Does this chair rust at the rivet joints or anywhere else? I would take mine to the coast and want to make sure the salt water does not get to it.

No..its a good chair for the money..if you sit on the beach and not go swimming with it, there shouldn't be a problem.

The ladder is made from corrosion resistant coated steel and should resist rusting under most circumstances. Rinsing after use may minimize any corrosive effects from the salt water.

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.

I kayak out of the Port of Redwood City so the water is salty and slimy. Since my husband has a Hobie Mirage, I would store it in his kayak but I don't kayak through rocky terrain and haven't needed to take it. It's all plastic so rust shouldn't be an issue

I live in coastal area also. I've had the item on the exterior of my house for almost a year now. No rust yet.

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

Perhaps it will start to rust at the hinges if its left out and gets wet regularly, over time. But the entire frame appears to be weather-coated to prevent rusting. My chair has gotten wet only a handful of times in the past year and no rust has started. But I also try to fold it up and keep it out of weather as much as possible. I'm very happy with this product.

I've had this basket hanging in my beach front home for over 10 years. It is in front of a window that is open all summer long to the salty (corrosive to all metals) ocean breezes and only now are the baskets starting to show some rust. I would not have noticed the small point of rust at the soldered points except the chain (which is not stainless steel) broke is several places. So I'm back on Amazon looking to replace it.

I have the inflatable ring so no pool rust. I had to get a new pool last year because of storm damage and i did notice that ladder had more rust than the previous one. Can't say it was the saltwater because it was the outside screws. Parts that go in the pool are plastic. Frame of the ladder that is metal is good to go.

Salt water will corrode the components as stated in the manual. I havent tried

Since the body of the seat is PVC type heavy plastic and the legs are brushed aluminum, my answer would be an emphatic YES. My mom has been using the chair in her shower for several months and it's showing no signs of rust.

Love the chair. I would not leave it out in the winter as there are screws that will rust.

The materials in mine are 420HC stainless - not prone to corrosion , 440 steel on the strap cutter which could rust and plastic handles, however I have not worn or used mine in salt water or left it in the rain so I can only say, it's possible under some circumstances. There is a screw n the back of the plastic holster that could rust or corrode, however like any tool, if one wipes and dries the raptor down after use in the field this should not happen, IMHO.

Sorry, for the late response. I will confirm it will sit in shallow water however, not sure if the salt water be harsh on the outer mechanisms. Moreover, it's hard cast iron I would reach to Zoeller regarding the salt water which could destroy most things if exposed for long periods. I hope this helps but performance wise GREAT!!!

To answer your question. So far, there is no sign of rust to the chrome hinge. I've had this seat in use for approx. 6 mos. the chrome looks to be a good quality. I would think if you clean it regularlly , the chrome would last. Hope this helps you out.
