I'm concerned the Bedrug will hold moisture in the bed & prevent adequate air-flow/drying which may lead to rusting over time. Anyone have a comment?

Only had mine for 6 months but don't think that will be an issue. love mine!

I've had for over a year and so far its been great. By what I could tell, it breathes okay and have not noticed any moister build up...but I guess only time will actually tell.

The Bedrug will cause rust over time if installed over a previously scratched survace. I recommend treating any scratches with sealer or rust inhibitor first.

I have owned 3 of these and have not seen any moisture issues and we live in a humid climate.

Yes, mine has done that. It will eventually (if I remember right) rust a little bit, but the heater worked fine for a couple years.

I bought the cover for it and faithfully cover it after it cools down. I also remove the ash so it doesn't accumulate moisture. I have had no rust problems at all.

The item is water resistant. In a heavy rain, some drops will likely get through, but the bed will be mostly dry. If you directly spray at the cover with a hose, some water (not much) will get in from the sides by forcing its way between the cover and the bedrail.

I put this one in the kitchen but had a larger, similar one in the bathroom and had no rust issues. It did get dusty as moisture, powder, etc. settled on it but otherwise it was not a problem.

I haven't had this board long enough to pass judgement on a rust issue. I certenly hope its designed to withstand steam and moisture from ironing, that is what its supposed to do afterall. I'll follow up as time passes and alert if and when necessary.

My bathroom gets very steamy and it looks as good as when I got it. Rust is not an issue. If you need bathroom storage, you'll be happy with this unit.

I have two and have had no signs of rusting, but neither is ever in contact with moisture. One is in a lavatory on the tank lid of a toilet and the other's in a bedroom.

I havent had any issues with rust and ours is not covered. the cushions? no..they dont get stuck at all. they are hard to keep clean, but thats because of the no cover :)

The legs have a black coat painting so probably wont rust any worse than metal patio furniture. I have notices a little rust around the bolt screws--from my hosing the bed clean about twice a day--a small can of Rustoleum black took care of that for me.

Not to my knowledge. The one I bought has been used and washed numerous times and air-dried; Seen no signs of rust.

No, it will start to pull up over time do to fluctuation in temp, and humidity. For long term protection you may want to use a bed liner or original ( non spray able) plasti dip. It's thicker.

Never is a problem. It dries between uses--It doesn't rust if that is what you are afraid of.

Had mine for 2+ years and still dry as a bone. Assembled properly, there shouldn't be any issue with water leaks.

We live in Florida which is pretty much the arm pit of the world as far as moisture is concerned and we've not had any rust issues. The only thing we do is turn it upside down so water doesn't collect in it.

I use it quite often and then clean and dry it by hand and have had no problem with rust as of this date. Care in washing and drying it well is the Key

I have had mine a long time, no rust. But, in addition to wiping mine dry I let it air dry some more. Then, I reassemble it and put it away.... Great item!!
