APPLICATION / INSTALLATION DETAILS
Gluing carpet down to wood outdoors is almost asking for trouble as the carpet will definitely hold a lot of moisture and can cause the wood to rot prematurely.
If you must put outdoor carpet on a wooden surface, make sure that it is pressure treated wood or pressure treated plywood (to prevent rot), that it has positive drainage and that it is thoroughly ventilated below.

With either wood or concrete you may want to consider self draining carpet or carpet tiles, usually used on large boats, which install with risers under the carpet to allow everything to dry quickly. They stay nicer longer.
