What type of metal are they made of? Will they rust?

I don't know for certain. They appear to be stainless steel (I tossed the box long ago.) I used them through the last season with no defects. Will break them out this weekend. Under normal use I don't know why they'd have any problems. If you're sitting on relatively dry ground for a picnic they won't get wet enough to matter.

I believe they're made of aluminum. I have had them for over a year and don't see any rust on them.

They are aluminum and aren't rusting at all. I'm pretty sure aluminum won't rust. I'm not sure about the coastal areas but I do have mine around my pook which is salt water. They are very pretty and heavy pieces. I hope this helps!

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.

I honestly do not know. I gave them to relatives for their garden last year and they were very happy. The cones appeared to be very well built and sturdy. Being metal, they probably will at some point in time rust - but maybe not.

They are not stainless steel material. They are steel with a stainless steel looking finish. They are not rust proof due to the material and they will hold a magnet which indicates the product is not stainless steel as stainless steel will not hold a magnet.

Jwill, I can't say for sure. Mine show no signs of rust, but they are kept inside and dry. At the price I can not imagine that they are made of high quality stainless steel, so my guess is they will rust if left in an environment that would promote rust.

They are made from lightweight metal ... I Love them... Great quality and price.

They are plastic, so they won't rust. But I would not recommend them going directly in the pool. Mine are right beside my pool and get wet every day.

They can rust, but what I've seen is only surface rust that can be cleaned off. I would think with proper cleaning and maintenance it would be less of an issue.

They say they are stainless steel. I've had mine about a year with no rust. I use them alot to trim weeds and grass along the outer border of my garden where the mower won't reach so they are wet alot. Stainless steel will be attracted to a magnet since it is steel.

I'm not sure what they are made of but they do not rust. I can see potential for the fasteners rusting over time perhaps but you don't see them. The number I bought looks great....

They come with aluminum screw downs so they don't rust. They work well, but the bracket that holds them broke on mine after just a couple days. The welds were not good and the bracing isn't strong enough.

They are metal. Be aware, however, they are not easy to install. If you can't solder or weld find someone that will install them for you before purchasing.

The ones I got were metal, they look great, but I did hear some of them are plastic too... I would call them to make sure..

I am not absolutely positive, but from the looks of them I believe they are copper plated steel. Usually solid copper is too soft, so ours would show some wear since they have been used several times, but they look like new.

They are made from metal. I was the lucky one to put the item together. The metal is roughly an eighth of an inch thick. Once together the set up is pretty sturdy.
