The number one concern most folks have about an iron fence is rusting. The problem is that a lot of companies throw out a few vague terms you don’t know and assume you won’t ask questions. Even worst, some sites don’t really specify what type (if any) rust protection they have. Galvanization is a time-honored and great way to protect iron and steel from rust. Lots of fence makers will utilize e-coatings to minimize rust. While they can be effective, it is a thinner coating. We prefer hot-dip galvanization for our parts because it encapsulates every surface of the piece inside and out.
