Does the basketball hoop rust over time?

I just got mine in August, and I'm directly on the beach. So far it's holding up, with no signs of rust.

I've had mine for 3 weeks and it is rusting and peeling. I have a salt pool

I have had the product for 1 season and all is well. Very sturdy assembly suitable for college age boys. We have a salt pool which is very nice but super corrosive on steel. I suspect the hoop will rust at some point in time but it survived season 1 very well. Maybe in 5 years I will need to replace the hoop but that would be a simple fix.

I've had it for 4 months and its only contact with water is when cleaned utensils are returned to it. No rust yet!

It does not rust, but from wear on the underneath side of the metal it does not appear to be solid copper, finish rubbed off exposing a pewter color only where it meets the bottom plastic. Wear not visible when assembled and no rust after 3 years of use.

No! I even leave a little water in it from time to time and no rust so far. I've had it for months & couldn't be happier.

I have mine in the freezer and have had for about 6 months. No rust yet. And they are really great solid baskets.

I have no problem with the product rusting. Holds up well if cleaned and cared for after each use. I have had one for more then 5 years and bought a 2nd one as a gift about a year ago.

I've had one that looks identical for at least 10 years. The rack itself is in great condition.....no rust at all. I love the way it looks! Very classy.

It doesn't rust, but the color/shine did fade a bit. I have had mine for over a year

I've had it a while now and no rust anywhere. Pretty confident the mesh won't rust

I had it outside all Summer and it didn't show any signs of rust. I did put it away for the Winter.

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

I've had this rack on all winter and a tiny bit of rust around where you connect the two basket parts together has formed. It's a very small amount. Hope this helps.

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've had mine for 5 months. No sign of rust. It's a nice heavy duty rack - not cheap or flimsy. I think it's worth the price. I would buy it again.

I guess they are the ones that attach the hoop to the back board. But so far I have had no problem with them rusting and I am going into my second season with the basketball hoop I saw that review too and did not pay it any mind, I thought if I had to I could always replace the screws with stainless steel ones if it became a big deal

Actually it's only been in a couple of rains but I don't see any rust yet. My thoughts are that bike baskets are pretty much rust resistant. BTW, I've had mine for a year or so (stored in unheated garage in winter too) and it's as shiny as new.
