What about outdoor use? Any problems with rust or corrosion from rain, snow, etc?

I bought this for a tire swing for my grandchildren and have not put it up yet

If it's a covered balcony I would say yes but if it will be subject to rain and snow the only problem would be the pads getting soaked. All the parts are powder coated so rust will not be an issue hope that helps but. I keep mine indoors

It's plastic, so it won't rust. It would be fine for outdoors if not extreme weather. It holds a lot of water so it would need to be kept where the temperature of the water can remain consistent. I hope that helps.

I bought one of these 4 years ago. I move it outside for the warm months (May-Oct) and bring it in for the winter. I live in Washington, DC, so it has been out in the rain and sun. Mine has not rusted. I love it!

I have not had any issues at all and they have sat outside since I installed them last spring. One is even cracked from me hitting it with a log and it works fine even in rain and snow.

I have had mine for more than a year, use it at least once daily, and have never had any problems with rust.

Yes very much so...I am in Florida so it rains everyday during the summer. The unit is powder coated and so far there has been no rust or corrosion at all. I am using two of them as plant tables for my herbs and they get watered every day. Good buy for the money.

Absolutely none and my service for 16 is in daily use. I'm sure I have over exposed it to water on occassion -- but no rust. Love it.

I left mine out all year.......rain and tons of snow.........and not a bit of rust. If paint ever chips, I'm sure that will rust, so would have to touch up the paint before the next winter.

They can be used outside. They might start to rust over time, but you can hit them with some spray paint if that happens.

I had it outside for the summer through the fall and it endured a number of rainstorms. I haven't tried keeping it out in the winter, but I think it would do fairly well. The metal is strong and has a good powder coating on it, though I wouldn't press my luck if it was going to come in contact with salt over the winter. Regardless, it's easy enough to disassemble and store in a garage or basement.

I live in coastal area also. I've had the item on the exterior of my house for almost a year now. No rust yet.

I had it on through the winter, the welds and the stainless steel held up with out any rust. I drove through alot of snow and salt that winter and it held up.

I have had no problems with rusting, but as any metal exposed to the weather you should treat it as you do your weapon.

I've been using mine outside since September 2013. I use it to keep a wood fence gate locked. I have not unlocked it once or removed it since that time. I live in Minnesota so it has been exposed to all the elements. There is some slight rust in two spots. I would still recommend this for outdoor use. If I had the ability to post a picture here in my response I would. I will complete a review of this lock and add the picture there.

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...
