STEEL STRUCTURES
Most steel structures are hot dip galvanised to EN ISO 1461. The expected life of such a treatment varies depending upon its exposure. Should the galvanising break down, due to local damage, it can be remedied by thorough cleaning (e.g. wire brushing, needle gun chipping) and treatment with zinc rich paint.

ALUMINIUM STRUCTURES
Aluminium will quickly develop a white surface coating which is not detrimental to the structure. It need not be remedied other than for aesthetic reasons. In the event of structural damage, it is usually necessary to take the affected item/items to a covered workshop to carry out welded repairs.
