Are the screws rust resistant (for outdoor use)?

Installed these in early August 2014, have been thru several rain storms and still no rust so far.

Yes, in fact I used them outdoors over a year ago and there is no indication of rust.

The screws are exposed. So will your stress veins when you realise it's rusting before your eyes.I installed four of the outside on a country side walkway and they have rusted, Buyer beware .

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.

Sure. Just carefully drill your 2 holes on each side. A flange covers the screws. But this is my second one that has began to rust.

The legs (galvanized metal ) do / can develop surface rust, but it has never effected their performance and they have never decayed to the point of non-function due to rust. These sorts of devices do require maintenance, and like anything that your safety depends on, must be checked each time you use them. I have had some of these for over 15 years and they still work, even after being stored outside uncovered.

If you use them outside I would spray them with a clear sealent otherwise after a while I think they would probably rust.

Blue-Kote Screws provide rust-resistance up to 400% greater than zinc-plated screws and work with pressure-treated material. Above is the quote from Kreg's site.

They do not look like they are all stainless. That being said, my swing sits outside in my back yard in the Florida rains. I have had it for 3 months with no rust.

The screws are not stainless steel however they are treated with a zinc dichromate plating. Lakeland Mills, Inc provides a 1 year warrenty.

I think they might rust, but they are metal powder coated. Maybe outdoor under cover would work. I do love mine, but I use them inside.

I'm not certain if they are stainless steal or not, but I suspect they are because we've had the teak bench for several months now in a constantly very wet shower environment (we shower about twice a day), and so far the screws do not appear to be rusting at all. No rust problems yet!

I used the screws that came with it in my saltwater pool. The screws at the top that are not always submerged are rusted slightly, but only surface rust it appears. The screws under the water line look just fine.

The price is for a pair. (2) We are using ours on our pontoon boat. They have been used outside for a year and still look like new....no rust. No screws were provided with the purchase.

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

I just received it in December so no rust issues thus far. But if you take one of the rusted screws to Home Depot they can match it. They have an elaborate in store measurement grid to match hardware.

Hello,We have checked with the manufacturer and they do not recommend having this outdoors unless they are covered. They may rust if they get wet. If you have some sort of patio covering, where they are under the shade constantly, then it may be alright outdoors. We do apologize we were unable to give you a specific answer. If you need anything else, please let us know.Thank you.

i've been using mine for over a year in a very humid environment and have not had any rust issues.
