Galvanized steel is not inherently waterproof, but it does have a degree of corrosion resistance that can help protect it from moisture. Galvanization is a process in which a layer of zinc is applied to the surface of the steel to create a protective barrier against rust and corrosion.
While galvanized steel can withstand exposure to water and moisture better than untreated steel, it is not completely impervious to water. Over time, the zinc coating can wear off or become damaged, exposing the underlying steel to potential corrosion. Therefore, it is important to take additional measures, such as proper maintenance and protection, to ensure long-term water resistance.
If you require a material that is specifically designed to be waterproof, you may want to consider alternatives such as stainless steel or materials with specialized waterproof coatings.
