Looks like DD has updated the web page with materials... The "chains are zinc coated" and the rest is "electrophoresed first and then powder coated for extra protection from natural elements."
When it comes to longevity, a fully galvanized basket is going to stand up much longer than one with just powder coated steel. The DGA Mach II is the only portable basket that is fully galvanized, built to last and comes with a 20-year warranty. It is priced not much higher than the DD Recruit basket, but you get so much more for your money!
