I just finished resurfacing our deck with Pebble Grey Trex Select and we would like to add a small (~5x8’) rug. I found that Trex recommends “selecting a product crafted from natural fibers and materials, such as jute, sisal, or bamboo.” They add, “We advise being mindful of rugs made from plastic (polypropylene) or those with rubber backing, as they have the potential to draw out the colorant from the decking itself.”
Well, we’ve been looking online quite a bit, and it seems like the outdoor natural options are few and far between. The vast majority of options are plastic/polypropylene. We can’t seem to find many natural outdoor options that don’t have rubber or some type of synthetic backing.
Can anyone recommend a rug that won’t leach the color from the desk or cause other discoloration issues? Thanks!
