The Answer is Hot Dipped Galvanizing:

A hot dip galvanised coating is formed by a metallurgical reaction between molten zinc and suitably cleaned steel. Should the steel not be suitably cleaned the chemical reaction will not take place. Hot dip galvanising for this reason is known as the ‘honest’ coating, ‘if it looks good it is good,’ says Terry Smith of the Hot Dip Galvanisation Association.

The durability of a hot dip galvanised coating is determined by the degree of corrosion of metallic zinc in a specific environment and the thickness of the coating. Corrosion of zinc is normally uniform, thus durability of a hot dip galvanised coating is predictable in most applications.
