PowerNet Baseball Softball Batting Tee

I noticed the paint looked puffy on one of the legs and upon inspecting closer i noticed it to be the type of paint puffiness that's caused when there is rust building up underneath.I lightly scraped at it to confirm, and it does have a big spot of rust, 4 INCHES OF PUFFY PAINT/ RUST.It actually has more rust than the old one i have that's all busted up, weathered and that has gone through very heavy use and abuse, I've had it for a bit over 3 years and the paint hasn't puffed up or chipped or anything anywhere.So yeah... this "new and improved" batting tee is probably going to be legless withing a year if i treated VEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERY gently and carefully and pamper it and brush it and oil it and stay on top of it painting it and who knows what other nonsense that a paying customer shouldn't have to go through.
