How does this hold up when outdoors? Are the corners galvanized to avoid rust?

It is a very good quality set. The corners will get slight rust in the welds, but will hold up well. I use mine for a mobile business and it is very durable.

I've only had it about 2 weeks but did set it up in the backyard. It seems sturdy enough. Imounless a hurricane comes through I think it would hold up ok. The corners are galvanized.

There are two ways to support the netting: 1. Using PVC pipe with special corner pieces that are not available at Home Depot or Lowes, or 2, using the metal corners and electrical conduit. I got my PVC and metal corners from DB Enterprises my purchase was in 2003. I used the PVC which did not rust until May of this year. I painted the metal tubing and the corners prior to putting up the metal conduit and caulked the joints to prevent water getting inside and rusting. The unit works fine for me.

Yes it has sustained well outdoors. I have it setup underneath a covered patio and have had no issues. Also, as far as assembly... It's pretty much pre assembled. The sides fold out and the shelves slide into the unit and fit into place. Very quick setup

It has not rusted as of yet, but we have only had it a few months. It has held up much better than the other cheapie ones and has given an amazing amount of extra room for such a small curve.

I've had it for a year on a covered, outdoor, back porch and have no rust. It can get wet or snowy if it is blowing hard enough.

We have used ours infrequently for the last couple years - no rust problems i am aware of. It's a quality piece of cast iron, good paint on the outside-

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

It does not appear to be susceptible to rust. It's well painted on every surface. I don't know how the salt in the sea air will effect it over time, but it's really well made, I can say that. We have ours outside uncovered and it holds up beautifully.

Highly resistant; mine has been outside for six months uncovered with no rust yet!

We've had ours for a few months and so far no rust. We cover it when it rains to protect it. It is very heavy and very sturdy. With as sturdy as it is I do not anticipate any warping to happen. Overall it is a very nice grill.

I am using it outdoors. And no problem so far. The entire contain is hard plastic so it will not rust.

The holder seems to be made of some perhaps galvanized metal, not plastic-coated. It is exposed to moisture all the time because I use it for draining flatware after washing. There are no signs of rust.

yes, we leave it outdoors all summer, w/ no problems. It has a good finish and does not rust -- although if you were to "rock" it on a stone/concrete/brick patio, the coating would erode.we made a quick cover out of some plastic packaging to keep the leaves/detritus from collecting in the "lounging" area - that was the only fail in the design -- realistically, there is no way a "hole" could have been placed in the sit-upon area w/o destroying the integrity.

I have had it outside for a year now in the Pacific NW and its rust free. I cover it with a tarp when it rains.
