Heron Garden Art - Animal

The "Ready to Rust" finish means the product is supplied as bare metal, without any protective coating. It is intentionally designed to react with the environment and develop a natural, authentic rust patina over time.

The time it takes for a full rust patina to develop varies depending on environmental conditions (humidity, rainfall, air quality). It typically progresses significantly within the first few months to a year of outdoor exposure.

The rust is a natural oxide and can potentially stain surfaces if placed directly on them, especially when wet. It's advisable to place it directly into the ground or on a stable base to avoid staining delicate materials. Allow initial surface rust to wash away with rain.

This product is designed to rust. Preventing rust would alter its intended aesthetic. If you wish to maintain a non-rusted finish, you would need to apply a suitable metal sealant or paint, but this is not recommended as it goes against the product's design.

The dimensions are Height: 111.8cm and Width: 38.1cm.

The description indicates it is made from metal, implying a solid or robust construction suitable for outdoor stability rather than being hollow.

Ensure the base is inserted deeply and firmly into the soil. If the ground is very hard, slightly moisten the area first.

This is a natural process and part of the product's design. Minor variations in rusting are normal. Ensure it is exposed to natural elements like rain and air.

While the rust is intended, in the initial stages, some transfer might occur onto lighter surfaces. Consider placing it away from delicate materials or allowing initial surface rust to wash off with rain.
