Probably not all that expensive.. It's some small number of cents per pound 
(actually, they'll quote it in dollars/hundredweight) of whatever they're 
dipping into the tank of molten zinc.  I forgot what we paid 7 years ago, 
when I had some welded structures galvanized, but it's just not that 
expensive.  (I'm thinking in the $20/hundredweight range) Think of it this 
way... It's got to be a LOT less than the selling cost of the tower 
section, or tower mfrs couldn't afford to do it as part of a manufacturing 
process.


Check the yellow pages for "galvanizing" and call around.
