has any body used this for marine / boat seat ? I'm specially concerned how quickly it will rust in salt water.

This is constructed of steel. Most of it is powder coated, however some will be exposed steel, which overtime will rust. Salt water would be issue over a period of time.

I have not had mine rust but they have developed a spotty green corrosion which Im told can be prevented with Bar Keepers Friend. They are great quality seats though and besides that one drawback theyre perfect and really ANY metal hinge is going to do that.

I have only had them for a short time, but certainly, over time, they will rust. Keep in mind that stainless is rust resistant, not rust proof. If the chromium layer on the stainless is removed, chipped or damaged, it will rust. In addition, it is often staining that is seen, not rust. Ultimately, nearly any material that is outside in the elements will become damaged, stained, etc. If the beach is on salt water, your issue will be even more difficult. Plastic would be the best in your situation.

Yes, I've used it quite a bit, and never even thought it would rust- it's looking great! Good feel to it too, really ergonomic and all that. I bought 2 for my daughters too, it's the best one I've ever had. Hope this helps!

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.

I have had one for two months outside ,and I would recommend that you seal the seat screw holes with possibly a caulk or rust prevented (Rustolium ) as this is the only criticism I have of this chair.I found that within a week or so,rustmarks were appearing. I have already bought a second one and will be certainly be doing that. The paint finish is probably a polyurethane finish ,that would be just a guess!

Call and ask-good people. I don't see why not the base metal is heavily treated. I am going on a cruise next week and be wearing it in the salt water pool. It shouldn't make a difference-the water is outside the unit. It's not like a boat engine.

If this is going to be by an ocean area, I'd say no to the rust proof. We've had ours for about a year now and it's not rusty, but again we are not near the coast.

Yes. Absolutely. You will need to rinse it off with fresh water. As you know salt water will corrode it if it is not cleaned after each use.MarineHQ

Just make sure you rinse it off when used in either. Have used mine in saltwater multiple times with no problems.

No problem with rust BUT we live in the desert. Also no problem with the cushions. We will probably need to keep this furniture covered or the weather will ruin it.

It does not appear to be susceptible to rust. It's well painted on every surface. I don't know how the salt in the sea air will effect it over time, but it's really well made, I can say that. We have ours outside uncovered and it holds up beautifully.

If you are asking about using it in a saltwater aquarium, I would not recommend it. I bought for my saltwater tank and realized it has metal parts. I ended up finding a completely pvc flapper valve to use instead.

It's great for saltwater! The only issue I have had is that you get water inside the prop housing. Not a huge deal, I just remove the prop after each outing and clean the housing

No, no issue wih Rust. It's the perfect size and it's well made. I love it. Good luck

I have never run across any stainless steel with one exception noted later that does not eventually rust in an ocean affected climate. We have a beach house on the Oregon coast and only the significantly thick (3/16th inches) deck post anchors show no sign of rust. Stainless deck screws, stainless joist holders, etc. all show signs of rust...The stainless table clips in question are used in Eugene, OR that is a wet climate but no ocean salt. I've have them outside since I purchased them and they show no sign of rust. I am sure beyond doubt that if I had them on the deck of my OR beach house they would show rust. The salt in ocean breezes seems to be able to dissolve anything in time. If you can find plastic spring clips they should do better over time but the springs will rust. Good luck...Frank

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.
