{"product_id":"koi-pond-animal-polyester-rug-midnight","title":"Koi Pond Animal Polyester Rug - Midnight","description":"\u003ch5\u003eDescription\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is an outdoor rug printed with a koi pond scene: orange, white and spotted koi carp swimming among lily pads on a deep navy blue ground. The design is digitally printed onto a polyester flatweave base, which puts the detail and colour right into the surface of the cloth rather than raised into a pile. It measures 120 x 170cm, a size that anchors a small seating group, a bistro set or a reading corner without swamping a balcony. Polyester is the fibre that makes an outdoor rug work: it sheds water rather than soaking it up, so the rug does not stay sodden the way a natural fibre would.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is made for a patio, a balcony or a terrace, and it is happy indoors too, so it moves between a conservatory in winter and the decking in summer. The dark ground is forgiving of the marks a garden throws at it, and the busy print hides the odd fallen leaf or scuff. Because it is lightweight and folds down, you can roll it up and take it to a picnic or lay it on the beach, then bring it back and put it straight down by the back door. It sits well with rattan, black metal furniture and plenty of green planting, where the koi and lilies read as a natural extension of the garden.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe base is a woven polyester flatweave, chosen because it is hard-wearing underfoot yet soft enough to be comfortable, and the fibre is UV resistant so the colours hold up to sun. It is machine washable, which is the real advantage of a printed synthetic rug over a woven wool one. After heavy rain, hang it up to dry so water does not sit in the weave, and store it inside over the colder months to keep it fresh for spring. If you like this print, it is worth knowing it also appears on a matching cushion in the same koi pond design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e100% polyester\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDesign\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDigitally printed koi pond, koi carp and lily pads on a navy ground\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConstruction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWoven polyester flatweave, UV resistant, suitable for indoor or outdoor use\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSize\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e120 x 170cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWashing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMachine washable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProduct care\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHang up to dry after heavy rain, store inside over the colder months\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan this rug really be left outside?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, it is made for indoor or outdoor use, and the polyester is weatherproof and UV resistant so the colours hold up to sun and rain.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow should I clean it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is machine washable, which makes it easy to freshen up after a summer outside or a trip to the beach.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat do I do after heavy rain?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe recommend hanging it up to dry so water does not sit in the weave, then laying it back down once it is dry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it heavy to move around?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo, it is lightweight and folds down, so you can roll it up to take on a picnic or bring it in for winter storage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size is it and what will it suit?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt measures 120 x 170cm, which is a good fit for a small seating group, a bistro set or a reading corner on a patio or balcony.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eIs it a pile rug?\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo, it is a flatweave, so the print sits flat in the surface rather than being raised into a pile, which is part of why it folds and washes easily.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Paoletti","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53312861536523,"sku":"KOI\/RG1\/MID","price":49.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8993\/3835\/files\/riva-koi_rg1_mid-2-src_3.jpg?v=1787166863","url":"https:\/\/niori.co.uk\/products\/koi-pond-animal-polyester-rug-midnight","provider":"Niori","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
