The very first bit of the weld will spatter a bit, but the zinc will burn off ahead of the weld and it will hold just fine. If it were airplane parts, I'd put more effort into it, but for stakes, clamp and burn will do just fine... 2007 / 2008 Coon 2 Grinners 2 Skunk 1 Muskrat 1 Feral Cat 1

If you're concerned about getting sick from welding galvanizing, just string the washers on a piece of #9 wire or something similar and toss them in a bonfire or wood stove and burn the galvanizing off that way. As with welding, just stay upwind while they flash-off. Pretty simple!! "A few want to know WHY, the majority appear to be satisfied just knowing HOW!" Youtube Channel- SeldomFales
