Because it is treated for sun, chemical and weather exposure it is often used on decks, patios, play grounds and golf courses. Usually it is moisture, stain and fade resistant.
Before you choose which type of grass outdoor carpeting you want make sure you know what it will be used for. If it will be exposed to the sun, moisture or chemicals then it should have a marine backing, without the backing you will have a problem with mold. If it is for pool sides it should be protected from fading and chemicals. If the area has a lot of activity then the carpet needs to be thicker.
When you are choosing between the two remember that grass outdoor carpeting is chemical treated so it can be used on golf courses, decks patios. Outdoor carpet tiles are not treated and so they would serve you better in protected areas.
