Will this thing rust out if I leave it in the rain? Or can I just plant it on the deck and leave it there with no worry?

i don't know if it will rust or not. i wouldn't worry about the fasteners or metallic objects rusting, but i would be concerned with the uv rays destroying the fabric. it is a durable fabric and a well built chair, but i don't think the fabric was meant to be left outside in the elements. if the chair is not in the direct sun, out of the elements, or covered when not in use, i believe that this chair would last a long time.

We keep ours outside and no sign of rust. These are great chairs and very comfortable.

I've left it outside a couple of nights, and it's not showing any sign of rusting, but I haven't owned it long enough for it to rust. It's a great chair, and it's difficult for me to find a chair that's comfortable because I'm 355 pounds. So I take good care of it.

The legs and cross bars are all aluminum with canvas fabric so no rust there. Only metal parts are the pins holding the joints together. I would spray the joints with plasti dip or rubber spray before I left it outside. And the canvas will rot after a few years of constant sunlight. You may want a plastic chair. This chair is better suited for throwing in the truck or camper after use.

I've had mine in a covered porch; but it closes tightly & I doubt if it will rust outside. Good product.

I live in Arizona where it probably would not rust, but I'm sure it would up north. I would just buy a can of gray Rustoleum spray paint and give it a zap whenever it looks a little iffy. I personally think outdoors would be a preferable place to use it. It is a great tower at a great price.

It is made of painted metal so it should be safe to keep outdoors. The only problem I see is the potential for it to rust

I leave mine on a covered patio. I would not just leave it outside uncovered because it will ruin it.

I cannot confirm or deny that it might rust. I have mine hung on a wall in my lanai, so it is covered and away from the sun and elements. I have only had it about one month so it is hard to tell what wear and tear it might encounter.

It isn't rusting and mine is outside day and night. I wipe it off maybe once a week from leaves and all. Still looks new.

I've had mine several years now and it does not rust. I use it indoors and have transparent drip trays under the pots that don't have their own drip trays. I really like mine, you can adjust the arrangement of the 3 legs somewhat to allow for plants that are wider or ones that are taller or plants that vine downward, like an ivy. they don't have to all be evenly spaced. Mine is currently on an oak shelf under a window so to protect the surface I have small self-adhesive felt-like pieces on each of the curved feet.

I imagine that it would rust if left outdoors. I use mine in my utility room and have had no problems.

Mine in hung outside the shower area. It is chrome though so it shouldn't rust.

I do. It has been there since I got it and I water plants on it.No rust yet, but then again, i dont care if it does eventually happens.

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.

Yes to both questions. I bought this last year to go on my deck. It is out of the sun and doesn't get very wet when it rains. I did put a couple coats of Rustoleum clear paint on the shelf and the baskets before putting it outside and brought it inside over the winter. It's still in really good shape. I did repaint the stand with black Rustoleum before putting it out this year, because it was a little faded.

The only issue I've had is rain rusting the hardware. Best to put it under a cover of some sort.

We have this mounted on our front porch. It is protected from direct rain and sun. It might rust eventually if you have it out in the elements but it works great for people to drop things off for us in a secure place when we are not home.

No it isn't rust proof, The outside is okay but water can get in the frame piping and you get rust.

I won't recommend leaving this outdoor because one this thing is very light and blow away by the wind and second the inside part made out of cast iron over the time it will rust due to oxidation. And if you do plan to leave outdoor cover it with something nylon. Prevents from rain and dust.
