will this rust if used outdoors?

I haven't had mine over 6 months yet. But mine is outdoors and under a carport. But so far so good. :)

Mine rusted wherever moisture can get inside. The visible parts did not rust but inside the tubes rusted and the ends that were covered by rubber did also.

The metal tubing parts of this rack are black powder coated, which is probably the most durable paint coating for steel parts. However, if steel is exposed to moisture by chipping or scratching through the coating, it will rust and the rust will work its way under any existing coating. There is a small chance of rusting, but this is as good as it gets without making the rack of aluminum (which can still corrode) or plastic tubing (which degrades over time with exposure to sunlight).

I have only had it for a short time, but so far no. It's stainless steel so it shouldn't rust.

Mine stays outside and is holding up well. But only have had it for 6 mo. No corrosion or rust. I believe it comes with a 10 year guarantee against that.

I would assume, like any metal object, if it gets wet or put in any moist area, it will rust. My suggestion to you is: if you need something for outside, stick with plastic.

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.

I do not see why not. It is an all plastic construction, so it would not rust. However, it is not waterproof!

It should not rust, however, be careful that you wipe off the padded seat so it doesn't soak up too much water.

I don't know if it will rust. I have only had it for less than one year, and it has worked fine so far, and no visible signs of rust of discoloring.

No. I've only had it for a few months, but I seriously doubt that it would rust.

Never use outside but it is probably like anything else and subject to rust if left outside.

I've had it for a year on a covered, outdoor, back porch and have no rust. It can get wet or snowy if it is blowing hard enough.

We have used ours infrequently for the last couple years - no rust problems i am aware of. It's a quality piece of cast iron, good paint on the outside-

I have mine in a corner of the kitchen, but it seems to have a powder coat of bronze paint all over, so I think it may not rust.

Yes. Just make sure that you rinse it off and dry it when you're done. The water will oxidize the metal and cause it to rust if you leave it wet outside of the water.

It's always in my SUV so It's never exposed to the weather for any length of time. It iappears to be aluminum so I don't imagine it would rust easily.

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.

I am not sure if it will rust or deteriorate if left outside. Mine is in my kitchen. My impression is that it is designed for inside use.
