Oh my gosh!! I am SO happy that I purchased this. I bought it for my balcony but was unsure how it would hold up in the weather. I live in Southern California, and the hot summer sun rots so many things I've put out there, but this has withstood the test of time for about a year now. It has been hit with all types of weather and still looks brand new. It was so easy to measure and cut that it was a joy to watch my balcony transform from standard dingy to amazingly fantastic in less than an hour! I installed, cut, and laid it all by myself, and I'm a female well into my 60s. So go for it, ladies, if you want to improve your balcony, patio, or decking!
