Oak Plinth Dragonfly

Unweathered Corten Steel
Unweathered Corten Steel arrives in its original smooth, bluish‑grey state before the natural rusting process begins. This finish allows you to witness the transformation first‑hand as it gradually develops a rich, warm patina over time. Perfect if you’d like to enjoy the evolving beauty of your piece from day one, unweathered Corten is a popular choice for those who love to see their garden features change with the seasons.

Semi‑Weathered Corten Steel
Semi‑Weathered Corten Steel offers the best of both worlds. Your piece will arrive with a partially developed patina — enough to showcase the distinctive rustic tones of Corten, but still with more transformation to come. This option gives you an attractive head start on the weathering process, while allowing the finish to deepen and mature naturally in your own outdoor setting.

Galvanised Steel
Galvanised Steel is coated in a protective layer of zinc, creating a tough, silvery finish that resists rust and corrosion. This makes it an ideal choice for customers seeking a cleaner, contemporary look and a low‑maintenance option for long‑term durability. Whether left in its sleek metallic state or painted to suit your style, galvanised steel ensures your piece stays looking fresh for years to come.
