Hard to imagine that the square would rust in a desert environment unless
you left it outside. That's when I have the most problems with my stuff.
Or, I leave it there with the intention of returning the next day, then
don't. Now, I try to put things up daily. I, too, live in the desert, in
Las Vegas. And yes, stuff rusts or corrodes if you leave it out.

Other than that, I'd just use light oil, like a 5-20 wiped on there, and
bring them in at night or when it rains.

I live in Vegas near Pecos/Trop. The only time I have a problem with stuff
is when I forget and leave it out.
