It is powder coated so that will help, but I would store it when possible. It is nice and light and folds do storage is easy.

Salt air yes, salt water no. It appears to be powder coated tubular steel and synthetic mesh so air shouldn't have an effect. Subjected to immersion or soaking in salt water and steel eacts badly.

It will run, but salt water is very corrosive. Unless it is built from or coated with material that resists corrosion, every part of the motor that comes in contact with salt water or salt air will be affected. A motor that would otherwise last for a decade could be worthless after a single season in salt water.

I've owned one since june of 2013, I'm on the Ocean every weekend and no less than twice a week. Iv been caught in the rain and had plent of salt water splash on the Standard Horizon unit with no issues. I wouldn't throw it over board and try to use it after but its worked well for me here in Maine.

I haven't used it in the ocean, but I don't imagine that it would be effected by the salt water.The ipod is waterproofed on the inside. It's not like it's just covered by a flimsy external waterproof cover. To look at the ipod, it just looks like any other normal ipod. The water, salted or otherwise should not be a problem.

I would say yes. I use it in a salt water swimming pool, but have not used it in the ocean. The device is sealed and should not let in any water, salt or otherwise. If you are worried about effect of salt remaining on the surface and drying out there, wash it off after use. Additionally, the instructions coming with the device do not contraindicate use in salt water.

I think so, you have to keep it very wet though. The sand might be a problem.

Have not had I need at ball games and action events.it in any water yet. I would also like to know if it can hold up to salt water. Works great out of water and gets the angle and height I need for ball games and action events. Good quality and made very stable and appears like it would be fine in the water if the metal is aluminum or stainless steel, but nothing in the provided paper work states that. Hope this helps a bit.

You could use it for saltwater but the lighting may not be proper for what you plan on putting in the tank. It may not be suitable for corals or live rock.

yes it will stand up - it is very heavy duty and it not a "pop up" style. with any wind though should be staked but can use sand bags for weight as well. Use can use patio heater in it as long as you leave one end open

I am not sure what the specs say but I don't see any reason why it can't be used with salt water. All of the electrical components are pretty well sealed as far as I can tell. It is a brushless motor so there is no need for a seal that is going to wear out either. It's pretty cheap and worth a try. Jordan

I think it would be fine for use on the beach, as long as you take-a-long something to tie it down with (bucket of rocks, concrete blocks, & bungee cords, etc). It really doesn't take much wind to move it or knock it down. Good luck & have fun!

Absolutely...of course i just bought mine..but the material is good quality. It cant be left in standing water, but it will retard moisture. It should all the dust out etc. I think it will be fine in several years.

We bought ours to use in salt water, we have only had it three months, so far so good.

Yes, but do remember that it is electric. You do not want it subjected to wet weather. The outside is a sturdy plastic so it should be fine outdoors.

Yes, but it would probably not be very beneficial if the surface is always touching salt water. This product is just a very heavy exterior coat, but not actually "permanent".

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.
