Product Information
Full details
This striking garden art, designed for outdoor enthusiasts who appreciate unique, rustic decor, offers a durable and visually appealing way to enhance any garden space. Its solid steel construction and double spike fixing ensure stability, while the bare metal finish will develop a natural patina over time. A potential consideration is that the bare metal finish, while desirable for its rustic look, requires understanding that it will age and change appearance.

FAQs
What material is the garden art made from?
The garden art is constructed from solid steel.
Does the 'Black' color refer to paint?
The 'Black' likely refers to the initial finish of the steel before it begins to develop its natural patina. The product features a bare metal finish that will age.
Will it rust?
Yes, the bare metal finish is designed to rust and develop a rustic patina over time, which is part of its intended aesthetic.
How tall is the garden art?
The garden art measures 133 cm in height.
Does it come assembled?
Yes, the Poppyforge Flying Birds Garden Art comes fully assembled.
How do I secure it in the ground?
It features a double spike fixing system that you push directly into the ground for stability.
Can I paint over the bare metal finish?
While you could paint it, this would prevent the natural development of a rustic patina and may chip over time. It is designed to be left bare.
Troubleshooting
Garden art is wobbly after installation.
Ensure both spikes are fully inserted into the ground. If the ground is very soft, consider adding a small amount of gravel around the base for extra support or repositioning to firmer ground.
Unwanted rust appearing too quickly.
This is a natural process. If the rate or pattern of rusting is undesirable, you can apply a clear metal sealant. Note that this will prevent the development of a natural patina.
Design seems too small for the intended area.
Consider purchasing additional pieces or larger garden art items to create a more impactful display.
Pros and Cons
Pros

- Constructed from durable solid steel for long-lasting use.
- Easy to install with a double spike for stability.
- Develops a unique, attractive rustic patina over time.

Cons
- The bare metal finish will change appearance as it ages, which may not suit all aesthetic preferences.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
- Identify the desired location in your garden.
- Gently push the double spike directly into the ground until the base of the art is secure.
- Ensure the spikes are fully inserted for maximum stability, especially in softer soil.
Compatibility:
This garden art is compatible with most outdoor garden environments, including soil, grass, and decorative gravel areas. It is designed for outdoor use only.
Care:
No specific care is required. The product is designed to weather naturally. The bare metal finish is intended to develop a rustic patina over time. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners, as these may interfere with the natural aging process. If rust appears too quickly or in an undesirable pattern, consider applying a protective sealant designed for bare metals, though this will alter the natural patina development.
