  • Maintenance: Visual inspection; recoat chips/scratches.

Hot‑Dip Galvanized

  • Pros: Excellent corrosion resistance; durable zinc layer inside & out.
  • Cons: Higher cost; longer lead time; silver/grey aesthetic.
  • Maintenance: Minimal; inspect for mechanical damage.

Lead Times & Paperwork
