What Hinges


putting doors on a shed. The shed is on the shore by the dock. Even though it close to salt water is there really a need to have stainless hinges?

Re: What Hinges


I guess that depends if you want to get 3 years or 12 out of 'em.

I'd go with the stainless.

Stanley makes a stainless T hinge for 12 dollars each. I use them on decks even not by the ocean. Why not.

Re: What Hinges


anything near saltwater should be stainless. Anything else just doesn't stand a chance
