Ok all you Metallurgy experts, plan on installing a Stainless Steel railing
around my deck, the vertical posts will also be made of Stainless Steel which will hold the glass panels in place.
Our weather in BC Canada is hot and dry with occasional rain in the summer and definitely have snow in the winter, no where am I near a salt water ocean.
Do I use 304 Stainless Steel or would you recommend 316 Stainless Steel.
I know if money was not a factor 316 S.S. would be the way to go but it is and 316 is about 35-40% higher in cost. Will I have rust problems or discoloration
if I use the cheaper 304S.S.

Thanks for all the advice in advance
