Are these plastic or metal? I want to be able to leave them outside for an extended period of time and everything rusts here. Thanks.

In my point of view if you leave plastic outsude for extended periods of time, such as this product, it will become brittle, lose its integrity & no longer bear weight to the level it was designed. I owm these. I have bought at least seven pairs. However, I bought them to travel in my truck & stack in my basement. If I needes sawhorses to live outside I would build them out of wood and paiint them regularly. This plastic will eventually fail if you leave it in the weather. They fail anyway due to age and abuse. Would I buy it again? Yes, on sale. The design works for me better than all the other options.

They are a hard plastic, they can get wet, But there are some moving parts, so weather could effect those.

We have them in a shed in humid NC and they haven't rusted. Had about 8 months.

I'm pretty sure it's plastic. I've had them for a long time now and I really like them though. They're decently made and pretty durable

Yes they do rust. Pulled some up from last year and they were rusty. I don't think you can find any that don't rust.

No they are no metal, they are mostly plastic. They fell apart! Some of them as we took them out of the container.

They definitely aren't plastic. I'm not sure if they're stainless steel but they are some kind of shiny, steel-like metal. They're actually pretty sturdy.

I honestly do not know. I gave them to relatives for their garden last year and they were very happy. The cones appeared to be very well built and sturdy. Being metal, they probably will at some point in time rust - but maybe not.

I am not totally sure, but if I had to make an educated guess, I would say they are an aluminum alloy.They are light weight and don't seem to rust, even where they are scratched. Hope this helps.

The ones I got were metal, they look great, but I did hear some of them are plastic too... I would call them to make sure..

I've had mine for a few months and they haven't rusted at all. I don't put them in the dishwasher or leave them in water, though.

All plastic, with the exception of the black painted rings and metal clips. My clips started rusting after a couple of weeks. replace the clips with brass "S" hooks painted black. Has been outside for 2 months+, no sign of rust now. Have 4 hanging from a pergola. See pictures on product page.

I believe they're made of aluminum. I have had them for over a year and don't see any rust on them.

I've had mine for several years and they show no signs of rust. Seem to be made of quality material.

We ordered them for our squadron bar, and they are very sturdy. I think they would do well outside, but not sure if they would rust. Hope this helps

Yes they will rust.. But they still work great even being rusted. If you could put some type of spray on it that didn't have a odor that would help prevent the rust.

I would not have these outdoors at all. They are a great quality but they will rust outside.

I've had mine since April. They haven't rusted nor has the coating peeled. Hope this helps :)
