It’s to crash proof for BScoot. I don’t decorate lol but you have a point. I can give it to the rescue if it doesn’t work out and they have a use for it. Thanks @camelotshadowI suppose mold could grow if water got underneath & it remained damp too long.
You might have to lift it up after rain to let it dry & it might be more work than its decorative value.
No it isn’t terribly heavy feeling. Waiting for Jack to get off the treadmill so he can drag it inIs it really heavy? If not unbearably heavy I would slide a step stool or two underneath it when it got wet to help it dry out from underneath. If it’s really heavy forget what I said
I tried the much easier to deal with interlocking foam squares and Rudy said awesome and started ripping out chunks from them. This might turn out to be another failed experiment lolFlorida is very much like my state humidity-wise. If it were here, yes, it would mold up quite quickly.
Slight odor but it’s out in the open right now. Will offgas it in the garage or the horrible terrible nasty stinky stray cats will pee on itBTW, does the carpet have an odor? Sometimes the synthetic carpets have some off gassing.
Oh, Rudy!!I tried the much easier to deal with interlocking foam squares and Rudy said awesome and started ripping out chunks from them. This might turn out to be another failed experiment lol
Thanks for the link!Lowe's has outdoor carpet. It's 6 foot wide. They sell it by the foot. It's on a big roll. They cut it to how ever much you want. We tacked it down to our front porch (wood), as we didn't want to glue it down. You can use doube sided tape to adhere it to cement or just set one of yor plants on the corners. We've used this carpet for many years & it never molded.
This one is a cheap one too- indoor/outdoor carpetWith mine, I just let it lie. No tacking or glue, but it was on cement so slide was minimal and we had table/chairs helping keep it in place. Mine wasn't very cushy, but I had a cheap one.
If I need more coverage I’ll get it from Lowe’s. This is great news! Thank you!Lowe's has outdoor carpet. It's 6 foot wide. They sell it by the foot. It's on a big roll. They cut it to how ever much you want. We tacked it down to our front porch (wood), as we didn't want to glue it down. You can use double sided tape to adhere it to cement or just set one of yor plants on the corners. We've used this carpet for many years & it never molded. It's low pile, sort of ribbed. Colors are limited to dark grey, brown or black. We hose it off when needed.
Sounds like a plan! Thanks!I always used astroturf for my outdoor flying spaces because I had birds that bounced like over full water balloons…
I know that was completely waterproof. If your rug can get food or poo stuck in the fibers, you may have a hard time washing the bits completely out. But if you’ve got a shop vac, have the girls spray the carpet with the hose every Sunday and vacuum it.
