Steel Storage
A common steel bar that comes in different shapes and sizes are made from unfinished tempered steel and is prone to rusting.
When left unprotected, steel will immediately react to moisture and air to form rust. There are several factors like how much steel is exposed, whether any protective coating is applied, or how long steel was exposed to elements will determine the severity of rusting.
It’s not difficult to determine whether steel is beginning to rust. If rusting is ignored, it will eventually render the material useless as it is not allowed to use rusted steel in construction because of its integrity and risky outcomes if used. Storing steel is essential no matter what kind of project you are undertaking.
Various methods are implemented such as painting, bluing, galvanization, and other forms of protection to prevent a metal from rusting.
Rust causes millions of dollars of damage every year and billions of dollars are spent to repair the damage, or to inhibit it thus adding extra expenditures for the maintenance of steel.
Rusting can be easily prevented, one less expensive way of protecting your steel is the use of coverings like Tarps. To minimize exposure, cover the steel with a thick protective tarp and have it secured in place with cinder blocks or something similarly heavy, place this at the edges and corners, this way you can minimize unnecessary exposure of steel to air plus the waterproof tarp will protect the steel underneath from moisture.
