Weathering Steel Instructions

All our rusting garden art is manufactured from Australian Made weathering steel. This type of material will rust for the first 6 months to 1 year when left out in the weather.

It will then naturally develop a barrier to stop the material from rusting through completely. As the rust develops, patterns will emerge making your piece a unique artwork.

Care and Maintenance

The product you receive in your packaging is a clean cut artwork, there will be no visible rust. The weathering steel is coated with a fine layer of oil to help protect the material in storage,so it may delay the rust process once you place it outside.

You can hurry the rust process along by washing your piece down with soapy water and you should start to see the rust developing within 24-72 hours. If the rust is not showing, simply repeat the process. There is no need to clean this product, we consider any minor variations or marks a characteristic of the artwork.

YOUR ARTWORK WILL DRIP RUST FOR THE FIRST 6 MONTHS TO 1 YEAR OR WHEN THE RUST IS DISTURBED, 
SO PLEASE TAKE CAUTION AS TO WHERE YOU PLACE THE PIECE AS IT MAY LEAVE RUST MARKS ON FLOORS,
WALLS AND OTHER POROUS SURFACES.
