Sunshine Coast Galvanising

Steel components exposed to the elements are vulnerable to rust, corrosion, and costly damage if not properly treated. At On The Spot Steel Fabrication on the Sunshine Coast, we offer galvanising as a reliable solution to protect steelwork and extend its service life.


Galvanising involves applying a zinc coating to the steel surface, creating a tough barrier that prevents moisture and oxygen from reaching the metal underneath. With this process, we help reduce maintenance needs and keep structural steel, posts, beams, stair stringers, gates, and screens performing well. We provide galvanising for both domestic and commercial projects, ensuring durable, long-lasting results.

Strong Zinc Coating for Corrosion Resistance

We protect steelwork with galvanising because it delivers excellent corrosion resistance across a wide range of applications. This method involves dipping steel components into molten zinc, which forms a metallurgical bond with the base metal.


The zinc coating provides both a physical barrier and cathodic protection, meaning even small scratches or damage won’t compromise the steel underneath. Galvanising is particularly effective for outdoor structures, coastal environments, and high-moisture areas where rust is a common problem.


Our team applies this protective process to beams, posts, brackets, and other fabricated steel items, helping builders and homeowners achieve longer-lasting, low-maintenance results. With galvanising in place, steel components stay protected and perform reliably over time, reducing the risk of costly repairs or replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is galvanising and how does it work?

    Galvanising is a process where a zinc coating is applied to steel or iron to prevent rust and corrosion. This is typically done through hot-dip galvanising, where steel components are submerged in molten zinc. The zinc forms a metallurgical bond with the steel, creating a durable protective barrier that shields the metal from moisture and oxygen exposure.

  • Why is galvanising important for steel?

    Galvanising is crucial for steel because it protects the material from rust, corrosion, and surface damage, especially in outdoor or high-moisture environments. The zinc coating acts as both a physical shield and a sacrificial layer, meaning it corrodes before the steel does. This process significantly extends the lifespan of steel structures and reduces long-term maintenance costs.

  • How long does galvanised steel last?

    The lifespan of galvanised steel depends on environmental factors, coating thickness, and exposure conditions. In dry, rural environments, galvanised coatings can last more than 50 years, while in coastal or industrial areas, they may last 20 to 25 years. Regular inspection and cleaning help maintain the coating and ensure maximum protection over time.
