Answer These are different descriptions for a part. Tubular Steel describes the shape. Steel can be ordered in different sizes and shapes and material properties. Tubular Steel is one type of shape and the process for making the tube will cause the properties for that steel to be slightly different. Galvanized Steel describes a type of finish that protects the steel from corrosion. This process alters the surface of the steel that keeps it protected and thus can be used for construction where it is exposed to the elements. I'm sure you can order a steel tube that has a galvanized finish. Many chain-link fences are made from galvanized steel, including the round posts. Custermen
