DIY Painted Deck Rug

If you wanna spice up a dining area on your deck you might want to place a rug there. Although not many rugs can survive there for long. The best way is to paint a rug there. Here is what you’ll need for such project:

  • Colorful exterior paint
  • Painter’s tape
  • Tape measure
  • Pencil
  • Notepad
  • 2-inch paintbrush
  • Roller
  • Paint pan
  • Pan liner
  • Straightedge


Instructions

  • First of all you need to add two coats of base color to the deck to create the main background of the rug.
  • Once base color is dry to the touch, press painter’s tape directly along outside edge of the painted area.
  • Paint the rug’s edge in other than base color.
  • Once paint is dry to the touch, slowly peel back painter’s tape.
  • Determine dimensions of the border and mark them on the deck. Using marks as a guide, press painter’s tape along outside edge.
  • Paint the edge of the rug again to cover all voids.
  • Once paint is dry to the touch, slowly peel back painter’s tape. Give deck at least 24 hours to cure before walking on it.
