Galvanisers charge you weighbridge weight after it’s galvanised, i.e the black steel weight plus the zinc that’s added in the process.

Poor venting will increase the amount of zinc picked over and above that required for protection, increasing the weight and therefore the cost!

The needless additional cost for engineering companies can range anywhere from 3% to 8%

The main culprits are holes in the wrong place, too small, too few. Stiffeners, base plates not notched creating traps for zinc.
