You are going to find the cost of this kind of carpet to be much less than indoor carpet. Permanent application through gluing the carpet to the concrete is also a possibility.
Applications:
As with everything, a specific carpet has it specific application. This kind of carpet works best on a hard flat surface. Concrete, Cement, Wood are all surfaces that will match well with the carpet. Laying the carpet on dirt or an uneven surface could result in injury to the user from slips and falls.
Materials:

Style:
Just because a carpet is made for outdoors does not mean it has to look cheap or less than presentable. There are a number of fabrics styles and designs to fit any outdoor/indoor need. If you take a look at the slide show above, all carpets shown are indoor/outdoor grade. Even an oriental look can be brought into your garden or deck with one of the designs above. In the old days I remember my grandma having a little outdoor carpet on her front porch steps. It was a rubber material that looked like it could withstand the hottest summer. We lived in California, so there was not much of a winter. Yet the sun would beat down on this little black colored carpet and it never faded or warped. It is good to see that style, size and variety are now available to us. The choices are endless.
