I've been using a regular indoor/outdoor carpet (8 X 12) under our patio set. Yes it gets wet on the edge near the outside but so far no mold. I like the feel of the carpet (very thin and made for outdoors - bought at Target) and it makes the area look like more of a normal sitting area IMHO.
Not expensive so maybe once a year or so I'll change it if the mold sets in. It does dry very quickly though.
