Was this helpful?We have an outdoor walkway which is exposed to weather. The base is wood. The top is outdoor carpet.

Our Rugged Grip-Loc Tiles would be a great alternative to your outdoor carpet. These tiles are weather resistant and are slip resistant when wet.

The weight of the tiles interlocked together will keep them in place.

Was this helpful?I need to figure out what to use under my new 8'X10' patio rug so that when it rains it dries nicely and the water evaporates or runs off. I would also need the edging, but I don't know the difference (I know, sounds stupid) between the female edges or male edges. Can you help me please?
Female edging has loops on it and male edging has no loops. You can use either for your installation and would use both if placing edging all around. The female edges would correspond to the side with no loop and vice versa for the male edges.
