Is this rust proof or rust resistant? I assume since it is designed for outdoor use that it is fine in the rain without rusting. Is that true?

I've had this product for a few years. I live in San Antonio, TX area and it has remained outside as I have nowhere else to keep it. It has held up quite well.

Not sure I keep mine in my garden shed. I really love mine and if anything were to happen to it I would get another.

No it will rust in the rain. We turn ours on the end so no water stays on it. Spray a lubricant on seat screw so it doesn't corrode. Love ours, will be using it again soon.

I'm sure about being rust proof but it has a black metal finish and i have it outdoors here in Arizona. It is under my eaves. I just love it. It is nice and sturdy, was easy to put together. I would definitely buy it again

It is not supposed to rust, and I haven't had it long enough to see for myself.We've had se pretty severe storms with lots of wind lately (gusts up to 40mph) but it didn't topple over.

It hasn't rusted yet. However, we almost always have it covered and we live in California where it never rains any more.

Well it is metal so I do think if outside it might rust. I guess if humidity is not an issue and you keep relatively dry then okay.

It appears to be rust proof. Mine is two years old and rust free. It is a very dark green

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.

i don't know if it is rust proof. Looks like stainless steel to me. Mine has been installed for about 4 month and still looks great.

It is designed to be used outdoors. I have not had an issue with it in the rain or the snow.

I've had mine outside all winter and it shows no rust. Maybe that one was flawed?

YES!!! Extremely, but I does rust if left outside. Other than that slight cosmetic issue it is GREAT!!!

I bought one of these 4 years ago. I move it outside for the warm months (May-Oct) and bring it in for the winter. I live in Washington, DC, so it has been out in the rain and sun. Mine has not rusted. I love it!

It is solid plastic, so it's not going to rust. It isn't a flimsy plastic either, you should be fine using it outside.

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!

Though we have not done so, I would expect keeping it outside would be fine. Ours has travelled many hundreds of miles in the back of the truck; rain, snow, etc. It has held up well. We have had no problems with rust.

No rust problems with my sign but I have it mounted on my porch. It under cover and it rarely ever gets wet. I'm very satisfied with the purchase.

It has not started to rust, though I don't store the bike outside. I would not expect it to rust either if left outside. It may just get some small rust spots in the surface.
