Opinions on galvanized wire w/o Serving

[Brion Toss]

Hello,
Galvanized wire is stronger, stretches less, fatigues less quickly, etc. , but as was pointed out above it's just hard to get in good quality any more. Was the wire you saw 7x19? This is far more readily available than 7x7 or 1x19 in galvanized, and it corrodes exponentially faster. But even with good galvanizing, service is the way to go.
Fair leads,
Brion Toss
