I'm the one who galvanized my deck. The advantage over metallizing is that it is immersed in the molten zinc, so the zinc gets into all the crannies that spray won't reach. And since the steel is as hot as the zinc, it makes a better bond. Check your yellow pages or Google for a local shop. They are not all that rare.
