Would these rust or are they galvanized?

I bought some recently. The box says "Professional Grade, Durable Steel". They will surely rust, but, if they are like other landscape pins I have, they will still be useable for many years. They are a nice length and 100 count is a lot of pins, so this I believe this is a good value. They are also made in the USA.

I am not totally sure, but if I had to make an educated guess, I would say they are an aluminum alloy.They are light weight and don't seem to rust, even where they are scratched. Hope this helps.

I would say clear zinc plating. I have had them mounted on a trailer all winter and have not seen any rust.

I believe it is galvanized. I live on a sailboat and use my bike to haul groceries to boat. It has been well over a year since I bought it. No rust yet

Yes, in fact I used them outdoors over a year ago and there is no indication of rust.

It appears to be galvanized....I have to store my boat outside and this has not rusted or corroded. It has only been exposed to fresh water.

I'm not sure what they are made of but they do not rust. I can see potential for the fasteners rusting over time perhaps but you don't see them. The number I bought looks great....

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.

Not an expert but having worked with galvanized steel before I know that heat will cause it to rust over time...mine is outdoors under an open air roof and one year later I have no issues.

They are aluminum and aren't rusting at all. I'm pretty sure aluminum won't rust. I'm not sure about the coastal areas but I do have mine around my pook which is salt water. They are very pretty and heavy pieces. I hope this helps!

I haven't noticed any rust issues, but maybe you can spray paint or clear coat them.

Jwill, I can't say for sure. Mine show no signs of rust, but they are kept inside and dry. At the price I can not imagine that they are made of high quality stainless steel, so my guess is they will rust if left in an environment that would promote rust.

Don't know. The metal parts look like they are powder coated but any metal will rust if left out in the elements long enough.

I think they would work just fine I have been using these for a long time and the problem with them is that in a couple of years they rust off but for the price they might be your best bet.

We ordered them for our squadron bar, and they are very sturdy. I think they would do well outside, but not sure if they would rust. Hope this helps

I have installed them around a clawfoot tub three months ago. No rust yet. They are described as stainless steel and brass plated with nickel. If the roller bearings are non-magnetic, then they are probably nickel-plated brass. The rings are stainless steel which will not rust. The brass is my main concern--not for rust but for the nickel plating wearing off showing the yellow brass underneath. The yellow brass could then corrode to a dark green, almost black color with yellow tracks where it got scratched or worn off during the rolling. However, none of that has happened yet. The roller bearings should result in less scratching of the rings and the pole they roll over, but they will eventually wear, hopefully much more slowly than non-roller rings.

The legs (galvanized metal ) do / can develop surface rust, but it has never effected their performance and they have never decayed to the point of non-function due to rust. These sorts of devices do require maintenance, and like anything that your safety depends on, must be checked each time you use them. I have had some of these for over 15 years and they still work, even after being stored outside uncovered.
