Will this wire rust?

Yes, even high carbon steel will rust in the right conditions. However, I have been using it in a cheese slicer, including dishwasher cleaning, and have not had any rust form.

Yes. It must certainly can. I have kept my application clean and dry and have had no issues. I will apply a light coat of oil if I need to store for any length of time in the garage or shed.

I believe the trolley is brass, not iron, so it will likely not "rust", but might get some copper/brass corrosion eventually. However, keep in mind that it is meant for plants, and will therefore come in contact with water. If you're planning to use it outside (I assume for the summer), wipe it down with an oily rag and spray the casters and their posts (which can rust!) with some WD-40 before using it... and again at the end of the season when you bring it back indoors. It should last for years with this simple care... I hope this is helpful.

Mine has not rusted in any way and I have used it almost daily for several months. I can't guarantee that it won't rust but mine has not.

I have had no problems with rusting, but as any metal exposed to the weather you should treat it as you do your weapon.

So far no rust on mine. There is a decent coat of flat black paint on the fence.

I have had no problem with rusting, just be sure to care for it properly after each use.

No. For that, there are products such as naval jelly and others that convert the rust to a stable material. The threads themselves can be wirebrushed and some grease applied.

Might be for a little while. The wire connector in the back would probably corrode pretty fast.

I live in indy and I've had it for 3 month or so. o have seen any rust yet. And its rained a lot so I would say no. plus I've got a friend who's got the same one and he's had it 2 years. his also has no rust.

Mine stays outside and is holding up well. But only have had it for 6 mo. No corrosion or rust. I believe it comes with a 10 year guarantee against that.

Stainless steel will not rust unless it some how gets impregnated by a carbon steel. So unless some how you scratch it with a cheaper metal then it will never rust.

It should not rust. I have had two of these in my freezer for a year and both are in perfect shape. I am ordering two more for the remaining freezer shelves.

I haven't seen any rust issues so far. Buying better hardware certainly won't hurt anything, but I would recommend using some type of thread lubricant to protect the exposed threads as you would in any other outdoor application.

I have never had any problem with rust - stainless steel should not rust under normal use.

Sorry, no. Ours is used outside of the shower. I am never surprised when this type of article does rust tho. It's only coated wire and never does as well at the corner joins as in the middle of the wire lengths. Wondering if it's an enamel type coating if a light coating of car wax occasionally might help, as may be suggested by washer/dryer and wheelchair manuals.

The coating is plastic, and is not biodegradable. It will discolor; it may stiffen, but I don't expect it to corrode or erode. What's important is that the copper is not exposed to the elements; if you are terminating the wires outdoors, make sure you don't expose too much copper, and be sure to use outdoor-quality equipment. (I have this wire going through a hole in my basement wall above my sliding door and out to Bose outdoor speakers, below my deck. Works fine so far."

No, it will not rust. We have been using ours for several months and it is just as bright and shiny as the day we bought it. The stainless steel is of top quality.
