Corten Steel Sculpture
Corten Steel Outdoor Metal Sculpture Garden Art
A corten steel sculpture designed for outdoor garden spaces, this piece is made to stand in a garden, courtyard or public green area where its weathered, rust-coloured surface will evolve over time. The listed size is 150 cm, and like almost every item in this catalogue, it is made to custom size on request. The body is formed from corten steel, a material chosen for its ability to develop a stable rust layer that protects the metal and gives the sculpture a distinctive, natural appearance. The production time is 25 to 30 days, with transport taking 15 to 20 days after that.

- The material is suitable for outdoor gardens, parks and public spaces with no maintenance
Manufacturing Process
How the Part Is Made
- Scheme design against the garden or site, which sets the form, scale and placement
- Small model created and scaled up to the final size, with structural support designed in
- Corten steel plate formed into the final shape using forging or welding techniques
- Surface left untreated to allow natural weathering and rust development over time

Comparison
How It Compares With the Alternatives
| A painted steel sculpture | Painted steel requires repainting every few years and can chip or peel; corten steel ages naturally and needs no maintenance |
|---|---|
| A mirror polished stainless steel sphere | A mirror finish reflects the environment and changes with light; corten steel has a matte, earthy surface that reads as part of the landscape |
| A fiberglass sculpture | Fiberglass is lighter and cheaper but cannot develop a natural rust layer and is better suited for indoor or sheltered use |
| A bronze sculpture | Bronze develops a green patina over time but is more expensive and heavier; corten steel is more accessible and develops a warm rust tone |
Use Guide
Fitting and Running It
- Choose the size based on the garden space, not on a standard catalogue size
- Place the sculpture where it has room to age naturally and where the rust tone complements planting or paving
- Allow for a stable base and fixing detail sized for wind load at larger diameters
- No cleaning is needed; the rust layer develops over time and protects the metal
- Specify the size and placement early, as the piece is made to order and has a 25 to 30 day production window
- Plan 25 to 30 days production plus 15 to 20 days transport from the date the garden must be finished
