Will this rust if left outside over the years? The cover that comes with it has finger holes and will let water in. Trying to avoid ugly vinyl cover.

We left ours up outside for a month or so outside and it did not rust or get damaged. It seems pretty sturdy as long as you keep it staked into the ground..If you get alot of wind you may want to bring it in also.

Absolutely none and my service for 16 is in daily use. I'm sure I have over exposed it to water on occassion -- but no rust. Love it.

No, it does not. But the solution to that is to purchase the cover that fits it. I have read other's comments about it quickly rusting. I've had mine for over a year and it set out all summer. I keep the cover on it when it's not in use and I don't have a spec of rust on it anywhere... and yes I still love this firepit!!

Ours has not but in the winter we put a cover on it. It does sit in the rain during rainy days and after two years no rust anywhere

I would think it would not rust since it is plastic!!! Mine is outside and doing fine.

Have had it for over a year and no rust - I have a cover for it and put sand in the bottom.

I have not seen any rust yet and I purchased it in December 2013. So far no issues, but the suction on the bottom is not working well, but it is not needed.

It hasn't rusted yet. However, we almost always have it covered and we live in California where it never rains any more.

I'm not sure, maybe if we let it sit around all day every day full of water, it might get some rust. But we empty the remaining water after we have tea or coffee. Like any product, the way you take care of it does matter. We still like this product.

It is all aluminum so it want rust. I have left ours outside many a night by accident and it is still like new. It is easy to move so I try to remember to bring it in. Even though it is built extremely well and it aluminum I would still recommend bringing it in when not in use. It only makes common sense that less anything is out in the elements the longer it will last.

Yes. I kept it outside without a cover for the first week and without any rain (just morning dew) it started to rust. If you purchase it, I would buy a cover.

I've had it for a year on a covered, outdoor, back porch and have no rust. It can get wet or snowy if it is blowing hard enough.

I keep mine under an overhang on our front deck. I did buy the plastic cover and it was useless. I have had it for a year and it has a few spot where it has pitted but if I took a little bit of metal polish to it, I'm sure it would look like new again.

Well, you don't see the rust... I have had mine several years and been very happy with it. It was left outside in the summer months so the dogs always had a place to lay when they were outside. It showed no signs of rust. Then I went to replace the cover this year and the threads of the screws are all rusted in place. Try as I might, I cannot get them out and think I will have to buy a new one. So I would recommend putting some anti-seize on the screws to prevent rust.
