This is less than a year and rolling it up and bringing it inside when not home. Not only did it immediately fade, but the binding unraveled. It was a beautiful rug, however it is not meant for outdoor even with care and a tremendous waste of money.  The red was the first to go. I am sick over and carried it to the trash today.  It may at best have seen 2-3 months of use intermittently.  In fairness this is Florida but I normally get about two years out of a rug with care!
