Coated in zinc, galvanized steel pipes are protected from oxidation and rust, which ultimately prevents deterioration of the tube. They are a great option when you need to protect your steel tubes from a corrosive environment. The protective quality of galvanized tube is created through a hot-dipping process, where the zinc then provides a protective layer that will rust away before any of the steel is affected. In terms of durability, a galvanized steel tubes can last well over 100 years, depending on the amount of corrosion exposure.

Galvanized tubing maintains a wide range of benefits, suitable for use in highly corrosive environments. The semi-smooth, zinc finish of galvanized steel tubing provides a layer of protection that is not seen in other types of protective materials. The galvanized coating process protects the underlying steel from encountering corrosive elements that could deteriorate the steel and ultimately weaken its structural integrity. Main advantages of galvanized structural pipe include:
