What is this made of? Aluminum? Steel? Will it rust?

It is made of steel. It may rust if its exposed I would imagine. I will say it had not even crossed my mind. I have used it to hold my bike while I wash it with the hose. I did let it dry in the sun. I've had it for a few months and have used it often. For the money I have made a great buy.

I'm actually not sure what its made out of. The black parts are heavy grade plastic. whereas the silver parts are like some sort of (maybe galvanized) metal? It does not appear that rust will be an issue, but who knows if it's left out in the elements. If you're thinking carport I would say you're totally fine. Hope that helps. Still enjoying mine!!

I would guess stainless. Definitely not plastic, and too heavy for aluminum.

The sign is aluminum but the pole it mounts to was iron and did have mild rust in the package. What it will do my yard through the years is anybody's guess.

Made out of aluminum. Be careful, it comes apart after a couple of uses! I returned mind.

Don't know what it's made of. I've had it for more than 3 years, no rust at all. It faded a bit, but I'm not surprised -- our water is very hard.

Feels like aluminum. I had mine out all winter long and we had a lot of snow and rain in the northeast. Not a spec of rust on it!

My husband says that it is "stainless steel". I have one of mine (I just purchased another one) for more than a year and I have had NO rust.I hope this answers your question.

Hi Nick, I have had mine 4 years. It's made of 304 stainless steel which does not rust. Very resilient product

It is too heavy to be aluminum, but it looks more like powder coated steel than stainless. I've had mine a couple of months and it still looks good and I like it a lot, but I see potential for it to rust at the welds.

I believe it is aluminum, not 100% sure though. I have never had a problem with it bending or rusting. Very sturdy. Works great when getting leaves etc. from pool. I dont know where it was made. Sorry. I always check that first but this time I was in a hurry and forgot.

Not sure, but after years of use , there is no rust . Also a magnet will not work on it.

Ours has been outside in all weather conditions. No rust although I think it is cast aluminum.

It is metal and lightweight. So I assume it is aluminum. But I'm not certain, sorry.

Yes. It's aluminum. It doesn't rust but is susceptible to bending and being dinged. We used thick rigid foam board as reinforcement and protection for the bed.

It's made of aluminum, very durable! Kinda heavy at first, but you'll get used to it.

Hard to say what it is made of and where because there is no labelling on it but it is not magnetic. Either aluminum or stainless steel but I'd lean more towards stainless steel.
