Although composite decks are more durable and resistant to rotting unlike wooden decks. You must be careful when shopping for an outdoor rug for your deck.

Outdoor rugs that are safe for composite decking are mostly synthetic such as polypropylene or recycled plastic. Avoid natural fiber rugs such as jute as they tend to be scratchy and rugs with a rubber backing.
