Hot dipped galvanized ain't just for under paint imo.........I did 100's of feet of outdoor railing with the sample shown, 3/4'' sq, forged, twisted, fabbed into rail then galved. A gun blue/black spray to darken, steel wool buff then a bronze collar and forget it.

Looks nice, Bruce. Anything that doesn't look like Indital is good with me!~ There's a paradox with galvanizing. Here in the NW, it's almost twice as cheap as powdercoating or paint yet the finish last tens of times longer. I'd put it on everything exterior if I could.

I used galv with a patina on this sculpture.

In Scotland they are called "Stair Rods"
In Danoon I was often told "Have another pint jimmy, it's raining stair rods"
