Welded joints, mounting bolts, and any point where the protective coating has chipped from repeated gate swinging or accidental impact are the most common starting points for rust on DFW metal railings and gates.
Storm Season Is the Highest-Risk Period
Sustained humidity combined with spring storm rainfall can develop surface rust quickly on metal with an existing coating breach. Checking gates and railings for chip points before spring storm season begins is a simple, effective preventive step.
