The Challenge
The conditions in coastal areas (those locations about 500 meters from a beach or shoreline ) challenge the use of traditional materials such as steel, galvanized steel, stainless steel, and wood.
Due to high humidity levels, winds, salty water, and wind-blown sand, even the best coated or galvanized materials may suffer the effects of corrosion in a relatively short time.
Corrosion most often starts in welding points or around screws when the protective anti-corrosion layer weakens or becomes damaged (during installation or general use).
