We bought a house with a deck that needs lots of TLC. Since we were having a party before we could get all the stripping and resealing done, we thought we would just cover it up with an inexpensive rug. Well, the rug looks so good, that it can stay even after we get the deck cleaned up. And the coloring is neutral enough to go with whatever color choices we make for the deck and furniture. It only gets 4 stars because there's a bit of unraveling at one spot on the edge. It was easy to trim, so hopefully that was the end of it.
