not sure, I wasn't planning to use it in the water. I bought the hand help float one instead. some people use a cut down ski pole- that would be waterproof

This thing is a piece of junk. The very first time I used it was in the water and the thing fell apart. I was bummed and let it sit a few days. When i unscrewed my go pro from it a few days later...yes it was rusted. I know it cheap and tempting to buy, but I guess Ill need to go buy something of more quality.

metal is just called an alloy, not sure exactly what it is but it's lightweight like aluminum or stainless steel. The telescoping sections are very tight together so any dirt or salt debris could make it really tough to telescope. For the price you can buy 2 in case something happens to one and then use one in water...they are VERY handy and a must-have for self filming.

I have used it in salt water, and yes it does rust. It also prevents the top part from unscrewing so I have to buy a new one. Not waterproof.

I didn't try it yet but it doesn't look like waterproof, the material seems pretty cheep so I believe easily can be damage by salt water

I would not think it is waterproof, It is steel and will most likely rust over time.. although the top rod is chromed.. You could always put a clear waterproof varnish over it. Hope this helps

It's moderately durable and I have not had mine long enough to know if it rusts. I believe other reviewers have reported that it will rust.

It is definately not water proof....it is just made in such a way that enables it to be more resistant to corrosion in a marine environment.

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!

I am using it on an outside porch. I have a lot of salt spray so it may eventually rust, but I think a little rustoleum spray will go along way if this happens. Has worked great so far! A little car polish can help add some protection as well.

I used the screws that came with it in my saltwater pool. The screws at the top that are not always submerged are rusted slightly, but only surface rust it appears. The screws under the water line look just fine.

Hi. I've used this at outdoor plays and at the beach. I have never submerged it in water as the interior frame is metal or aluminum, but I've gotten it wet and spilled soda on it with no problems hosing it off. I just make sure to dry it out right after rinsing so the metal won't rust.

Don't think so....it looks like it is protected against rust. But, I've only had it for six months and it doesn't sit in the weather, so....I may not be the best judge.

I am using it in salt water for two years, so far it is OK .I don't know what the correct answer is. Good luck

It is a ferrous metal bulletin board with no obvious kind of coating on the surface. I would expect it to rust in wet & humid environments. We have ours on the side of a kitchen cabinet, where it performs admirably.

I really don't know. I think it should run fine in salt water but unless you clean it VERY GOOD I would expect it to corrode very quickly making it useless. I I reeally don't know how you might clean it sufficiently.

It's metal so I'm pretty sure it would rust over time if it gets wet. It IS beautiful. I have it as the centerpiece in a collage of crosses on a wall.

It is made of a high quality stainless steel. It will not rust when wet under most conditions. However it is not made of the type of stainless steel from which Nautical Equipment is made. I would not suggest that this item be exposed to a highly corrosive environment (such as the salt water of the sea) for a lengthy period of time.

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

I have not used it in saltwater. I think it is aluminum and plastic. I personally would want something beefier for saltwater. I think a little salt might gum it up. Hopefully someone will weigh in with first hand knowledge. It is a good product for its price point. Fly shop folks do not recommend it for saltwater.

Salt water is where I am using my bag and have seen no rust in the time since purchased the bag { 2 months } after a fishing trip, I rinse everything with fresh water.
