FWIW, I went to the Sonex workshop 10 years ago. As part of the experience, you build a wing section. I took the thing home and mounted it on a pole in my backyard (20 miles northwest of Philadelphia PA). Not a bit of corrosion.
Now the test piece I put in the sump in the basement is another story - I have a water softener that discharges salty water into it.

You have had a random piece of airplane up on a pole in your yard for 10 years, and your neighbors did not complain. I want to live in your neighborhood.

Why in the world would your neighbors complain about that?
