Loading ...Outdoor Carpet Tiles
Another option to sprucing up that back yard is by using outdoor carpet tiles. Outdoor carpet tiles are actually square pieces of rug that you can place on your deck. The neat thing about them is that you can actually interlock them. Design ideas are also unlimited. You can buy different colors to create a unique ambiance in you outdoor living area. Just think of the ideas that you can come up when putting together a rug pattern with over 4 or 5 different colors. The only barrier that you should come across is your own imagination. Don’t be afraid to experiment as using these tiles can bring you years of enjoyment to you backyard or front yard deck or patio.
Another place that is often overlooked for placing outdoor carpet tiles is your pool area. If you have an in-ground pool, or even an above ground pool with a deck around it, you can places the tiles around certain areas. If your in-ground pool has a concrete slab around it, just think of how mice it would look with some carpeting placed in certain areas. You could even box off a certain area and use it for a bar. Lay the tiles in any design you want, place a bar and some bar stools on top of them. It will definitely add a touch of class to your backyard swimming pool.
You are probably wondering about the durability of outdoor carpet tiles? Well they hold up just like any other indoor outdoor rugs. They are really nice to lay in the high traffic areas that have been discussed already. One of the nice things about tiles over rugs is that if a certain part of your carpeting gets damaged (think kids spilling kool-aid) then all you have to do is to replace the one square, not the entire rug like you would have to do with other options. This will save you a lot of time and money if you happen to be the neighborhood house that all of the kids spend a lot of time at.
If you are looking to go an entirely different direction with styles or themes with our outdoor carpet tiles then use something made up of olefin. What that will look like is artificial grass type rug. The best thing about olefin is that it isn’t as pricey. So if you are on a budget but in a hurry to get started, this is another option that you have to decorate the backyard.
One thing I forgot to mention is that most types of outdoor carpet tiles will require padding of some sort. You can usually pick some up at the same place that you bought your tiles. Just be sure to find out if the tiles you buy need some sort of sub-floor, or padding.
As you can see, outdoor carpet tiles are another option then what has previously mentioned on this site. Cost is about the same but as stated before, you can really get creative using outdoor carpet tiles to do your decorating with.
