I am looking for something to put on my patio. Will it absorb water and mildew??

I only use mine indoors beneath my treadmill, so I cannot honestly answer that question. Sorry.

I would like to do the same thing for my patio. I need your feedback about your experience.

Yes! Mine has been outside on the patio for almost a year of southeastern PA weather and it's still bright red, no mildew, no visible wear.

As long as it is pulled tightly, it keeps my patio dry. Mine has been up through many showers and the patio underneath had stayed fairly dry. Of course, it does get wet around the edges when the wind blows the rain under. Also, you need to be sure to have it tilted slightly to let the rain run off.

It should be protected from water and weathering elements. I have mine underneath my house. The first one I had was ruined when a water pipe burst and got it wet. I know someone else who has it on their porch.

There is no protection for the wall unless you put something. The water will drain straight through the fabric unless you provide some way to stop it. I think it might be ok outside but didn't work well for me indoors. Could also be good for small succulents.

I use it as the outside curtain for my shower and have an added liner for the inside, but so far no mildew on mine! My only problem is the rings are already rusted after 6 months

It will not clean mildew. Great for protecting your hot tub cover. It is recommended for hot tub covers. Keeps them for drying out & fading.

I don't think so I could see water damaging it. I put mine on my back porch.

There is about a half inch to three quarters of an inch thickness. The holes are about an inch each. No it does no absorb water. I use it in a portion of a garage where water collects so one does not get their shoes wet.

Well my furniture is under a patio but from the material that the cushions are made of, it should be fine in the rain. Water seems to repel off pretty well

Well, to be honest I don't know. I have it under my deck and it is outside. It does get damp and sometimes a little wet, I've had no problem thus far. It works great.

No,but you could use this on your patio for an occassion just don't let it get wet or leave it out overnight.

I would! I've had mine for about a year and it gets wet every day. It is starting to show mildew. If yours will be getting wet every day, sealing it would be a good idea. It's a good product but I didn't think bamboo would mildew for some reason.

I'm not an expert on it but I think cypress just resist rot much better the most. I put Thompson sealer on mine and it soaked it right up. So it will absorb water.

I'd say "YES" because we have used ours for about 3 months now and no signs of mildew thus far!

Yep, it should be just fine outside. Very easy to rinse off with water hose too. Just hang to dry.
