recycled indoor/outdoor rugs?

[beachbaby]

Anyone have one like this ? Do they really hold up well outdoors?
Any sources besides Gaiam?

Thanks!

Your link wasn't working, but if it's this, we've had that rug for about a year, and it still looks like new. We did take it in for the winter though. Anyhow, we love it. We use it so our kids won't get splinters on the back porch. I bought it at Gethsemane garden center in Chicago, where they had quite a variety of sizes and colors. Oh, hey! Here is a website that has lots of them!

oops, sorry about the link (that's what I get typing with a toddler on my lap)but, thanks, katja!! I'm not too crazy about the color choices at Gaiam, so happy to see more choices on the other 2 sites. Off to look some more....

I bought one of these (from Sweep Dreams), and it wasn't what I was expecting. I thought it would be like polyester (you know, they make polyester fabric from recycled soda bottles, like fleece), but it was very plastic-y, shiny and slick. I couldn't tell that in the photos, so I was surprised. I used it indoors for a while, but it was too slippery (yes, I had a rug grippy thing under it). I moved it outside, and it started to disintegrate after a few months, with the weft fibers (more like very thin strips of plastic) just crumbling away from the warp threads. I was very disappointed. I wouldn't buy another one.
