Finding a durable area rug that stands up to UV exposure, moisture, and heavy foot traffic without fading or mildewing is a common challenge for outdoor spaces. The LOOMLAN Basi 5x7 Indoor Outdoor Black Patio Rug, available at LOOMLAN with free shipping, solves this with weather-resistant polypropylene construction and a tone-on-tone woven texture that masks dirt between cleanings.
Hand-woven in India from 100% polyester with UV-stabilized fibers, this black outdoor rug resists fading in direct sunlight and dries quickly after rain. The flat-weave design prevents mold and mildew growth while delivering extra-soft underfoot comfort for barefoot use on patios, decks, and covered porches.

What Is an Outdoor Rug?
An outdoor rug is constructed from synthetic fibers like polypropylene or polyester that resist UV damage, moisture, mold, and mildew in exposed conditions. These rugs typically feature flat or low-pile construction for quick drainage and easy cleaning with a hose.
What You Get With the LOOMLAN Basi Outdoor Rug
- UV-Stabilized Polyester -- Resists fading and fiber degradation under direct sunlight for multi-season performance.
- Tone-on-Tone Woven Texture -- Subtle pattern hides dirt and conceals wear while adding depth to the black colorway.
- Mold and Mildew Resistant -- Flat-weave construction promotes airflow and rapid drying after rain or spills.
- Hand-Woven Quality -- Artisan construction in India delivers superior durability compared to machine-made alternatives.
- Extra-Soft Surface -- Comfortable barefoot texture balances weather resistance with indoor-level softness.
How Do I Choose the Right Size Outdoor Rug?
The 5' x 7' size anchors seating groups on small balconies or under bistro tables, while the 8' x 10' fits sectionals on medium decks. For large patios with dining sets and lounge areas, the 9' x 12' and 10' x 14' options define multiple zones while leaving 12-18 inches of clearance from railings or planters.
Styling Your Outdoor Space
Pair this black rug with teak or aluminum outdoor furniture for a contemporary resort aesthetic, or layer it under colorful cushions and throws for contrast. Browse LOOMLAN's curated outdoor patio furniture and coordinating outdoor rugs to complete your design.
Where Should I Place This Rug?
Position the 5' x 7' size under a four-person dining table, leaving 24 inches on each side for chair clearance. For covered porches, center the 8' x 10' beneath a sofa and two armchairs with 18 inches extending beyond furniture legs.
