The Structural Backbone: Rigorous 4-Step Finish
Bradford Built ensures their steel beds stand the test of time and severe weather. Every steel Cattleman bed is put through a rigorous 4-step paint process that includes blast media cleaning, an acid etching wash, a high-quality primer, and a thick powder-coat top layer. This meticulous process provides incredible rust resistance and allows Bradford Built to back the Cattleman with an industry-leading 3-year paint warranty.
