I wish to use this outside. How rust-resistant is it?

it has been pretty rust-resistant.....we took it camping a few times and have left it out in the weather...no rust as of yet...

apparently, we had it outside from July till November and it showed not signs of rust. It received sprinkler water daily

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

I don't use mine outdoors, but it should be OK, except in sub-freezing temperatures I'd be concerned the plastic could crack. There's nothing to rust, so that's not a concern.

I probably wouldn't try it outside. Fear of possible rusting. Go for some of the PVC versions, or plastic.

Not an expert, but looking at it, it might resist rust for a time, but i think it would eventually rust. I think you need one of those solid core industrial types that could be painted over once signs of rust are noted. Sorry that's my best answer.

Hummm, I don't think it will survive the rust! Maybe if you spray a coat of rust proofing!

Although it's not a cheap product, I think it may rust outdoors since it is metal.

I think it will be fine outside, there is nothing that can rust. I have had my ramp for over a year and I use it everyday with no issues. My St. Bernard loves it.

If this is going to be by an ocean area, I'd say no to the rust proof. We've had ours for about a year now and it's not rusty, but again we are not near the coast.

It is all aluminum so it want rust. I have left ours outside many a night by accident and it is still like new. It is easy to move so I try to remember to bring it in. Even though it is built extremely well and it aluminum I would still recommend bringing it in when not in use. It only makes common sense that less anything is out in the elements the longer it will last.

Aluminum and plastic so it probably won't rust. But I haven't done this so I can't cite personal experience.

I'm sure about being rust proof but it has a black metal finish and i have it outdoors here in Arizona. It is under my eaves. I just love it. It is nice and sturdy, was easy to put together. I would definitely buy it again

I would not - it looks like it would rust easily if it is exposed to rain or a high amount of moisture.

It won't rust, but if you leave it wet in your sink, you'll get a few spots that will polish right out. I would call it stain-resistant.

Hello,We have checked with the manufacturer and they do not recommend having this outdoors unless they are covered. They may rust if they get wet. If you have some sort of patio covering, where they are under the shade constantly, then it may be alright outdoors. We do apologize we were unable to give you a specific answer. If you need anything else, please let us know.Thank you.

I've had it for a year on a covered, outdoor, back porch and have no rust. It can get wet or snowy if it is blowing hard enough.

Yes, for the most part. The legs might rust after long term outdoor use, but should be fine for occasional weather exposure.

i've been using mine for over a year in a very humid environment and have not had any rust issues.
