Description
Create a beautiful garden with the sleek design of our pedestal with seat. The pedestal can be used as a seat or as the perfect plinth for displaying a sculpture. This makes it easy to create a cosy corner in the garden. The product is made of corten steel, giving it a bold, warm look that works well with the lush greenery in a garden. A realeye-catcher!
Corten steel has an orange-brown colour, the result of a natural rust layer. Another name for corten steel is weathering steel: weather conditions have a positive effect on this material.
Corten steel is a metal alloy made by adding copper, phosphorus, silicon, nickel and chromium to iron. When exposed to air, the material forms a protective layer of rust. This natural coating prevents further corrosion, so the pedestals will last for many years.
SPECIFICATIONS:
- 5-year guarantee.
- Load-bearing capacity of up to 150 kg.
- Includes Garapa hardwood seat.
- Corten steel pedestals are hard-wearing, weather-resistant, low-maintenance and durable.
- The corten steel has a standard thickness of 2 mm.
- Products are delivered without rust. The corten steel rusting process takes about 4-5 months, depending on weather conditions.
- The rust can be fixed by applying Owatrol. This is a penetrating rust inhibitor that forms a protective anti-rust coating. Owatrol protects the pedestal and stops the rust on corten steel flaking off.
Key points of interest:
- Products should be unpacked immediately upon receipt to release any moisture trapped inside the packaging. If the product is left in its packaging, it may develop uneven rust patches.
- We do not recommend using corten steel within 2 km of a coastline.
- The weathering process may cause rust run-off.
- The guarantee expires if you drill or grind in a way that is not specified.
- All hardwoods turn grey when exposed to UV radiation, rain and wind. The eventual colour partly depends on the initial colour.
- Wood is a natural product which shrinks or expands depending on temperature and moisture content. Regular oiling helps to stabilise the moisture content and limits shrinking and swelling.
- Use stainless-steel screws. Like almost all woods, hardwood reacts when it comes into contact with iron. This can cause significant discolouration, which can look like mould.
- Clean annually by hosing off dirt with clean tap water.
