Hot-dip-Galvanizing vs. Electrogalvanizing

What is the better method for exterior applications of structural steel components, such as plates, pipes, bolts? Thanks

Hot dipped coatings are usually much much thicker than electrogalvanized coatings and therefore far more protective, Mahmood. But you probably should be specifying the zinc thinkness. Good luck.
