I used the rug to create even flooring over pallets, to use as the floor for an outdoor bubble tent. It_ been great. We put foam gym flooring on top of the rug in the middle of the tent so it_ comfortable to sit, play and garden on. The rug has been perfect so far because it can withstand all the moisture and wetness of the Pacific NW rain. There_ no mold or wear and tear on the part of the rug that isn_ covered by the tent and it_ been rained on constantly, run and played on by kids and dogs daily and still, it always looks clean and neat!
