nuLOOM Sabina Diamond Trellis Indoor/Outdoor Area Rug 8x10

4.5

$358

The nuLOOM Sabina Diamond Trellis is the volume pick for an 8x10 patio rug — $358 buys a power-loomed polypropylene rug with a diamond-trellis pattern that hides dirt and reads neutral under most furniture. The 90/10 polypropylene-polyester blend is UV- and stain-resistant per nuLOOM's specs, and the 12-size lineup means you can match the rug to a tight balcony or a full pergola. It won't machine-wash like Ruggable, but at less than half the price of the comparable Josephine Sunrise 8x10 cover, it's the better math for a covered patio.

Strengths

— $358 for a true 8x10 makes it the lowest price-per-square-foot premium-tier pick in this lineup
— 90% polypropylene / 10% polyester construction is UV-, water-, and stain-resistant per nuLOOM specs
— Diamond-trellis pattern reads neutral and works under most outdoor furniture color palettes

Watch-outs

— Pile is sub-half-inch and rated low-profile — feels closer to indoor sisal than plush outdoor turf
— Latex/polyester backing is non-slip but not waterproof; standing water can wick through to a wood deck
— Some Home Depot reviewers flagged fraying after a few weeks of heavy indoor doorway traffic

Ranked #3 in Best Outdoor Rugs

Safavieh Beach House BHS218 Indoor/Outdoor Patio Rug 8x10

4.4

$194

The Safavieh Beach House BHS218 is the budget anchor for a large patio. At $194 for a true 8x10 it's the cheapest premium-tier pick here, and Safavieh's synthetic polypropylene construction delivers the baseline outdoor-rug specs — stain, mold, mildew, and fade resistance — in a coastal striped pattern. Customer reviews split sharply on fade behavior: covered patios and pergolas get years of service, but full-sun uncovered installations have flagged measurable color loss after one summer.

Strengths

— $194 for an 8x10 is the lowest dollar price of any premium-tier rug in this lineup
— Synthetic polypropylene fibers rated stain-, mold-, mildew-, and fade-resistant by Safavieh
— Non-shedding construction holds up to regular vacuuming and high foot traffic

Watch-outs

— Some customers reported drastic color fading after a single summer in unprotected full sun
— 1/4-inch low pile feels thin underfoot — not the rug for poolside lounging
— Customer noted the rug stayed completely soaked 12 hours after rain on an uncovered deck

How they stack up

nuLOOM Sabina Diamond Trellis Indoor/Outdoor Area Rug 8x10

At $358 for 8x10, it's the price-per-square-foot leader vs. the Safavieh Beach House BHS218 8x10 ($194 on Amazon — even cheaper but with shorter pile) and the Ruggable Josephine Sunrise 8x10 (cover-only $569 + pad). Versus the Loloi II Easton 7'-10'' x 10' (~$400-500), the Sabina is similar polypropylene construction but trades the Easton's reversibility for a wider size lineup.

Safavieh Beach House BHS218 Indoor/Outdoor Patio Rug 8x10

At $194 for 8x10, it undercuts the nuLOOM Sabina Diamond Trellis ($358 for the same 8x10 size) by 45%. The trade-off is shorter pile and a less dirt-hiding solid-stripe pattern vs the Sabina's diamond-trellis. Both are hose-clean polypropylene — neither machine-washes like the Ruggable Josephine Sunrise. The Loloi II Easton ESN-06 in the same 7'-10"x10' footprint runs roughly 2-3x the Beach House's price.
