A while back, I read that galvanized metal protects against rust, and that hot-dip galvanized goes a step further by helping protect against the corrosive chemicals in pressure-treated lumber. So, I'm at Home Depot this morning and a staff member is adamantly telling me all their lag screws and bolts are hot-dipped galvanized...even though some of them are labeled "galvanized" while others say "HDG".
Was I a sucker for believing what I read? Or was this guy blowing smoke up my chimeney?
