I used this on a covered deck. Rain splash hasn’t bothered it. It doesn’t sweep easily but I solved that problem with a lightweight battery powered leaf blower. There were a few loose threads starting to unravel I tucked them under and smeared them with clear craft glue. It’s holding well. I was surprised that I can use both sides of the rug. The top is a real nice blue leaf design. The back doesn’t have any blue, just beiges. The beige side went better with my old cushions. I will flip it to the blue palm leaves when I get my new cushions.
