L30cm The Arc Corten Steel Cascade by Ambienté© This stunning arc would make a lovely addition to any pond. Made...
The Corten material takes approximately 3 days to start to develop its protective layer - depending on weather conditions - progressing from traditionally silver steel to the earthy hue of oxidised metal, bringing a burst of orange to complement flowers and gardens. Special welding techniques are used to ensure consistent weathering for the optimum antique feel, whilst this water feature is guaranteed to provide a stunning focal point to any garden or patio area.
Please note: This feature will arrive looking like stainless steel and will only acquire the rusting effect after a few days of use.
A lot of water features come pre-assembled for the most part, with just a little hose/pump connecting to do before plugging it in to a solar panel or mains socket. Some of our bigger ones require wiring in a plug (which might involve a Part P Certified electrician), but otherwise all instructions will be included.

Corten is a type of steel that naturally weathers over time, developing an attractive and protective rust layer. This layer develops due to the elements active in the alloys of the steel which regenerates continuously when subjected to water & oxygen. Although to achieve the finished look the steel has rusted, the surface layer acts as a protective coating and reduces further corrosion. When you receive your corten steel product, it will appear silver - once exposed to the elements for at least 3 days, the rust layer will start to form to give the product it's final rustic look.
