A 5×7 rug suits a bistro set, a pair of lounge chairs or a small porch seating area. It is small enough to lift and hose off easily, so care and backing matter as much as looks.
We compared 5×7 rugs sold for outdoor use on material, backing and care, and checked each listing’s stated size. For larger sizes, see Best Outdoor Rugs, or browse the Outdoor Rugs category.

How to Choose a 5×7 Outdoor Rug
Where a 5×7 Fits
A 5×7 works under a bistro table and two chairs, in front of a loveseat, or on a porch. For a full dining set it is usually too small.
Backing
Rugs without backing, like the Nourison and Luul Home, can slide on smooth surfaces. Zeeinx adds a TPR backing. An outdoor rug pad is the other option.
Material
Polypropylene and polyester rugs look woven. Plastic straw and recycled plastic mats are thinner and drain water fast.
Care
Small rugs are easy to lift and hose off. Machine wash only when the maker says so, and air-dry flat.
Wind, Sun and Slips
Light rugs can lift in wind; add a pad or weight, or bring them in before storms. Dark rugs can get warm in direct sun. Keep edges flat so no one trips, especially at a door.
How We Evaluate 5×7 Outdoor Rugs
For this guide we compared listings on size, material, construction, backing and the maker's care instructions, and checked each listing's stated dimensions against its title. We read each maker's specifications and care notes, and looked at each listing's rating count and star spread where our product data had one. Most listings in this guide had no rating data in our product feed, so ratings did not decide the order. We did not handle or measure these products ourselves, every figure comes from the maker's listing, and we never repeat a weather or durability claim as our own.
Variants of one listing count as a single product, and we would rather list a few strong picks than pad the list. Our full process is on the How We Review page.
FAQ
Is 5×7 the same as 5×8?
No. Many plastic straw rugs are sold as 5×8; check the listed dimensions, since some listings call a 5×8 rug 5×7.
Can a 5×7 rug go under a bistro set?
Usually yes for a small round table and two chairs. Measure the set with chairs pulled out first.
Can I machine wash an outdoor rug?
Only if the maker says so. Zeeinx lists cold, gentle machine washing; most others here are hosed off.
Final Verdict
Nourison's Courtyard 5×7 is our top pick, woven and easy to rinse. Luul Home is the softer pile option, and Zeeinx adds a non-slip backing and machine washing.
Lena Rug offers a striped flat weave, and ARSUK is a thin, low-cost recycled plastic mat.
