Any harm in pressure washing galvanized tower’s, or steel bases, masts etc ?
I have bird crap and stuff on some portions of mine.   Mine is just a small 
electric
one... but its capable of ripping the paint off of wooden steps  etc, if  too 
close
or wrong attachment wand used.

If the pressure washer removes any galvanizing, it was already loose and likely rusting. A good thing about pressure washing a tower, You'll likely find any hidden rust. I can cut 2 X 4s in two with mine although the edges are a tad ragged. Not exactly what you'd want for furniture building<:-))

It would save a lot of time, but I don’t  want to damage the galvanized  
surface etc.
The idea was to use just enough pressure to clean it  without  damaging things.
I suppose I could use a soft nylon brush and soap and water too...then rinse.

later... Jim   VE7RF
