Are recycled premium vinyl rugs durable enough to be used in an outdoor area?

This depends on the weather in your area. Even the highest-quality vinyl rugs can't deal with extreme temperatures. If temperatures outside can drop to below 40 degrees Fahrenheit, the flooring will shrink or wrap, which leads to wrinkles. If the temperature can go higher than 80 degrees Fahrenheit, the flooring will expand beyond its capacity and swell. Although vinyl flooring is quite durable, you should keep your environment in mind.
