Has anyone used these outside and do they rust? (Don't want stains on the new deck.)

I use mine outdoors. I coated with a layer of "mineral oil". I live in Las Vegas, so we do not have severe winters. Hope that helps!

They don't leave stains, however one of the two we bought broke as soon as we put a pot in it. Not as sturdy as I thought.

Have had mine for a year, with all the weather conditions and rain, still not a problem. They are also sturdy, some are very flimsy and do not move smoothly on the deck.

The top is metal and doesn't seem to leave any rust stains. We have ours outside and in Seattle and it rains a lot. The main problem are the wheels. They are made of plastic and we move ours on aggregate decking. The wheels don't last! Originally, I returned orders 3 times as they arrived with one or more wheels broken. Plastic wheels do not go with metal tops. If you don't plan on moving the trolley at all, they are fine. Hope this helps.

the screws that attach the wheels rust a bit, but i have not had problems with staining of the surface below. the trolley itself is rust proof, and i find this product both attractive and durable.

I have these and they do not rust as far as I can tell. They stay under a potted plant and are very useful. They are just what I wanted.

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.

They definitely are weather proof. They have been outside under a deck for over a year (in Ohio weather conditions) with no issues to date.

I have had mine for a 1 1/2 year sitting at an open-air area and next to my salt water swimming pool and they are in perfect condition with no signs of rusting or rusting marks on the floor, you can also read in the description of this Chaise Lounge (next to the image) that they have a "powder-coated aluminum frame" so I do not think they will rust, clean up and maintenance is easy and if you take good care of them they can last long.

I have never run across any stainless steel with one exception noted later that does not eventually rust in an ocean affected climate. We have a beach house on the Oregon coast and only the significantly thick (3/16th inches) deck post anchors show no sign of rust. Stainless deck screws, stainless joist holders, etc. all show signs of rust...The stainless table clips in question are used in Eugene, OR that is a wet climate but no ocean salt. I've have them outside since I purchased them and they show no sign of rust. I am sure beyond doubt that if I had them on the deck of my OR beach house they would show rust. The salt in ocean breezes seems to be able to dissolve anything in time. If you can find plastic spring clips they should do better over time but the springs will rust. Good luck...Frank

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.

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

Yes, I have bought a couple, and one I left outside in the weather did rust.

I have not seen any rust on mine. They are good quality. Use Barkeeper's Friend and they will stay perfectly clean.

Mine don't have any rust and I've had them for many years. I typically wash them in the dishwasher with the heated dry cycle so that may help since they get well dried. But I've also had them wet from being rinsed off and sitting on the counter for a couple days. They don't rust then either.

I have mine in the house, so there is no rust. I can't comment on one that's outside.

I don't think you should have much of an issue with rust . This table is highly resistant to stains and rust . I don't recommend using it outside , but as long as u wipe it down , it should be fine.

Jwill, I can't say for sure. Mine show no signs of rust, but they are kept inside and dry. At the price I can not imagine that they are made of high quality stainless steel, so my guess is they will rust if left in an environment that would promote rust.

Yes these do rust after years in the ground because they are made from very heavy duty strong steel. However, they are the very best on the market. They are the strongest and 6 inches long enough to hold drip irrigation piping and landscape fabric in place after years of installation. After trying many other alternatives these are the only ones I use in my 39 year landscape business.

They are brushed mild steel, not stainless, with a clear laquer coating. I would not use them outdoors. There is nothing "weatherproof" about them.

I have not had mine rust but they have developed a spotty green corrosion which Im told can be prevented with Bar Keepers Friend. They are great quality seats though and besides that one drawback theyre perfect and really ANY metal hinge is going to do that.
