Do I need stainless hardware?

[71por914]

Hi, I we are getting ready do a semi-burry AG pool if the backhoe guy ever has time, should I be concerned about the yellow zinc plated screws and bolts? I thought I read somewhere that the hardware is first to rust out. I am also considering a SWG.
thanks

Stainless is much better. I try to use it for anything outside that I need to last a long time. Galvanized is also an option depending on what it's for.
