patio mats

JesssMe — Tue, 20 Mar 2018 18:56:13 GMT

I purchased a patio mat from QVC several years ago, and it was folded. It took years for all the creases to finally lay flat.

Now, I am in need of a new one. I recall last year seeing some of the cheaper ones, less than $ 50,00, that came rolled. I have searched on the patio mat page, but I don't see any that come rolled.

Does anyone know of a cheaper one that comes rolled?
Thanks in advance.

Suggest you do a forums search for indoor-outdoor rugs. You should be able to tell if the flooring in question Is shipped folded or rolled.

I think all of the mats are folded, but with rugs, some are folded and some are rolled.

I know this is obvious, but is there a reason you don't want to buy one locally? Then you could buy it flat and take it home flat or rolled.

The overall quality, minus the folds, and price make QVC a better option for a purchase.

Why in the world would you want another when it took the original a long time to flatten? I had one of those mats that was constantly blown up by the wind. I tripped over its edge and nearly broke my neck. The same day, I took the thing and put it in the garbage can. I think they're extremely dangerous.

I've been searching high and low for an indoor-outdoor rug in 5'7" for my mother. I also wanted no folds. I found a Scott's Bros rug that was marked down for the last gardening day. It was rolled. I haven't seen it yet, but my mother was happy. It sold out that day. I don't know if something like that is too heavy. You will probably have better luck with it being rolled.

I have four mats that fold. Mine are a few years old and still like new.i put them on my decks and secure the ends so that they don’t lift up and blow away.

My fold line always come out in a few days after being in the sun. Last year QVC had several mates that were rolled up instead of folded. They were nice, but ai didn’t need another one, so I passed.

Last fall, my DH rolled our folded mats to store them, so this year, there should be no fold lines at all.

i have purchased those mats at an RV Center and they didn’t even last one season. They splintered and fell apart. The ones sold on QVC are the best that I have owned.

You could always buy a folded one and store it rolled up so that the food line don’t come back or keep checking QVC. They will probably have have new rolled ones this year.

M51808 veranda mat is what I’ve ordered and been very happy. It was in the house for a while, and then I put it outside on the patio. It looks so nice and lays flat. It came rolled up but laid flat pretty quickly. Reversible too. The small doormat sized one slips inside on hard floors, so it went outside for the pup to rest on.

I have two of the Veranda outdoor rugs from QVC, and I live in western NY and I leave them out all year round on my covered deck, and they take a licking and still look great. They come rolled up in a long box.

Ahhh... the memories. I got one of QVC's folded mats 15-20 years ago. The folds were horrid. A few days after I put the mat on our uncovered deck, we had one of those big spring thunderstorms. That mat totally disintegrated in the rain - nothing left of it but a few green plastic pieces about the size of toothpicks on the deck. I called QVC's CS and they told me I had to return the mat in order to get a refund. So I picked up a handful of those 'plastic toothpicks' and mailed them in an envelope back to QVC. I got my refund.

I recently saw them at Costsco for $19. Roles up, not laced flat.

Good luck.
