Does this mean that it is not as thick or soft as an indoor only rug or???

Indoor/outdoor carpet is basically almost commercial grade. It is low pile, like berber so that way it does not fall apart upon elements outside. It will not be thick and soft like regular pile carpet. It will last longer tho.

It's a rug that is versatile, meaning it can be used both inside and outside.
It is usually not quite as thick and soft as an indoor rug, but it's not hard or prickly like an outdoor rug.

Indoor/Outdoor Rugs offer the look and texture of natural fiber (like jute or sisal rugs), but these area rugs are woven from finely spun synthetic matieral for lasting wear. They are quick drying, non-fading, and resist stains and mildew. To speak to your question, the are *not* as thick or as soft as a wool area rug. But they're great for kids' rooms where they might get spills, and they add lots of color & interest to decks & patios.

The new rugs are made of polypropylene. I bought one from Frontgate (catalog) for my screened porch and it was beautifully soft. They do not fade from the sun and only need to be hosed off to clean. Because these new blends are so soft and the patterns copy more expensive wools, they are great for high traffic areas indoors as well. I am putting two of them in my new house.

Usually it's quite a bit rougher.. and tougher. I use mine for in front of the door. So people can wipe their feet on it.
