Weather Resistant Drawer Slides

[dlu]

I'm working on some outdoor storage drawers, the existing KV 8505P Anochrome drawer slides haven't held up well at all -- lots of rust and very stiff action.

Any suggestions for a 100# plus rated slide that can handle being outside in the Pacific NW (USA)? I've been looking at the ones carried by my usual supplied (HDL) and they have a KV 6400 slide in stainless steel, but it's only rated at 75# and I think the drawers might end up with a good bit more than that in them (like several 5 gallon buckets of fertilizer). They also have some stainless slides from Sugatsune (ESR-DC4513-26) that are rated at 90#.

304 stainless is not all that great for your situation. I don’t know of any 316 stainless slides.

Hi, accruide makes heavy duty commercial  dishwasher slides, or try marine boating supply.

And very nice looking ones at that, but the price is kind of breathtaking -- $286.19 (list) for 26" slides.

I just googled “drawer slides, Marine applications.”  Lots of choices.

I've tried that, but a lot of the "results" aren't actually suitable for use in corrosive environments or are light duty (< 50 KG / 100#), I think I found a few scam sites as well. Digging through your links to see if there are any good ones. Thanks!
