Is 316 Stainless Steel Necessary for an Outdoor Sink?

Not every outdoor sink needs the same material, but 316 stainless steel is the material we'd start with when choosing a sink for an exposed outdoor area, especially if you live near the coast. 

The most important part is that the sink is specifically rated or marketed for outdoor use. We wouldn't assume an indoor stainless steel sink is suitable for an alfresco kitchen.

See Buildmat's outdoor sink range and check the individual product specification before ordering.
