Galvanization is the process whereby steel is dipped in a molten zinc bath to create a tough corrosion-resistant coating. All our chain link fence is not only galvanized but the process is performed after the fence is weaved into its final form. Other companies may use steel that is galvanized prior to weaving in order to save money. Because the zinc coating scratches off during weaving, however, this makes for an inferior product that can quickly rust, especially in climates such as South Florida.
