Materials
Body Materials and Where Each One Suits
- Corten steel, which forms a stable rust patina that protects the material and ages naturally
- Rust finish that develops over time and becomes part of the sculpture’s character
- No paint, coating or sealant applied, so the surface evolves with exposure to weather
- Suitable for outdoor gardens, courtyards, and public green spaces
- Resists further corrosion after the initial patina forms, making it durable long-term
Manufacturing Process
How the Part Is Made
- Scheme design based on the garden site and intended visual effect
- Initial sketch or model developed to match the space and concept
- Corten steel plate cut and shaped into the stele form
- Welds made and allowed to weather in place, so the rust forms uniformly
- Final surface left to develop its natural patina without sealing or coating
- Packed in a wooden crate with inner plastic or foam for transit protection
Quality Control
What Is Checked Before It Ships
- The company states it runs its own professional QC team
- Welds are checked for structural integrity and minimal visibility
- Surface is inspected for uniformity of rust development after weathering
- Packing is verified to protect the surface during shipping
- Final inspection before dispatch ensures the piece meets the customer’s design intent
Customization
What Can Be Changed to Suit You
- Any size to specification; the company states corten steel sculptures are made to custom dimensions

- Welds and joints are designed to be minimal and structurally sound
- Ordered from a photograph or a drawing supplied by the customer
- Base and fixing detail can be worked out to suit the ground type and wind load
Comparison
How It Compares With the Alternatives
| A painted steel stele | Painted steel requires repainting every few years and can chip; corten steel ages naturally and needs no maintenance after the initial patina |
|---|---|
| A mirror polished stainless steel sculpture | Polished steel reflects the environment and shows every mark; corten steel blends into the landscape and hides minor imperfections |
| A fiberglass stele | Fiberglass is lighter and cheaper but cannot develop a natural rust finish and is less durable in outdoor exposure |
| A bronze sculpture | Bronze develops a green patina over time but is more expensive and heavier; corten steel is more cost-effective and lighter |
Use Guide
Fitting and Running It
- Choose the height and width based on the garden’s scale, not on a standard size
- Place the stele where it can be seen from multiple angles and where the rust surface interacts with light and shadow
- Ensure the base is fixed into stable ground to resist wind and movement
- Do not clean or treat the surface after installation; the rust will develop naturally over time
- Avoid placing near water features that could accelerate rusting or cause pooling
- Plan 25 to 30 days for production and 15 to 20 days for transport from the order date
