Explore the secrets of electrogalvanization and zinc for maximum impact
The barnstar in the photo below is secured to the building’exterior brick facade using a threaded rod, washer, and a 3/4″ nut. This hardware holds the star in tension to resist the lateral defection of the wall. Ferrous exterior hardware should always be galvanized (or properly coated) to resist ocmxidation, and our company recommends the use of hot dipped galvanized materials over electrogalvanized materials in most exterior applications.
In this case, this barnstar is used to support the wall and resist lateral deflection.
