I purchased the brown color and it looks terrific on my lower deck. It’s not a solid brown but more heather brown with light and dark brown pile.The short pile is an excellent feature in that it does not collect a lot of Douglas Fir needles and if it does, they’re easily swept away or blown away with the leaf blower. 8 x 10 is a perfect size for my seating arrangementNow for the minor flaw. The carpet is thin and when chairs are moved, it can easily wrinkle. All this carpet needs is a little thicker backing and it would be a five star carpet. I recommend this carpet even with its imperfection of not having a thick enough backing. I would consider purchasing it again for another areas of my deck.
