It definitely seems to have a coating on it. I did not see anything mentioned about it being used to combat rotting, but it does not seem to have any problems with rot.

It seems to be stainless steel. No signs of it being coated, though I don't think I read the manual thing cover to cover.

we have had the fountain for almost a year with no problems. I would suspect that you can coat with a polymer coating as the unit appears to be made of fiberglas

They are coated. I don't know with what. I used them this entire season and have held up nicely

The frame seems well coated. I leave it outside, but under a screen porch. I'm into the second year, and no sign of rust at all.

It is not coated, but I haven't had any issues with scratches. This is a great system and great quality.

i've worked with wood since i was a kid...so i'm pretty sure, there is no "coating" on this. it's nicely sanded. it might have a food safe oil on it..its hard to tell.

I haven't prevented the rust. Perhaps spraying it with some clear sealer would work.

I suspect for some period of time, but its solid, low grade wood and doesn't appear to be treated. If outside, even though covered, I'd coat it with some level of protection.

I just double checked with my wife and neither one us remember any protective coating film. If you think that there might be some type I'd contact the mfg.Good luck.

No coating. The inside of the boiler reservoir has a sandblasted smooth finish. It's a really nice pot.

It seems to be well-coated with a protective glaze of some sort, so I think the chances of that are minimal. However, anything metal has the ability to rust at the joints or wherever nicks might leave it vulnerable to moisture. Just don't immerse it in water or place damp or wet items on it and you should have no problem.

All of the parts I have coated are black plastic. It covers very well. Robert

It's not coated with anything, but I haven't had a problem with food sticking to it or it getting scratched up. It will damage non-stick pans, so be careful.

Not coated, and it will rust. The unit comes with a cover, but it's very flimsy and tears easily.

As far as I know its stainless, I've never had any "coating" come off on mine.

Mine does not appear to be vinyl coated. It looks and fits great and has not mildewed.
