Galvanized steel is a sturdy construction material for outdoor furniture. Picnic table frames and bench legs can be made with galvanized steel, as the zinc coating will prevent their corroding when exposed to inclement weather. Galvanized steel tubing is hollow and is thus relatively light, making it an ideal material for outdoor chairs and stools, as well.
Galvanized steel tubing can be used as a landscaping border material. Stacked tubing can be welded together to form a border between a garden and lawn area, or to act as a frame for a raised garden bed. It can additionally be used to construct arbors and trellises for climbing plants and vines.
Indoor furniture constructed of galvanized steel tubing is sturdy and durable. This makes it a useful material for constructing furniture for heavily trafficked areas, such as cafeteria tables and benches in commercial areas. It can also be used in the home, with unfinished galvanized steel lending an industrial air.
Hand railings and guard rails need to be durable and sturdy under a variety of weather conditions. This makes galvanized steel tubing an appropriate choice for these types of safety installations. Galvanized steel railings can be left unfinished or painted, and require minimal upkeep, making them ideal for safety installations in commercial or public areas.
