Not an expert......OLEFIN carpet (without padding) ......75 cents per square foot at Lowes.........hire a carpet installer to pick up at Lowes and install on your lanai..( generally costs ONE picture of Benjamin Franklin and ONE picture of U.S. Grant)... YOU give the installer the LOWES 'WILL CALL' ticket.. or... meet them at Lowes. .......they will use removeable glue for an additional TWO pictures of Andrew Jackson. ( based on the average 240 sq.ft. lanai) This carpet is TOUGH...( I have some on my garage floor). You can even pressure wash OLEFIN if you so desire...even spill bleach on it...NO problem....AND....IF every 2 years "LA REINA" needs to CHANGE the color scheme on the lanai, this carpet is EASILY changed out to the new "bi-annual" color choice.... INFO..... 'La Reina' is Spanish for 'The Queen' ...(that's why I call my darling wife 'La Reina').
