Why not! You can choose a synthetic material rug rather than one made of fabric. The concept of mats or chatai in the Indian scenario is very popular. It’s not very expensive and hence can be changed in every season.

You can have a number of options available in the market from which you can choose. There are outdoor rugs which are the perfect for all locations, for indoor or protected outdoor use. Rather than selecting jute or sisal, you can have sun- and mold-resistant synthetic yarn that resists fading, rot or mildew if wet.

Why do want to put a rug in the outdoors? I think outdoors are best left in their natural element.
