This Poppyforge Flying Swallows Cluster is designed for garden enthusiasts looking to add a unique, naturalistic decorative element to their outdoor space. Its key benefit is the robust solid metal construction that develops a beautiful, natural patina over time. A potential consideration is that it is supplied bare metal, requiring natural weathering for its intended aesthetic.

The garden art is made from robust solid metal.
It means the product is not painted or coated and is intended to rust naturally over time, developing a patina.
The time it takes varies depending on environmental conditions (humidity, rainfall, air exposure), but a visible patina typically begins to form within weeks and matures over months and years.
Yes, you can encourage faster rusting by regularly exposing the metal to moisture, such as spraying it with water, especially in dry climates.
Yes, you can stop or slow the rusting process by applying a clear metal sealant spray. However, this will prevent the natural patina development.
Yes, various sizes are available to suit different garden needs and preferences.
This particular model measures W100 x H6 cm.
Ensure the product is exposed to consistent moisture and air circulation. Occasional spraying with water can help promote even rusting. Avoid prolonged contact with materials that might impede airflow or moisture.
Ensure the product is placed on a level surface or securely fixed using appropriate garden hardware. For larger sizes, consider adding weight at the base if leaning.
This is a natural part of the rusting process. The colour will deepen and mature over time. Continued exposure to the elements will lead to darker, richer tones.
Setup:
This garden art is designed for easy placement. It can be leaned against a wall, fence, or other garden structures, or secured using appropriate garden fixings (not included) if a more permanent installation is desired. Ensure it is placed on a stable surface or fixed securely to prevent it from falling.
Compatibility:
The Flying Swallows Cluster is compatible with virtually any outdoor garden setting. Its neutral, natural finish once rusted will complement a wide range of garden styles, from cottage gardens to more contemporary designs. It is intended for outdoor use only.
Care:
No specific care is required for the product itself. The intention is for it to weather naturally. If you wish to accelerate the rusting process, you can expose it to moisture regularly. Conversely, if you wish to slow or halt the rusting at a certain stage, it can be treated with a clear sealant spray (available from hardware stores), though this will alter the natural patina effect. Keep the area around the product clear of debris to ensure even weathering.
