Zinc plating longevity depends on:
Thickness
Hot-dip: 1.0 mil (50+ years) • Electroplated: 0.2 mil (10-20 years)
Environment
Rural: 50-100 years • Coastal: 20-50 years • Industrial: 20-40 years
Maintenance
Regular inspection extends lifespan significantly
Note: Zinc acts as sacrificial anode, corroding before the base steel rusts.
