Garden Decor

If your garden looks like it needs some perking up,  it might be time to add some wonderful metal garden art.

A garden is a pleasure to behold and to enjoy. With flowering plants, natives and tropical palms, it is a delight to the senses. For many it is their retreat from the daily grind. Yet even the most die hard gardening purists have been known to quietly sneak a piece or two of metal garden art into their yard. With so many artists working in the field and so many different materials to choose from, the choices are endless. No matter what your taste, you will find at least one piece of metal garden art to add year round color and character to your garden.

Steel is the most popular material used in metal garden art because it is inexpensive, versatile and easy to work with. It is used to make garden sculptures, metal garden stakes, windmills, weathervanes, wall art and metal garden decor like large outdoor birds, and other animal garden sculptures.  Steel can be used in its natural state, varnished, painted or left to rust. Some artists even combine rusted metal with treated metal for pieces with a very unique look. For larger more contemporary pieces, corrosion resistant stainless steel is used to create striking, architectural pieces.

Copper is also widely used in metal garden art because it is beautiful, durable and adds elegance to any garden. If allowed to oxidize it will age gracefully to a natural weather worn green patina. It can also be preserved with a clear coating to maintain its bright, shiny look. Copper sculptures and metal wall hangings add a touch of class to any decor.
