Do you know when to use stainless steel for your building project? If you are building within 1km of breaking surf, you should be using 316 stainless steel, anywhere between 1km and 10km of breaking surf, 304 stainless steel is what you need. Further than 10km from water? Then galvanised products will work for you. Check out the map below that outlines all the restrictions.
