Surely you mean hot dipped galvanised?

Painted to protect it from acid and sulphides in rain, that should last
for ever.
Not totally sure about coated ally, having had two Land Rovers.


'Well we tried to cold dip it, but encountered some resistance'

Galv is good but no hope of it lasting a century, let alone several.

Dunno re that, was looking at some steelwork been in use 70 years looked
mint the steel underneath. They might have better coatings these days
anyway!...
