@BeverlyFLADeziner Thank you so much! It helps so much to see a picture to visualize, thank you for putting that together. I heard that even outdoor rugs don't dry well and lead to issues, but I love the beauty a rug adds. Any specific material I should consider?

It should be designated for outdoor use. The rug will be Olefin or Polypropelene. Yes they take a while to dry out and they can mildew with too much shade and water but they can be washed with a garden hose and heavy duty cleaner.

@BeverlyFLADeziner I have a question regarding rugs on the main level and second level: should they be of the same type and color? Trying to figure if I should keep the same color scheme on both levels.

I would keep the same color scheme on all levels and further tie it together with the same pots and types/colors of flowers in planters.

Nice, thank you!
