These galvanized flat bars will be dipped in full lengths.  Cutting of this stock will result in the breaking of the galvanized finish and this should be retreated with some type zinc rich paint to protected the unfinished face.   If you require certain special lengths for your flat bar please be sure to specify your requirements prior to placing your order and we can send you cut flat bars away for Hot Dip Galvanizing after cutting.
