Use the AmeriHome Rubber Scrollwork Step Mats under potted plants to protect the finish of the deck. Also great in the garden as temporary stepping to stones to help keep the mud and grass off your shoes and out of your house. The scrollwork design is as beautiful as it is functional. The open design lets dirt, rain, and snow pass right through, and keeps the surface clear. When needed the small Mats are easy to clean, just spray off with the hose, or scrub with mild soap.
