We make four sizes, all rectangular. This guide tells you which one fits your space — and, just as usefully, when your space needs something larger than we make.
Our four sizes
| Size | Feet | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| 24" × 36" | 2 × 3 | Front step, back door landing, beside the grill |
| 36" × 60" | 3 × 5 | Front door, narrow porch, top of deck stairs, camper door |
| 48" × 72" | 4 × 6 | Balcony, covered entry, outdoor kitchen, small seating nook |
| 60" × 84" | 5 × 7 | Bistro table and two chairs, pair of loungers, compact patio |
The one-minute method
Set out your furniture the way you actually use it. Measure the full footprint, then add 24 inches on every side you want covered — 24 inches is roughly the distance a chair travels when someone pushes back to stand up.
If the number you land on is bigger than 60" × 84", we don't make it. Better to know that now than after it arrives.
By setup
Bistro table + 2 chairs
60" × 84" (5×7). Both chairs stay on the rug when pulled back. This is the setup our largest size was made for.
Two loungers side by side
60" × 84" (5×7). Run it lengthwise so it extends past the foot of each chair. Loungers get moved constantly, so a little extra beyond the frames is more useful than an exact fit.
Small seating nook — one chair and a side table
48" × 72" (4×6). Enough to ground the arrangement without running to the edges of a small balcony.
Balcony
24" × 36" or 36" × 60" on a narrow balcony, 48" × 72" if you have real depth. Leave four to six inches of bare floor visible on every side. Wall-to-wall coverage makes a small balcony feel smaller and traps water at the edges.
Front door
36" × 60" (3×5) is the standard choice, or 24" × 36" for a tight step. Measure the gap under your door first: anything under half an inch and you need our lowest-profile flatweave. Our rugs are low-pile, but door thresholds vary.
Covered porch with rocking chairs
48" × 72" or 60" × 84". Rockers need clearance front and back — measure the full arc, not the footprint at rest.
Grill zone
24" × 36" or 36" × 60". Enough to catch drips and give you somewhere to stand. Keep any rug clear of direct heat and open flame.
Campsite or RV pad
48" × 72" or 60" × 84". The strip outside the door where shoes come off and chairs go down.
When you need something bigger than we make
Be honest about this before ordering. You need a larger rug than our range if you have:
- A four-seat dining set. Needs 6×9 at minimum for chairs to stay on when pulled back.
- A six-seat dining set. Needs 8×10.
- An eight-seat table. Needs 9×12 or larger.
- A full outdoor sectional with a coffee table. Needs 8×10.
Putting a 5×7 under a six-seat dining table is the single most common outdoor rug mistake. The chairs half-tip off the edge every time someone sits down, and it makes the patio look smaller rather than finished.
Two things people get wrong
- Buying to fit the space instead of the furniture. A rug that runs wall to wall on a patio reads as flooring, not as a rug. Leave a margin.
- Forgetting the door swing. Applies to front doors, screen doors and any covered patio with a slider.
Still unsure? Tape the dimensions out on your patio with painter's tape and live with it for a day. It takes five minutes and settles the question.
