Once you move away from plastic bench seating rust will always be an issue, stainless steel seating will be the best option though this is very expensive and is not completely rust free.

Most steel seating that is sold as wet specification will rely on plating the best being zinc plating. The plating to make it effective should be done after the seating has been welded. This method relies on the seating then being painted the best being Plascoat a non-brittle form of epoxy powder coating. Plascote reduces chipping and cracking of the painted surface.

Seating slats the best product for wet areas are compact grade laminate such as Formica or Arpa this material will not rot or degrade easily by chlorine or water and is very hard wearing.

Ash slats are effective as long as water is not directly being sprayed directly on the slats, this seating material is as good as the varnish applied.
