Salt air and spring steel in Baytown
Corrosion attacks the spring where the coils touch, raising friction and consuming cycle life well short of the rated count — which is why Baytown springs average 7–9 years, about 0.7 years below comparable inland towns.
Specify galvanised springs here. They cost roughly 10 percent more and are the difference between a spring that ages and a spring that rusts.
