Outdoorrugsonly.com answers YOUR questions!

We here at Outdoor Rugs Only love answering questions about our products. We are the number one online retailer dealing exclusively in outdoor rugs and mats, and we can answer any questions you may have about them.

Before you shop with us, feel free to Contact us!

We will find an outdoor rug that works for you. There are infinite design applications for our products, which range from door mats to extra large, area outdoor rugs. And some of the best ideas come from you

Recently, we were asked to recommend a rug capable of being placed directly on a grassy lawn. This is intended to create an area upon which a gazebo could be placed.

If you don't already have a patio large enough to fit a gazebo (as pictured above), you can easily create a grass-free area with two quality outdoor rugs. Depending on your specific size requrements, a pair of 5x8 or 8x10 machine-made rugs from outdoorrugsonly.com work perfectly. 

Ensure that the rugs lay as flat as possible, and in an area where standing water rarely, if EVER, accumulates during a hard rain. This will prevent dirt and debris from washing up on the rugs. When you do need to clean them, hose them down, brushing over them gently if necessary. 


Sturdy, machine made rugs with low pile heights from Couristan and Transocean will likely be your best bet, and most are in stock at both 5x8 and 8x10.

Three different sizes. Three mind-blowing outdoor rug bargains.

Exhibit A.
I don't care if you hate pears, or have an orchard of pear trees in your backyard. This rug is awesome.
AU PEAR -- 2' x 3' door mat in Beige and Green by Jaipur
I keep one of these door mats next to my desk. In my experience, there are few outdoor rugs like these. They feel EXTREMELY soft and they don't shed fibers and are sturdily constructed on the reverse end.

Exhibit B.
This is the kind of rug you have to see in action to really appreciate. This is Couristan Rug Company's Summit Cocoa/Black from the Recife collection. The 7 feet 6 inches x 10 feet 9 inches version can arrive in your home next week for only $239.00

Exhibit C.
Sometimes, simple colors and unobtrusive styles match already beautiful outdoor settings best. Rather than command the attention of an entire area, the Sawgrass Mills "Two Tones Oatmeal" complements its surroundings, blending in while still looking great. It comes in a 5' x 8', the ideal size for most patios or decks. It'll fit most places at that size, and is fairly easy on the back when you want to move it somewhere else in the house. Get the medium for 99.99 today (Same day shipping).

Something about oatmeal-colored rugs just makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Maybe it's because the inventor of oatmeal, the Quaker Oatmeal dude, has such an adorable old man face.

His ruddy cheeks certainly suggest he's consumed no meager amount of delicious oats during his lifetime. And his arrogant, self-satisfied smirk suggests that he's somehow happier than we will ever be in our lifetimes.


Besides, we all know that oatmeal as both a food and color never reached mainstream consumption until hall and oats took the music and oat world by storm. Note the overly bushy mustache, and confused facial expressions.

These guys get it. They know what oatmeal is all about. So does Outdoorrugsonly.com. We have over 150 oatmealy rugs to choose from.

Jellybean Novelty Door Mats -- "So cute you try to avoid stepping on them and end up tripping over your cat."

Of course it doesn't matter if you do step on a Jellybean mat, even if you've just returned from a vigorous pigeage session --
pigeage = stomping on grapes.
(don't attempt this at home unless Fox News is recording you doing it, so we can laugh at you.)

Jellybean mats are some of the softest, most durable door mats on the market, and may be machine washed regularly. Like the hues comprising our very own Star Spangled Banner, these colors don't run.



You might be thinking these mats lack durability, feeling so plush and comfortable to the touch. Maybe they're too delicate, with such unusually vibrant colors and cute, casually chic designs.

WRONG. These door mats are more durable than you. You can't be washed in a washing machine. You aren't immune to fading or mildew. You will succumb eventually to wear and tear. You aren't a novelty door mat that can go outdoors or in. I don't want to step on you with my bare feet, or with my shoes on.


In many ways, Jellybeans are, and will always be, better than you. Fortunately, you may buy them. www.Outdoorrugsonly.com has the widest selection of Jellybean rugs on the internet. 

Order before 4 p.m. Eastern time during the week, and they'll ship from our warehouse THAT DAY. Did we mention shipping was free?

New Year's Resolution -- Making your house less ugly with beautiful rugs at special prices.

Outdoorrugsonly.com, the premier online retailer in durable, outdoor-friendly area rugs, is now blogging. Here you will find information on sales and other rug-related info that you need to know if you're looking to put rugs outside or need a rug at all. We have a lot of really affordable rugs. Even if you don't have a place for them in an outdoor space at the moment, they're a good -- NAY, GREAT -- call inside as well.

...Why, you ask?
KIDS
and
DOGS 

The former will spill its juice surely as the latter will perform its necessaries upon your rugs. These are indisputable facts of life, proven by science, that people with indoor rugs have to learn the hard way. Our outdoor rugs are better than indoor rugs. They are in many cases composed of 100% polypropylene. What does that actually mean?

(What wikipedia says polypropylene looks like up close.)

Polypropylene is one of those miracles of science that allows rugs to remain extraordinarily colorfast in the face of the worst wear and tear imaginable. Rugs manufactured with this type of material stand up remarkably well to vigorous washing. Stains caused by well-meaning children and dogs can be removed without fear of mildew or other factors normally creating the need for replacement when dealing with traditionally designed rugs.

What's more, we've got some great specials right now with some of our original Sawgrass Mills' outdoor rugs. Check it out!!!!!
