LONG-LASTING OUTDOOR DOORMAT: Nautical-grade lobster rope can withstand rain, mud, sleet, snow, ice and sun. A quality, durable outside doormat to last for years. MADE FOR OUTDOORS: Lobster rope is constructed with heavy-duty, twisted, hard polyolefin rope - made to withstand the elements and anything Mother Nature has to offer. It's also UV-stabilized for sunlight resistance. The rope is fast-drying, so you don't have to worry about squishy or soaked outdoor mats. YEAR-ROUND FRONT DOOR MAT: This hardworking, 5 lb. door mat does not retain water and can be left outside all year, due to the all-weather and UV-stabilized lobster rope. EASY-TO-CLEAN WELCOME MAT: Dirt conveniently falls through the mat, so no need to vacuum! Simply shake off residual dirt and wash with a hose. HANDWOVEN IN MAINE: Each lobster rope doormat is expertly handwoven by skilled mat weavers in Maine. To be placed on non-skid surfaces only.
