Fab Habitat Outdoor Rug - 8 x 8 ft Square Waterproof Striped

Our review of the Fab Habitat Outdoor Rug finds it best suited for anyone who needs a low-maintenance, durable floor covering for patios, decks or entry spaces; the single biggest reason to buy is that it combines fully recycled, weatherproof construction with a soft, foot-friendly surface that cleans with a hose. In practical use the rug resists soaking and fading, rolls and stores without permanent creases, and delivers a striped, reversible look that works equally well by a pool or inside a mudroom.

Key Features

• Recycled construction: Made from 100% premium recycled plastic tubes, the rug offers a sturdy woven surface that keeps old material out of landfills while remaining recyclable at end of life.
• Waterproof and stain resistant: The plastic weave does not absorb moisture, so spills and wet footprints rinse away easily with a hose.
• UV resistant color: The fibers are treated to resist fading, helping the striped Cancun Candy pattern stay bright in sun-exposed locations.
• Crease-free storage: Rugs are shipped and rolled without folds, and included elastic bands (and a carrier bag on some sizes) help preserve a flat, elegant appearance.
• Child-labor free certification: Fab Habitat is GoodWeave certified, which indicates the rug was produced without child labor and follows responsible manufacturing practices.
• Reversible design: The rug can be flipped to show a subtle reversed pattern, effectively giving two looks in one product.

Who It's For

The Fab Habitat rug is ideal for homeowners with a busy outdoor life: people with pools, pet owners, caregivers of small children, and anyone who wants a rug that cleans with simple hosing rather than delicate washing. It also fits small covered patios, RVs, or porches where moisture and dirt are regular concerns.

This rug is less appropriate for someone seeking a traditional wool or dense indoor carpet feel, or for locations that require a plush high-pile surface for sound insulation. If a very soft, high-absorbency indoor mat is the priority, a textile indoor rug would be a better choice.

Pros & Cons
