VUNATE Outdoor Rug Carpet 9'x12' Waterproof Reversible Patio Rug Portable Indoor Outdoor Rug Plastic Straw Rug for Beach RV Camping Garden Picnic Deck Backyard Tropical Porch Decor Gray and Black

I love rugs like this for my patio in the summer time. They're easy to clean and don't fade. This one came with a very nice case (photo) and is a generous 6x9. I plan to use it under my outdoor dining set. It is also reversible. The edges are also reinforced and sewn. It will look good with another palm print rug I have for a seating area. Now I just need summer to get here so I can use it!

Because this is made of "plastic straw," it is not absorbent like a fabric rug. Easy to Clean: You can just sweep it or hose it off with water. It won't hold onto smells or stains easily. Quick Drying: Since it doesn't absorb water, it dries very fast after rain, preventing mold and mildew—a huge plus for uncovered patios. 2. Reversible Design The description notes it is reversible. This is a great value feature because it essentially gives you two rugs in one. If one side gets a stubborn stain or fades from the sun, you can simply flip it over to refresh the look. 3. Portability (RV/Camping Friendly) Plastic straw rugs are incredibly lightweight. The description mentions "Beach, RV, Camping." This suggests the rug likely folds up compactly (sometimes they even come with a carrying bag). It is easy to pack into a trunk or camper storage without adding significant weight. 4. Durable for High Traffic The gray and black color scheme is excellent for hiding dirt, mud, and shoe prints compared to lighter colors like beige or cream. The Cons (Things to watch out for) 1. Texture and Feel It is crucial to understand the "plastic straw" material. It is not plush: Do not expect this fabric to feel like a soft indoor carpet. It will feel like woven plastic. It is comfortable enough to walk on barefoot, but it is not "cozy." Creases: Because these are often folded for shipping/portability, it may have crease lines that take some time to flatten out in the sun. 2. Weight (Wind Issues) Because plastic straw rugs are lightweight, they are susceptible to blowing away in strong winds. Solution: You will likely need to weigh down the corners with furniture (chairs/tables) or purchase rug stakes if you are using it on a lawn or at the beach. 3. Heat Sensitivity Warning: Plastic straw rugs can melt. You generally cannot place a fire pit or a barbecue grill directly on top of this rug, as popping embers or high radiant heat will damage the plastic weave.
