Although the rug is nice, it really isn't the best for outside use. We bought it to set apart the sitting and eating area on our deck and it does that very well.  Unfortunately It takes more than a day to dry and is almost soggy for hours after it rains.  We tried to pull out water using a shop vac and it helped but this is not what I expect from the rug. Although our deck is well stained we are considering removing the rug as we don't want the hassle of rotting wood due to a soaking rug sitting on the wood for days.
When ordering I read all about the carpet and they even have a picture of the rug being hosed down.  This gives the impression that water seeps through the rug and it dries fast which is misleading.  
I am now looking for a rug that is only for outside use, no more polypropylene rugs for us.
If you have a covered or enclosed area, this rug would be a good choice, but for an area open to the weather, I suggest you try something else.
