I see that these are rust-resistant. I'm sorry, I'm not that knowledgeable on metals and what not - does that mean its galvanized, like the other one?

I don't know what metal they are made of but, I bought them over a year ago, we have them in a garage where the humidity level is very high and we could no longer use traditional particle board peg boards. So far no rust and we like the item.

The legs (galvanized metal ) do / can develop surface rust, but it has never effected their performance and they have never decayed to the point of non-function due to rust. These sorts of devices do require maintenance, and like anything that your safety depends on, must be checked each time you use them. I have had some of these for over 15 years and they still work, even after being stored outside uncovered.

I'm not sure. Mine is outside and we've had a lot of rain.....so far no rust.

They are made of some sort of metal and do not seem to rust. They have only been up about 4 months, so time will tell.

I am sorry I don't know. I do know they rust you have to be very careful of them.

They are metal and they are not supposed to rust. You could get rust where the screws are but it would not show. Linda

Interesting. I contacted the manufacturer directly and they state that it should be genuine stainless steel, which of course would never rust. Their answer to the rust comments was that it was more likely mineral build-up confused as rust. I think most thinking adults, however, know the difference. Anyway, finding anything of quality at any price is harder and harder these days.

I assumed they were stainless steel, but I'm no expert in metals. It could be aluminum. Sorry I couldn't be of more help!

Sorry not sure of gauge & I see other questions have been answered. Mine have not rusted but I have not abused mine yet

Not an expert, but looking at it, it might resist rust for a time, but i think it would eventually rust. I think you need one of those solid core industrial types that could be painted over once signs of rust are noted. Sorry that's my best answer.

I have two of these lights. I believe they are painted, but it is the same color as galvanized. The color is solid. Most galvanized has large crystal type of color variations. I have had these lights up outside my garage doors for two years. 90% of them look good. There is a spot at the top of them which is starting to rust. The light outlets are porcelain, high quality considering the price of the unit.

Mine rusted. I had bought others, but, of course, can't find them again! I wouldn't waste my money on these.

Don't know. The metal parts look like they are powder coated but any metal will rust if left out in the elements long enough.

I don't know what the numbers mean but, I've had mine for a while and I use it all the time. It has not rusted. I hope that helps.

It looks like steel to me. I seem to remember something on the tag about rust-proofing, too.

I have no idea what kind of metal it is, but I believe it is stainless steel. It shouldn't rust.

Have run these through countless washes, and never had any issues with rust. Hope this helps :)
