Duck Brand Indoor/Outdoor Carpet Tape, 1.88-Inch x 75 Feet, Single Roll, White (442062)

I used this on the back of some of my old rugs that the backing had washed off. I attached the tape to the non-skid mats and then attached that to the actual rug. Wow this is the strongest double sided tape I have ever used. Even with some of the junk still on the back of the rug (I cleaned the back as best I could) this tape stuck. Now my rugs are not sliding all over and the cats are bored =) It can be tricky to remove the backing to the tape but most of the time it was relatively easy. All I know is the rugs and the non-skid mats have not come apart yet. And even if they do it is easy to do it again!

I have found a number of uses for this tape and use quite a lot of it. From putting strips of it on aluminum foil to train my cat to stay off tables and countertops to holding carpet and rugs to the floor or other carpet to putting it on the bottom of something that I want to stay in one place, this stuff works. One could even go so far as to say I am "stuck" on it. That is one thing to keep in mind when using it; it sticks to your hands, to itself, or to anything it touches very easily, so a bit of care is needed in applying it.

We have approximately a 1000 square foot deck in our high-rise city condo. I've furnished the deck by using outdoor rugs and dividing it into different "living" spaces. The winds get pretty strong here, so after furnishing the deck, we realized we were going to have to secure the rugs somehow. I did a bit of research and chose this Duck Brand outdoor carpet tape. The tape works great. It is relatively easy to put down and, once installed, holds the rugs really well. You apply it to the rug, then peel off a protective skin so you can stick the rug to the flooring surface. It manages to do its job regardless of weather (we have 4 seasons). My only complaint (and hence the 4 stars) is it only lasted about a year and now has to be replaced. I suspect we got this result because we are applying it to 2 foot by 2 foot cement pavers with about a 1/4 - 1/2 inch gap between each tile. I presume the cracks allow more moisture, dirt, dust etc. to get under the tape, hence causing it to eventually loose it's adhesion. My suspicion is this would happen regardless of the brand outdoor carpet tape we use. If you have a solid outdoor surface, you will like get a 5-star result. The Duck Brand worked so well, that we're buying the same product again.

Put this on my outside patio deck rug & works great Glad i bought this Brand!

I purchased this to use in my rugs on the covered back porch. One rug stayed in place during a heavy rain and high wind storm but the other rug one side came up. I put another strip down and so far so good

Didn't stay

Used this tape to hold down my outdoor carpet around my pool. (Carpet to concrete) Did not think it would work well. Especially in the rain. I was wrong. It has rained several times now and it's still holding well. Put it down when sunny and dry. Walk on it. Peel it. Put carpet down. Walk on it. Done.

Tape works great for outdoor rug
