Default Galvanized Vs Stainless Steel

Stainless Steel is NO Doubt the BEST. (Forgetting Cost) HOWEVER: If you use SS....Use ALL Stainless Steel. IF you use Galvanized..use ALL Galvanized. If you MIX the two you may regret it.

I won't go into "HOW It Works". If you combine 100 links of galvanized chain with...One link of SS chain...not much will happen. If you combine 100 links of SS Chain with ONE link of Galvanized chain...the Galvanized LINK will dissolve quickly....It has to do with comparative surface area of the disparate metals.

If you have property ON The Lake... you are NOT POOR and can afford the Stainless Steel. PAY THE MAN.....DO IT.

When doing ALL Stainless. DO NOT use Galvanized anywhere. NB
