Now hear us out — an outdoor area rug is a summer essential you never thought you needed. 

We know you want to maximize your time outdoors while the sun is shining and the weather is sweet, but without a convenient place to sit, the couch continues to call. 

Look no further than Walmart for the perfect solution to your lounging and sunbathing needs, allowing you to indulge in relaxation anywhere your heart desires. The Mainstays 6’x9’ Navy Tropical Palm Outdoor Area Rug is thicker and more durable than a blanket and more versatile and affordable than outdoor furniture. Here are just a few ways you can use yours this summer.

Picnic day, every day 

Whether you’ve got a backyard in the 'burbs or patio in your apartment, taking your lunch outdoors every day is one of the simplest ways to maximize your summer WFH days. 

If you struggle to get yourself outside, pop your Outdoor Area Rug outside each morning. Come lunchtime, all you have to do is tote your lunch outside and plop yourself down. The fade-resistant properties and easy-clean surface will ensure it maintains its vibrancy come rain or shine.

No capping your summer crew

Maybe you have a couple of seats and a table on your patio or shared rooftop. But that’s not quite enough seats to gather your crew together in the summer. 

An Outdoor Area Rug will instantly expand the number of seats you have available, meaning you can invite more friends or family to celebrate the sun and truly get the most out of your social quality time. 

Turn your road trip pit stops into something more enjoyable

At just 15 pounds, the Outdoor Area Rug can be easily packed up into your camper or car. Not only will you have something to lay out when you reach your final destination, but you’ll also be able to turn pit stops into picturesque picnics. 

If your rug needs a mid-trip clean, just grab a broom or garden hose — it’s that easy.
