It doesn't matter very much if you paint them or not. They are very unlikely to rust away.

What makes them break is very cold weather usually.

The steel can get very brittle and just snap.

Some have been reported as breaking whilst parked on a driveway overnight. A sudden sharp drop in temperature seems to make them snap.---
