Description says it is rust resistant! cant tell if its galvanized coated or not! (must be!) mine set out side 24/7, No rust yet and it rains about everyday where I live. Overtime galvanized items will rust also! My traps work to keep pest out of several grapevines. I have used for several years.

I'm thinking that if it's left out in the rain or snow for long periods of time that it might rust. I'm not sure if it's galvanized or not. I'd suggest you go to the Havahart web-site. They have complete information there pertaining to these traps. Hope that helps!

Mine has been outside in rain/sun (Florida) for a month or so. No sign of rust, at least yet. It worked as expected, just not big/strong enough to keep arrmidillo caged. I would/should have gotten a extra large if I had known. He broke through the "door" 4 times now. I reenforced it with steel rods and plastic ties. We'll see if that holds him!

This trap is constructed of high tensile galvanized steel wire and designed to resist rusting.

it's aluminum so will not rust (as in red iron type rust). It is a bit flimsy but gets the job done with the application I needed it for..

It is made of steel. It may rust if its exposed I would imagine. I will say it had not even crossed my mind. I have used it to hold my bike while I wash it with the hose. I did let it dry in the sun. I've had it for a few months and have used it often. For the money I have made a great buy.

Hi Nick, I have had mine 4 years. It's made of 304 stainless steel which does not rust. Very resilient product

It is heavy gauge steel, but not stainless steel. It will rust if left wet or outdoors. Very big, thick and heavy - this piece weighs about 30 pounds.

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.

I've had mine mounted for a few months now, through several episodes of snow and sleet with de-icer and it has not rusted yet. I'm not sure how long it will stay rust-free, but for how inexpensive it is, very happy with the quality.

I am not sure if the screws are galvanized but so far there is no rusting. It also is relatively steady. I use it to help walk over a 6 inch elevated wall on my terrace that I can't remove, with one ramp on each side. There is a gritty paint layer on the walking surface which helps against slipping. You should be aware that the paint job on these is terrible. The yellow paint on the sides started peeling off soon after I got it and was not painted on properly. The black part was painted over the yellow side rails in spots. It looks like it was painted by someone who didn't give a damn about the quality of the work they were doing. I sent one back due to the black part having waves in it from poorly done brush strokes, and the new one was a little bit better but still not ideal. The reason I kept them was this was the only ramp I could find that was adjustable, relatively inexpensive, that would work for my particular situation. Despite the paint issues, they do work well, but if you order one you may need to send it back if the quality is not up to your standards.

I'm not sure. it is a silver metal, as the picture shows. It did rust very quickly, so I'm guessing it is steel. Not stainless.

It is low carbon steel, so it will rust if you expose it to moisture. It comes with a thin coat of oil that keeps it protected fine, but if you use it you probably should oil it. (decorative: no you don't have to oil it) (Use it in some unspecified manner: yes, oil it.)

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

Yes, it is. I've had it for about 6 months now and no rusting. So far so good.

I believe it is steel. I have 3 of these and the oldest two are a couple years old and show no signs of rust or paint failure.

It appears to be galvanized....I have to store my boat outside and this has not rusted or corroded. It has only been exposed to fresh water.

I believe it is 304 stainless so will not rust. Seems to be the same as what we use in the restauranta as far as stainless steel.

It is galvanized steel so it won't rust. I am very happy with it. I use the jar mainly for sun tea.
