Are the rods aluminum or steel? It's not clear from the picture or the previous answers...

I'm not sure the kit says specifically, but based on the weight and malleability I'd assume they are aluminum.

I believe they are aluminum vs. stainless. Not real sturdy, but do the job.

I assumed they were stainless steel, but I'm no expert in metals. It could be aluminum. Sorry I couldn't be of more help!

rod is metal, ends are plastic. Unsure about rust issue-may be alright if no direct contact with water. I used in granddaughter's nursery-great for that-it is on the smaller size.

They are steel. On an entirely different note, this is an inferior product and the nylon or plastic strings broke too soon!

They are made of a heavy metal. Not sure what kind of metal. They are very nice handles and would recommend them to anyone.

They are aluminum just like the rest of the frame held together with plastic interlocking clasps. I have a single spring mattress on them and so far it has been a comfortable sleep.

They don't seem to be aluminum, which would be a poor choice of material for gears that have to apply a good deal of force. I would guess they are steel. However, you may want to contact Fiskars direct if you are doubtful.

They are made of metal. We are very happy with ours they are sturdy and look very nice. In fact I am ordering more.

The Parts with "L" shape are made of Metal, not sure what metal but they look hard and resistant.The 2 rods are some sort metal alloy, looks like metal and plastic, they dont look very resistant but I think if you are carefull they can do the job.to mount them, im not sure I just used standing on a table, but maybe if you have some clamps or any other mechanism you can do it.you get exactly what you see in the pictureHope that helps

They are NOT stainless steel( too costly and hard to bend) I believe they are either galvanized or possibly aluminum ( I can check tomorrow- dark outside tomorrow)

I know it's not steel nor plastic. It is probably some thick kind of aluminum. It is sturdy, whatever it is. You would be satisfied with it. Hope this helps.

I believe that it's fiberglass. I bought it for my 11 year old who loves it. It's a great rod for the price. Nothing fancy...

The handle and the rod are stainless. The tube, and the top and bottom rings are aluminum. The foot of the jack and the bracket at the top that the lever attaches to is plastic. Both are pretty sturdy.

They are metal. Don't get them. You have tp build each one yourself and its kind of a pain.

These are stainless steel. Originally I purchased aluminum and had to discard them.

Steel. I checked with a magnet - VERY strong attraction, therefore it is definitely not aluminum. (Whoever answers aluminum is likely judging by the weight. It's not as heavy as one might expect.)
