Anyone elses buckles start to rust within a few weeks of being outdoors?

Mine were difficult to use, bent easily, then rusted. Replaced them with tie downs from Home Depot. The only true value of this set is the anchors themselves.

They didn't start that quickly, but any type of metal when exposed to the elements will do what is natural and succumb. The bigger issue with trampolines is when the insurance company drops by and decides to stop covering your house because of the trampoline. No matter the safety devices in place. Very sad...

I bring mine in during the winter months. It was outside for 1 summer and now has a different appearance than when I first bought it. Its more of a dirty rust now. Can't imagine what a winter would do to it. I live in WI. and we have some pretty harsh winters. I guess it's your call!

I haven't had them very long but they have not shown signs of rust. Maybe some water spots though lol

Any 'stainless' steel will rust, it just stains/rusts *less* than regular steel. So if you don't clean your gear after use or store it in a damp place, it will eventually rust.

I've had it for about 6 mos. I run them in the DW and have had no problems with rust spots or stains.

Lol I've only used this one a few times at this point, I forget I have it most of the time. But no rust yet :D

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!

No, I use my can opener about once a week and have had it for awhile and have no issues with rust.

Mine haven't rusted but I hate how cold they get and how hot they get with cold and hot liquid. Makes them almost unusable. Wouldn't buy them again.

I've left it outside a couple of nights, and it's not showing any sign of rusting, but I haven't owned it long enough for it to rust. It's a great chair, and it's difficult for me to find a chair that's comfortable because I'm 355 pounds. So I take good care of it.

I've encountered no rust problems as yet. I've had mine for several months and it's been under the patio the entire time.

I have them on a trailer in Montgomery, AL. They are holding up fine, but water does get into the bolt area and has created some rust. We'll see how long they last...I've had them about 1 year now.

No. Not at all. Also the metal buckles will rust from the rain making it impossible to loosen the straps and move for mowing. If you don't turn those ground anchors well below the grass surface, you can easily damage your mower. I only put these on because my insurance company required them. Hope this was helpful.

No. I've only had it for a few months, but I seriously doubt that it would rust.

I got my hammock just this summer, so obviously no rust yet. I have to say I have been surprisingly pleased with the hammock, as it works surprisingly well for one of the lower priced ones. I returned the first one we purchased as it was lousy.

So it is said. Having owned them for a few months now I have noticed that it is rusting a bit

Well, you don't see the rust... I have had mine several years and been very happy with it. It was left outside in the summer months so the dogs always had a place to lay when they were outside. It showed no signs of rust. Then I went to replace the cover this year and the threads of the screws are all rusted in place. Try as I might, I cannot get them out and think I will have to buy a new one. So I would recommend putting some anti-seize on the screws to prevent rust.
