Q: What is the difference between the Mat and the Rug?
MAT is developed to be staked down into the earth permanently (R.V / outdoor living) to replace ugly concrete slabs.

The easiest way to see how a MAT fits into your life is that it is an extension to your tired ground sheet or canvas. MAT has a dual layer weave which is resilient and well suited to place picnic chairs and tables on a solid ground.
RUG comes in many different colors and is an extension to picnic blankets and beach towels. RUG has a smooth top layer so is comfortable to touch and lay on directly.
