What is galvanized metal? Galvanization is the leading method to protect metals, usually steel and iron, from environmental elements that cause corrosion, rust, and the eventual weakening of the steel. Galvanizing involves bonding a protective zinc metal coating to a thicker metal base. 1, record 1, English, - galvanized%20metal

The post is then guyed with a strong galvanized wire, one end of which is fastened to the post 0, 3 m(1 ft) from the top and the other to an anchor 1 m(3 ft) from the post.
