I didn't realize when I purchased this rug how light weight it really was.  That is a plus because is dries fast after a rainstorm.  The minus is that any wind blows the entire rug up so it has to be totally weighted down.  I have recliners on on one end, an outdoor fireplace resting on the other end and have planter boxes on each of the sides.  So now the rug does not blow up but it is an obstacle course to get over to the recliners and the open peaceful look I was going for is now cluttered with all kinds of stuff holding the rug in place.
