No. Corten steel is designed to form a surface oxidation layer that acts as a protective barrier, preventing deep corrosion to the underlying structure.

It is primarily designed for outdoor use. We do not recommend indoor use due to the potential for rust runoff and the weight of the material.

The product includes a manual with all necessary instructions for assembly, though basic household tools like a screwdriver may be required.

This is normal. Allow it to sit outdoors for several weeks to let natural moisture and air initiate the rusting, or use a salt/soap water spray to speed up the process.

Corten steel releases iron oxide runoff during the early stages of weathering. Use a patio cleaner to remove stains or place the planter on a protective mat during the first few months.
