Outdoor hooks take a beating, so they need to be made for it. Mine are cut from steel and finished for outdoor life, so they hold up by the back door, the pool, the deck or the garden shed without rusting out. Here's how to choose outdoor wall hooks that last.
Back doors and porches for coats and dog leads, pool and spa areas for towels, decks and patios, garden sheds and glasshouses, and outdoor showers. Anywhere you'd normally reach for a plastic hook, a steel one looks better and lasts far longer.
For exposed spots, and especially near the coast or a pool, go for marine-grade stainless or powder-coated finishes. Marine-grade stainless handles salt and chlorine, and powder-coated black or white stays sharp in the sun. Corten works too if you like a weathered look in the garden.
A row of hooks by the pool or back door keeps wet towels, togs and jackets off the ground. Space them out so a few people can use them at once, and mount them at a height everyone can reach.
Simple, sculptural forms suit outdoors, single hooks for a neat row or a set as a feature. Many double as a small piece of outdoor art, which beats standard hardware.
Each hook has pre-cut holes to screw to the wall or fence. The right fixing depends on your surface, so I don't include screws, and my installation guide covers timber, block, brick and plaster.

Marine-grade stainless or powder-coated steel. Both are made to handle rain, sun and salt, so they won't rust or fade outside. Corten is a good option for a weathered garden look.
Yes. A row of marine-grade stainless or powder-coated hooks is ideal for towels and togs by a pool or spa, and stands up to chlorine and salt.
Not the right ones. Marine-grade stainless and powder-coated finishes are made for outdoor life. An occasional rinse of fresh water keeps salt from building up.

Every one, cut and finished in Auckland from quality NZ steel.
