Coating Weight (Mass) will effect life span of the product. Although the rate of corrosion can considerably very depending on the environmental factors, in most instances, the life of the zinc coating is a linear function of coating weight (mass) for any specific environment. That means, to achieve twice the life for any specific application, the user should use twice the coating weight (mass).
When comparing AmeriTrellis Galvanized posts to other Galvanized posts, be certain to ask suppliers and distributors to provide specifications of the ACTUAL coating weight.
