Butterfly Conservatory

The galvanizer worked with 70 tons (64 tonnes) of precisely fabricated support structure steel. The galvanized steel was uniquely coated with primer and painted with a moisture-cured urethane coating, extending the life of the structure. Holding 2,000 butterflies of over 200 species, the $15 million Butterfly Conservatory in Ontario is the focal point of a facility dedicated to the rearing of butterflies and the education and entertainment of the public.

Over half a million people have enjoyed the tropical butterfly-haven since it's opening in mid-1997. Thanks to hot-dip galvanizing's low maintenance and long-lasting corrosion prevention, the Conservatory will be preserved for generations to come.
