The LakeEze Ladder’s aluminum ladder and handrail design with stainless steel hardware and brass nuts, are all rust-resistant when used correctly. All metals oxidize; however, unlike other metals, aluminum performs extremely well in water. When used in saltwater applications, it is highly recommended to remove from water when not in use since saltwater corrodes metals more quickly.
We also highly recommend adding one of our LakeEze Universal Zinc/Saltwater Add-On Kits to protect and prolong the lifespan of your LakeEze accessories in saltwater environments. The LakeEze Universal Zinc/Saltwater Add-On Kit is designed to provide superior protection by installing a zinc washer on your LakeEze products. Zinc significantly slows down the corrosion process by preventing moisture from reaching the base metal. By corroding approximately 100 times slower than other metals, zinc acts as a durable shield for your LakeEze accessories. Even if the underlying metal becomes exposed, the zinc washer continues to protect it from corrosion through its galvanic protection properties. This not only prolongs the lifespan of your accessories but also ensures they remain functional and visually appealing for years to come.
