Electro galvanizing Versus Hot Dip

2003

We are erecting a boundary fence of wrought iron around our estate. The question is which method of galvanizing the wrought iron bars is best for the fence in the tropical climate that we experience in Singapore. Is it (a) electroplating (b) hot dip

Thanks,

Hot dip; it's no contest because the hot dip coating is thicker.
