This rug has vibrant colors and seems to be sturdy enough for outside wear and tear.  Mine is on our roof deck, which isn't covered, and when it rains it takes a long time to dry out.  I'm not sure how that will impact the longevity of the rug yet, but it is inconvenient if you want to sit out on the deck the day after it rains as you end up with wet, squishy feet.  May be better suited for a semi-covered area or climate with infrequent rain.
