Patio mats from wally mart
Are they any good? They seem really thin! Do you have to stake them down on windy days?
Thanks everyone!

I had a mat simila to the one they sell at Walmart. It started breaking down after a few seasons on use. It would blow on the wind.
Now I use an RV awning mat from Prompt Sunscreens. Much better. Does not blow in the wind and wears like iron.

HIGHLY recommend!

We got ours at Walmart two years ago and are still using. We don't stake ours down, but have chairs and coolers on top of them. They wear well for the price.

Never seen the mats there but I did pick up our camping grill from them. We like it better than a Weber. Here's the link to it.

I got my mats from LOWES... They do the job just fine. LOWES had several designs in three different price groups as I recall...

Got my mat from CW.... Seems like it is weatherproof. It does not come with stakes and it is reversible
Plus it's $30 bucks.....

I bought ours 5 years ago from rvawningmats.com. It's still as awesome today as it was then. I hose it off in the driveway when we get home from a trip and fold it up when dry. We don't stake it, but we put the trailer edge under the camper a bit and put the stabilizers down over it. Plus we always have our picnic table under the awning as well, so it's never tried to blow away. Ours is a 9X12, they run $60. One of my best camping investments, right behind the PUGs.

Bought our mat at walmart 2 years ago and its still as good as new. We camp about 10-15 times a season plus we use it in our yard and its still good. We do stake it down, to keep people from tripping on the edges. Highly recommended.

Bought 2 identical mats from Wally World and been very satisfied with them. We do not stake ours down. They are lightweight and refold easily and has velcro strap and handle. We can easily hose them off on a clothesline at home for cleaning and storage.
