So, I want to fasten things together outside where they will see all the weather that is there. In order to be able to disassemble the components years later, I use stainless steel bolts and nuts that I buy from Fastenal. Sounds good to me, but guess what? The threads gall when I have to take an assembly apart just a few months after they are installed! Almost every bolt has this problem. Smarter now, I have heard that "you can't do that"! You can use stainless steel bolts, but with plain steel plated nuts, for instance.
My question: To those of you who know what I'm talking about, what other solutions do you use?
