I didn't think galvanized could be welded because of fumes or something like that.

It can be welded, you just have to stick weld it. It makes a nasty looking weld, and a nastier gas. I don't know if it will serve your purpose in that the weld can't be ground down to completely smooth without weakening the joint.
Hope this helps

Galvanized does look pretty bad when welding with a 220 arc welder. Maybe oxy-acetilene(sp?) would work better on galvanized.

Don't weld galvenise, it releases toxic fumes.
If you do, tig or mig would be fine.
