I thought about water getting into the channel and rusting either the channel or the bolts too. I didn't think the channel would end of being a big deal because of the nice big holes the tension rods go through.

I could use a stainless or galvanized bolt, but it's my understanding that neither are as strong as a grade 5 bolt.
