The majority of Behrens products are made of Galvanized Sheet Steel:

  • Bright-Shiny appearance, which is preferred whenever appearance is important
  • Resist the elements-won’t oxidize
  • Made in the US

Behrens also offers select steel products in Hot Dipped Zinc:

  • Seen as slightly more durable
  • Will oxidize; a look acceptable and traditional in farm/ag products
  • Behrens pails and round tubs available in both galvanized and hot dipped
  • Oval tubs and “Classic” watering cans are hot dipped
