Anyone know how a stainless steel catering table will handle being stored outside as a BBQ table etc? How does stainless react to moisture etc when permanently left outside?

I'm still not certain if it would look good, or awful, but I'd intend to keep it covered when not in use. I'll maybe cut a circular hole in one end to fit my Weber BBQ into, and can use the other end for my Ooni pizza oven.

Something like this but on castors..

As long as you clean with a brillo pad it will be fine. The legs will get rust marks but those will scrub off and the aluminium feet will need an occasional clean but thats about it.

I've got one down the side of the house, been the 5+ years and scrubs up like new ready for BBQ season. In fact I might drag it out this weekend, jet wash and brillo will be like new in 10 mins.
Thanks, good to hear they last well outside. I'll keep searching for the right one, preferably 700mm deep to take my Ooni oven.

Thanks for the replies, gives me something to think about.
I would prefer a lip on the back edge fo the table to stop stuff rolling off, and ideally 700mm deep, which some catering tables are, but most are 600mm.

Cutting out a circle to drop my Weber in will have to be considered further, don't want heat from the BBQ transferring to the metal table top. Would have to be a buffer gap around the edge of the BBQ.
