I would bond a zinc block on the inside of each arch..it is what ships use to curb rusting..somehow it absorbs the iron oxide

Scarificial corrosion because the zinc is more reactive.

yes thats quite right:

Sacrificial Zinc Anode

for example..

smart watermen know this fact and employ the use of sacrificial zinc anodes on their zinc-galvanized metal crab pots. With the sacrificial anode attached, the crab pot becomes the cathode. The result is that the anode will corrode (hence "sacrificial") and the crab pot won't. This effectively doubles the life of the crab pot.

So why don't manufacturers fit zinc blocks?
