Despite the description, there seems to be some confusion whether this is galvanized or zinc.Which is it? Thanks

It is Electrogalvanized (zinc plated) not hot dip galvanized so it is shiny but will rust more easily.

It appears to be galvanized....I have to store my boat outside and this has not rusted or corroded. It has only been exposed to fresh water.

I believe that these are aluminum. If not they are galvanized. I have experienced no rusting in the year we have had them.

No it is not. It's a non-ferrous metal, like gold or copper. Seems to work good. Been running it in my system and haven't done a water change yet, I suppose I should:( Everything looks good, no algae. Hope that helped.

I have used it on various range stove components and BBQ components and it has held up great. I'm not sure about galvanized, but it has worked well on everything I have used it on.

The nut & insert are brass, the clamp is zinc. I bought these specifically because of the too common, aluminum gold anodized that stores seem to have accepted as the "new" standard. They seem to think cheaper is better without thinking!

The item is made of steel and hot dipped int Zinc. The process is called galvanizing and makes the watering can rustproof...just like the 40 quart cans that milk is transported in.

It is galvanized but I don't know the guage, and I'm not sure how to find out. I discarded the packaging that may have had the guage.

Yes. It is thin gauge galvanized steel. I ordered mine because it was hard to find in the local retail stores, and I got tired of looking.

Yes, make sure the surface is clean. If the zinc coating is smooth it will need to be roughed up to 80 grit

I can safely say they are galvanized "metal". Not sure about steel verses tin or aluminum, but they are definitely metal and I would suggest that they are unlikely to burn under normal circumstances.

Product description says it is make of durable galvanized steel. I don't know about withstanding high heat. Product description uses include bird seed, pet food, grass seed...nothing about withstanding heat.

I have a bad experience of such items in past. All the galvanized ones are soft and flexible. They can lift the weight, but cannot stay bent to hold in a hook form.Worse than that, this particular purchase never arrived at my home. I waited for four months. Thanks for asking the question which led me track this order and find that the seller shipped it to a different address and I never received it.

I am not sure if the screws are galvanized but so far there is no rusting. It also is relatively steady. I use it to help walk over a 6 inch elevated wall on my terrace that I can't remove, with one ramp on each side. There is a gritty paint layer on the walking surface which helps against slipping. You should be aware that the paint job on these is terrible. The yellow paint on the sides started peeling off soon after I got it and was not painted on properly. The black part was painted over the yellow side rails in spots. It looks like it was painted by someone who didn't give a damn about the quality of the work they were doing. I sent one back due to the black part having waves in it from poorly done brush strokes, and the new one was a little bit better but still not ideal. The reason I kept them was this was the only ramp I could find that was adjustable, relatively inexpensive, that would work for my particular situation. Despite the paint issues, they do work well, but if you order one you may need to send it back if the quality is not up to your standards.

Sorry but I did'nt know there were different kinds of zinc. The bottle does'nt say what kind. I had to stop using it bcause it made me constipated ( the calcium) and sometimes I felt nausea taking it. Good luck.

I cannot say for certain, but it looks like chrome to me. It is not zinc and is smoother and shinier than stainless steel. It works for me. Scarlett Z

I have one, and I am not sure. It is stamped "made in China" and in the crevices of some of the seams there is a tiny bit of rusting after 20 or so washings/air dry. The 'wand' that you turn seems galvanized, but there are no markings to depict the type of metal. However, it is magnetic- which suggests tin covered steel (tin can composite).
