Galvanising Steel

Steel seems the most appropriate and realistic material for the design. If I am using steel then I need to look at where in the UK it is possible to galvanise steel and what are the specifications for this. This will ensure that the steel is corrosionand weather-proof for many years to come. I have looked at possible locations in the East Midlands.

I need to keep in mind the size of the bath as the final piece will need to be able to fit into this space. I have also emailed each company requesting rough costings on galvanising.
