Hi there, does it rust after heavy rains?

I am in Florida where it rains a LOT. The metal itself does not rust. What does rust is the bolts that connects the pieces. You could live with that or get bolts that wouldn't rust. We love this fire pit.

We dug ours into the ground, to make a safer, pernanate fire pit, we use a hose to drown out the fires whenwe are done with our fires. Our average camp fire lasts 6 to 8 hours and we have at least one a week and asmany as 3 or 4 a week. Our Cobra Co evening Sky camp fire ring is almost 3 years old and has no rust issuesas of this date. If this one ever wear out, we'll buy another one right away !!

After a about 7 months outside (including a VERY hard winter) we do have a little surface rust. We found setting it up on about 4 bricks not only keeps it up off the ground but helps the fire to "breathe". We THOROUGHLY enjoy it and would purchase another one without hesitation.

Mine has not rusted at all and we left it out all through the winter even. I've been really happy with it.

The fire rings are covered in a black matte powder-coat finish for rust resistance.

It doesn't rust, but the color/shine did fade a bit. I have had mine for over a year

No, it does not rust because it is made of stainless steel. I bought it last summer and only used it 2 times, but it seems to work just fine. :)

I believe it is. I have had mine for about 6 months. It has been out in the rain a few times and has no visible rust at this point.

This has been outside ever since I purchased it last August (lots of rain since then), and there is no sign of rust.

I have one of these on my front gate. It has been getting rained on in the Seattle area for almost 15 years, and there is no rust so far. Still works like a charm.

I have had mine for 2 years & leave it out through Chicago winters. No rust yet.

Well it is metal so I do think if outside it might rust. I guess if humidity is not an issue and you keep relatively dry then okay.

I've not had any issues of rust so far. We use it in salt water area and it's held up fine. A quick rinse after each use seems to do the trick.

Yes it rusts, as it is steel. You could say over time it develops a patina. I wipe mine down with a damp cloth, then wipe dry cloth and oil lightly with vegetable oil.

Well, it looks rusty to begin with, so it would be tough to tell. Mines still doing fine. It sits outside all year on the Olympic Peninsula. I did drill a small hole in the bottom so that the rain could drain.

yes, Don't let that deter your purchase. Being in a wet environment it will not rust or corrode.

I'm not sure but mine hadn't and it's in my toolbox in back of my car.it sometimes get wet but so far no rust.

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

Actually it's only been in a couple of rains but I don't see any rust yet. My thoughts are that bike baskets are pretty much rust resistant. BTW, I've had mine for a year or so (stored in unheated garage in winter too) and it's as shiny as new.

Yes very much so...I am in Florida so it rains everyday during the summer. The unit is powder coated and so far there has been no rust or corrosion at all. I am using two of them as plant tables for my herbs and they get watered every day. Good buy for the money.

It isn't rusting and mine is outside day and night. I wipe it off maybe once a week from leaves and all. Still looks new.
