After the steel has been hot-dip galvanized it can be powder coated, which gives the structure additional protection as well as giving you the choice between nearly 200 different RAL colours. The powder coating itself contains no solvents and is applied electrostatically using advances nozzles. The process has been developed in Norway in order for the oil rigs to cope with the North Sea, but we use it for our furniture to make them capable to handle the outdoors and any kind of weather.
