-white squares, made entirely from polypropylene and sized at 120 x 180cm. The pattern is a large-scale check rather than a fine one, so each square reads clearly from across a patio or deck, and the two contrasting tones give it plenty of presence without being loud. Polypropylene is the reason a rug like this can live outside: it does not absorb water the way a natural fibre does, so it sheds rain and shrugs off damp rather than holding it and turning musty.
At 120 x 180cm it is a generous size for a seating area, big enough to sit under a chair and a side table or to mark out a spot on decking or a paved terrace. It suits a garden, a balcony or a covered porch, and the cheerful yellow works well against natural wood and planting. Because it is made for outside, you can use it where an ordinary indoor rug would not last, though it is just as at home in a kitchen or a hallway where an easy-clean floor covering earns its keep.
The rug is a jacquard weave and is reversible, which gives you two faces to choose from and a way to even out wear by flipping it over. Polypropylene wipes down easily, so spills and garden dirt come away with a cloth or a rinse rather than a wash cycle, and the colour is designed to hold up to sun and weather. Roll it up to store it over winter and it will be ready again come spring. It is a practical, good-humoured choice for anyone who wants pattern underfoot outdoors.

Frequently Asked
Can this rug stay outside in the rain?
Yes. It is made from polypropylene, which does not soak up water, so it copes with rain and damp far better than a natural fibre rug would.
How do I clean it?
Polypropylene wipes clean easily, so most spills and garden dirt come away with a damp cloth, and you can give it a rinse for anything more stubborn.
What does the reversible design mean?
The rug has a usable pattern on both faces, so you get two looks in one and can flip it over to spread out wear over time.
What size is it and where will it fit?
It measures 120 x 180cm, which is a good size for a seating area on a patio, deck or balcony, sitting under a chair and small table.
Can I use it indoors too?
Yes. While it is built for outdoor use, its easy-clean surface makes it just as practical in a kitchen or hallway where floors take a lot of traffic.
