Is this chain really rust-proof for saltwater use?

Yes, it's made from Grade 316 stainless steel, which is specifically engineered to resist rust and corrosion from saltwater, chemicals, and harsh environments. That's why it's ideal for marine applications like boat mooring or coastal installations.

How much weight can this 6mm chain hold?

This 6mm chain has a working load of approximately 265 kg for one style and 250 kg for another, making it strong enough for heavy-duty tasks. Always refer to the product code for exact specs, but it's reliable for anchoring, load restraint, or structural support.

Can I use this for securing my garden gate or outdoor equipment?

Absolutely! Its corrosion resistance and durability make it perfect for outdoor security, such as gates, fences, or locking up equipment. Plus, the polished finish gives it a clean look that blends well in various settings.

What's the best way to maintain this chain over time?

Maintenance is straightforward—just clean it with soap and water or sanitize it as needed. Since it's naturally stain-resistant and requires no additional coatings, it stays in great condition with minimal effort.

I see there are two 6mm options; which one should I choose?

Both are 6mm thick, but they have different inside dimensions and weights per meter. The working loads are similar, so select based on your project's space requirements or compatibility with existing hardware.
