We live in Tucson, AZ where it is very dry, with little humidity. I had a similar drying rack for years that did eventually rust. This is why I plan to spray the sides with a product that will protect it. Hopefully it will last for years.

Possibly the outer frame will rust, the part that touches your clothes is plastic.

I not know for sure because I keep mine indoors; however, it is not very thick metal. I suspicious it would especially in salt air.

We left ours up outside for a month or so outside and it did not rust or get damaged. It seems pretty sturdy as long as you keep it staked into the ground..If you get alot of wind you may want to bring it in also.

We have had ours for about 4 months. It is always outside and no corrosion yet. We picked this particular model and style because of the price and it's supposed to withstand corrosion.

I have left mine outside for almost a year now, with no corrosion visible. I am very satisfied, and will buy 2 more pretty soon.

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.

The one I purchased has been outside on patio for 7 months. It has not rusted.

Absolutely none and my service for 16 is in daily use. I'm sure I have over exposed it to water on occassion -- but no rust. Love it.

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.

Hummm, I don't think it will survive the rust! Maybe if you spray a coat of rust proofing!

I would not leave it exposed to weather. It will eventually show corrosion.

No. I purchased mine several months ago. The female part stays outdoors all the time - no rust yet. This is a wonderfully strong system. Buy it!

It won't rust for at least 5-10 years because it is galvanized steel...we are loving ours! Definitely recommend it!

Usually there is some protection under the eves. As far as I can see, this unit is quite well made and well painted. I suspect you would get 10 - 12 years before rust would show.

Yes, I believe it would rust over time. But, if you painted the roof and other outside of cage areas with a rustoleum type paint, that might give it a longer life.

I had it outside all Summer and it didn't show any signs of rust. I did put it away for the Winter.

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.

I'm not sure. Mine is outside and we've had a lot of rain.....so far no rust.
