Hi Jeff,
If they stay uncovered I would say some rust is normal, yes. BUT! Do this:
Spray each bolt and nut with a liberal coating of WD40. Then make some caps to
cover them out of short lengths of PVC and PVC caps of the appropriate size
that will fit over the bolt/nut. Respray twice a year; at least it won't get
any worse. I did this from the get -go and no rust on mine so far.
