Is this bracket aluminum? Will it withstand exterior use?

I believe that it is powder coated which gives it a very durable finish. Although I used it inside if a camping van, I would not hesitate to use it outdoors

I'm sorry I don't know the answer. I would think they could be but eventually they will rust since they are metal. You could probably clear coat them with a outdoor such as krylon. They are really great brackets. I love them. They were the only size I could find for my project and were well worth it.

This is a aluminum enclosure. You must use a camera that does not come with a mounting bracket. As far as the durability of this enclosure, I have had one mounted outside for two years and it is in very good condition with no indication of wear. I bought two more and use them in direct sunlight here in the Los Angeles area. The price is almost half of what is charged at local security camera shops.

Mine sits out in sun on our deck in Honolulu for 4 months and has worked very well! When I put it together I had to attach bolts thru the frame and it was definitely metal, I think it is thin steel - could be aluminum - know it is not plastic?

Ours is going to be kept outside. The only concern I will have is the sun damage to the net material. The frame is aluminum so I am not worried about rust.

Completely easy to take on and off this bracket! Product is aluminum so won't rust but may need cleaning from time to time.

Mine has been mounted under my porch awning for about a year now. No problems

Yes, it is indoor/outdoor. I have one mounted outside and it has held up just fine. I did note some condensation in the led ring but it didn't cause any harm. I do not have it in direct sunlight so I don't know if the plastic will fade or not.

We purchased the following for support and it works great. Also has padding so it doesn't damage exterior. http://www.amazon.com/Window-Support-Heavy-Conditioner-Bracket/dp/B000274SEU/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1402689162&sr=8-2&keywords=air+conditioner+arm

Where do you live? Mine has always been inside. It has thick clear acrylic shelves. I don't know if they would cloud up if they were outside. The hanging apparatus is made of a finely wrapped and very strong wire. I can't tell if it is aluminum or a wire that would oxidize in outside air which contains different pollutants. They are wonderfully strong and well made units. I will have my husband answer your questions when he gets home as he is in quality control and has an eye for problems. later: My husband said, check with the manufacture.

Seems too heavy to me to be aluminum, and too bright and shiny to be a common steel..So I put a magnet against it and it did attract. I'd therefore guess it is a corrosion-resistant or plated steel. I couldn't even drill two holes in the trailer bracket (to match my trailer holes) with my electric drill, it was so hard. But my neighbor, who is is machinist, and probably has a drill press, got it done.

Yes it is aluminum and works well to keep our American flag from tangling during windy conditions. Randall E. in Coeur d'Alene ID

I would not consider it to be a product that is made to withstand the outdoor elements long-term. It's primary purpose is for indoor use.

aluminum I believe, its pretty light weight. I use it to hold up a 28" beauty dish WITH a grid..and that thing is pretty heavy. it also holds a 60" octabox no problem. I wouldn't worry about it breaking or bending at all. it also holds these modifiers in heavy wind without a hitch.

Yes it can be mounted outside. I have had 2 of them outside for almost 6 years

It has holes on bracket for 3 or 4 inch tongue you can see this in the pic of it, and it is aluminum and has not started to oxidize on me yet, but I do keep in a garage ...works well

NO! It is not strong enough to withstand weather. It is only for internal (inside buildings, houses, etc) use not for outdoor use.
