Will all three choices of this rack rust if placed outside?

The one I purchased has been outside on patio for 7 months. It has not rusted.

I have used this rack daily for over 2 years and have not seen any rust! Best I have ever had

Likely will rust and have water incursion. Stainless steel grab bars are all I've found to not deteriorate. Those plus a shower chair provide user independence.

With the exception of some nuts on the handle and underneath the cart, this can be safely kept outside. Leave it face up, and use the "dumping" lever to get rid of accumulated rain water and the nuts underneath won't rust. Alternatively, using a silicone-based spray on the exposed metal parts occasionally should also address any problems arising from it being stored outside. Other than its assembly directions being really unclear, I love this cart.

I use mine on my travel trailer. It has been outside for a year. There are the startings of rust at some of the bolt connections. I suspect that after a few years in the FL weather I will be buying a new rack...which I am good with.

Hello Claudia, I have had this rack for about a year and am very happy with it, have not seen any rust yet and it hangs right outside my shower so I am sure it has gotten wet... Hope this helps! Helen

Nope! We have had ours for nearly three years now. It sits outside year round. We live in Ohio. No rust. The only thing that is less than perfect is the fit of the inner lid. It's not quite "true". Not a big issue. Good luck!

The outside doesn't rust but the inside where the adjustment holes allow water inside will rust. I solved that by taping over the holes with duct tape. I thought that this unit very versatile and easy to use. It was easy to move between the commode and the shower. I would recommend it.

Ours is going to be kept outside. The only concern I will have is the sun damage to the net material. The frame is aluminum so I am not worried about rust.

The table is made of aluminum and stainless steel, so being outside would not likely result in rusting. If it is under an awning or has shelter, definitely no issues. If in direct contact with rain, I think the question is whether the wheel locks and baskets would rust/corrode. I am not sure. For the price and quality, I do think that is is worth the risk. There are also spray on items such as lacquer that you may be able to apply to the steel components to keep them from rusting. They sell it in the spray paint aisle at most DIY stores.

Not at all. I live on the salt marsh in Savannah. I purchased the shelving unit last fall. Assembled it in my garage where it has been since then and there is no sign of rust or any corroding. I love the portability and convenience and especially the price!!! I would recmend it to anyone!

That would have been my question as well. I may give it a try as I'd use it only after checking the radar and weather.com. I'll put the heavy items on the lowest racks, maybe put bricks around the legs. The other problem I foresee is perching birds, but I'll use the bird-scare tape I use in the garden, on the sides. And if rust becomes an issue, there's Rustoleum.

I've had this rack on all winter and a tiny bit of rust around where you connect the two basket parts together has formed. It's a very small amount. Hope this helps.

I have not seen any rust. This is honestly the best rack I have even had and would recommend it

Unfortunately, I have... It's not super noticeable and I still love the dish rack, but yes there is some rusting.

It is all aluminum so it want rust. I have left ours outside many a night by accident and it is still like new. It is easy to move so I try to remember to bring it in. Even though it is built extremely well and it aluminum I would still recommend bringing it in when not in use. It only makes common sense that less anything is out in the elements the longer it will last.

We live in Tucson, AZ where it is very dry, with little humidity. I had a similar drying rack for years that did eventually rust. This is why I plan to spray the sides with a product that will protect it. Hopefully it will last for years.
