Feels like aluminum. I had mine out all winter long and we had a lot of snow and rain in the northeast. Not a spec of rust on it!

I am not sure. I live in New England and it has survived two winters and a rainy spring- no signs of rust. The birds really love it. I would recommend it. I fill it about every week. I use a seed mix of sunflower seeds. I do not have a problem filling it. I actually have two because I like it so much. One came damaged- the perch was bent- I removed it and the birds do not care. It is also very easy to clean.

I'm not sure of the metal, mine has not rusted in the 6 months I've used it although filling it up is awful! The jar has to be turned upside down which causes all the food left in the metal to go everywhere.. It is cute but I would recommend looking elsewhere!

I am not 100% certain. I got this but it did not last long as family scoffed it. I am pretty sure it was metal.

Good question. I don't know because I don't know what kind of metal is used. The only metal that would resist rust would be stainless steel.

It is a very heavycast metal.It will not rust or ever wear out or break.I have purchased 4 of these as they are used by every family member.Plus,you can dissemble in 2 pieces to clean easier.

Dear friend, the material of this item is stainless steel. And pls don't worry. It won't become rusty. Thank you!

not sure, I was looking at the material it was made of aluminum which is not suppose to rust, crossing my fingers and keeping the things that came in the box with it till a good amount of time, then will throw out.

It looks and feels like stainless steel. I can't say for sure that it is not made of some type of alloy. I confess I am not a expert in metals. Why don't you ask the seller? But for the price you pay, it is a bargain.

I have only had it for a short time, but so far no. It's stainless steel so it shouldn't rust.

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.

It is made from some type of metal, not sure what kind. But yes it can get rust, I have had that happen but it does come off with sos pads. I live near salt water and everything rust so i guess I do not think that much about the rust and chalk it up to living by the ocean. The tips perform well and I have had no issues with placing them in the dishwasher.

I don't know, it seems to be some kind of metal that doesn't rust, possibly stainless steel. I am very happy with my colanders and use them all the time..

I explicitly asked Zenith if it was made entirely of stainless steel, inside and out. They told me it is made of stainless steel, not a stainless steel coating. Judging by the other answers below, looks like no one's got any rust to speak of. Mine came with a major scrape on it, so the dark grey rougher metal is exposed. I will see if any rust appears in a few months.

Hi Liz I don't know BUT I've lived on the Carribean coast for the past 38 years and I have learned through painful experience that if anything metal is not first class it wil rust in a few weeks and I've had this for about a year now and it's in perfect condition. :0)

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.

Mine has been hanging outside for months and shows no sign of rust. Can't tell you where it was made however.
