Service life = 1.5 to 2.3 (life expectancy of hot dip galvanized + life expectancy of powder coat)
Typically galvanized gives you 25 years of maintenance free life and powder coat gives you 7 years of maintenance free life, you could expect a duplex system life expectancy of 48 to 73 years. The life expectancy and multiplier is dependent on environmental conditions.
