Galvanized
Commonly known as hot-dipped galvanized, this is a process that is used to apply a coat of zinc to steel. This process is similar to Electro-galvanized which is when the zinc is applied to the steel through electroplating. Hot dipping will give much better corrosion resistance because the zinc coating will be much thicker than with the electro-galvanized process and consequently often a better product for outdoor applications.
