Hi, wanting to put these in a shed, but our climate is pretty wet... anyone experience rust with these?

I have them on a wardrobe rolling rack which is in a storage unit much like a shed; can be damp, hot, and cold. They have not rusted at all and have been in there for several years.

We have them in a shed in humid NC and they haven't rusted. Had about 8 months.

We used them in the storage compartment on our camper and they have worked great. There is no rust on them however, they are in a dry enclosed area.

I have never stored them near water, but I would assume it would rust if it was often wet. They are sturdy but coated lightly, so I think the metal would rust pretty easily.

Hi GinieI purchased these product a while ago. I live in Miami, FL and as I showed in the pictures they are outside on the fence that divide my property. Except snow we got all type of weather here and honestly mine has not rust. I hope this can help you.

Well I have had my set of work stands for almost two years and as of yet no problems with any rust. However I am in Arizona and it is dry here, not a big problem. The painted ends appear to be painted with powder coating and covered very well. As long as they are not stored outside in damp conditions I would think you would receive many years of good service from them. I do enjoy these stands and would not hesitate to purchase them again.

I haven't seen any rust issues so far. Buying better hardware certainly won't hurt anything, but I would recommend using some type of thread lubricant to protect the exposed threads as you would in any other outdoor application.

We've had ours for a year now and through snow and rain they haven't rusted yet. Good luck!

No rust. No dripping. I do take them off in the winter for the season. Slight sun fading has occurred. I expected that though.

I accidentally left mine in the sink over night and they did rust. If you take care of them you should not have the problem I did, but mistakes happen...

The chairs are rust proof !! I left my chairs out all winter and today I took the covers off . ( NO RUST)

Mine started to rust after only a few months, and now 8 months later are heavily rusted. Schlage refuses to warranty them since they are not warrantied against rust in "corrosive environments" like outside.

I have not used mine outside, But I would, I think they would hold up fine, I have had them saturated several times and they have not rusted or shown any signs of rust. The rubber/plastic covers on the feet may not hold up to cold temps so I would either take those covers off or bring them indoors in cold winter months.

after I used them and they are GREAT! I washed them off and dried them in a warm oven. I use and put away. Mine do not stay out in the elements long. I would imagine that it would take a long time to rust out bad. They work perfectly and catch the problem animal immediately.

I think they might rust, but they are metal powder coated. Maybe outdoor under cover would work. I do love mine, but I use them inside.

I have only owned the fence for a year, but left it out all winter, and have not noticed any rust.If you're concerned, you could always spray them with rustoleum.

We have had no problems with rust. But we are mindful not to leave them sitting in water or wet for a long period of time.
