Here we have a very attractive piece of metal wall art, The Compass.
This product is generally made in mild steel 3mm material which will give you strong orange/brown silhouette once properly weathered, which looks great against a pale background or fence.
If you are concerned about rust drip, perhaps consider galvanised steel which has a silver coloured resistant coating similar to that of agricultural gates etc., the silver colour may dull over time. Or you can have the most expensive option which is stainless steel 304L grade, which gives you a permanently rust free finish. Both Galv and Stainless options do incur additional costs.
Wall Art - The Compass
Made of Quality 3mm Mild Steel
As part of our 'Rusty range of creative garden art, our products are intended to be allowed to rust and get better with age giving you a wonderful silhouette against the skyline or amongst your garden foliage.
When your 'Rusty' garden art is new, it will be in it's natural state of steel (silver coloured). All you need to do is place it where you want it to be outdoors and watch it change, helped by the great British weather.
If you would prefer a painted finish - you can do this DIY - any good quality metal primer and paint will be suitable as long as you follow the instructions and ensure that you completely de-grease the product before commencing any painting.
Other options are Galvanised Steel or Stainless Steel
