Bridges and Bars......

I can't begin to tell how many guys have been asking about bars that can be installed outdoors and able to stand the test of the weather extremes. The reality is that most products on the market are NOT made to withstand the elements of long term, sustained exposure outdoors.

Powder coated or other painted finishes are what is most commonly used and often described as weather proof. However, a couple years down the road, and the paint is chipping and rust is coming through......just like my black, wrought iron patio furniture. The painted finishes are just that; painted finishes.

So, Steelfit set out to find an alternative that would stand up to the test of time and the most extreme conditions possible. The steel industry's most durable solution, metalizing, is a substitute for painting steel that protects steel for decades longer than paint alone. This is a proven process, which has been used around the world for 90 years. Metalizing is the most versatile and effective coating available today for protecting mega steel structures, such as bridges and other exterior steel surfaces subject to the most extreme weather conditions.

Metalizing is a process by which a metallic coating is deposited onto a surface. Aluminum or zinc is sprayed onto a blast cleaned steel surface to form a protective coating. The metalized coating is both a barrier and a galvanic coating, which protects steel for 30 years or longer. Sealers and paint topcoats may be applied over the sprayed metal. The combined materials protect the underlying steel better than any of the materials.

Bottom line....there is no stronger or more durable finish and paint industry has been unable to counter with a painted only solution that compares in any way.

Introduced this month on the Steelfitstore.com, our wall mount bars and new Free Standing Bar are both available in a optional metalized finish.......serious durability for guys serious about bars.

So what does your STEELFIT pull up bar have in common with bridges around the country? They are built for long term durability and are finished in a top coat that is designed to withstand the elements....and then some. Bridges and Bars.....very cool!
