RUG RESCUE
1 Choose the fabric of your rug wisely. For turnout rugs that are going to be subjected to some tough use, buy a rug that’s made from a high denier material. The higher the denier, the tougher and heavier the fabric. For example, 1,200 denier and above is very strong, while 600 denier won’t be as robust. It may cost more for a higher denier rug, but it should last longer.
Ripstop fabric and ballistic nylon are two other features to look out for. Both fabrics are more resistant to tears and, if they do get ripped, the rips don’t tend to spread.
