This is a heavy duty plastic - I've had it for a couple of years and it's still holding up great! It is outside in the weather 24/7 and doing well.

It's definitely plastic. However, it's very flexible and can easily be mistaken for rubber.

plastic. But it is very heavy-duty and has lived beyond my 5 year old playing with it.

It appears to be metal, but with plastic on the front edge. Its somewhat hard to tell for sure however.

I was so disappointed so I threw it away. But to the best of my knowledge it was plastic. I don't recall any metal anywhere.

It is not plastic, it is metal. But I would not recommend it anyway. The metal main body cracked on me. I do not know why - I did not overload it at all. I just noticed once that there was a crack there. It is still usable, but I will buy another.

Metal now. It was previously plastic, but they redesigned it. I bought the new (metal triggered) unit about a week ago. I recommend it without reservation.

Its plastic and metal. Mine did not survive indoor use even, so I would not recommend it for outdoor use.. Or not recommend it at all.

It's probably aluminum but it is definitely not plastic. It is some type of metal for sure.

It is metal but I don't know if it's iron. It is not plastic. It is sturdy though.

Plastic; the only metal was the hose connections. In my opinion it was advertised as being aluminum and actually came in a box labeled as aluminum. Consequently, it was not worth what I paid for it.

I believe that it is plastic . Have used it for over a year and it works fine.

Its plastic not metal. Not very well made as they say. I should have read all the answers.

Honestly, I can't tell. It doesn't look like plastic though. We've enjoyed it, it is very nice.

It is plastic. I wasn't expecting much out of it, but I've been pleasantly surprised.

It is not metal. I think it is a little stronger than plastic though. I love it and have had no issues with it!

it is plastic, but the base frame and the lift mechanism is metal. The inside trim is also plastic.
