FAQ
What is Corten steel and how does the patina develop?
Corten steel (also known as weathering steel) is a group of steel alloys designed to form a stable, rust-like patina when exposed to the elements. This surface layer acts as a natural barrier against further corrosion, meaning the bench actually becomes more protected over time. The patina typically develops over 6-12 months depending on your climate and exposure to moisture. No sealant or painting is required - the aging process is part of the design.
Can this bench be used in all climates?
Yes. Both the Corten steel and powder-coated steel options are designed for year-round outdoor use. Corten steel is especially well-suited to environments with rain and humidity, as moisture accelerates the beneficial patina. The hardwood seat may benefit from occasional treatment with a wood oil or sealant in extremely harsh climates to maintain its appearance over the long term.
How long does production and delivery take?
Because each bench is made to order, please allow approximately 60 days for production and delivery. This lead time ensures that your bench is individually crafted to the specifications you select, including any custom sizing requests. We recommend planning ahead for seasonal installations or project deadlines.
Can I request a custom size for my project?
Absolutely. Custom sizing is available for both commercial and residential projects. If the standard dimensions don't fit your space or design vision, reach out to us with your requirements and our team will work with you to tailor the bench accordingly.
What can I plant in the integrated planters?
The integrated planters are well-suited for a wide range of plants - ornamental grasses, flowering perennials, low shrubs, succulents, seasonal annuals, and more. The best choice will depend on your climate, sunlight exposure, and desired aesthetic. For commercial or high-traffic settings, low-maintenance, hardy plants tend to work best.
How is this bench shipped and does it require assembly?
Due to its size and weight, this bench is typically shipped via freight on a pallet. Delivery details and any assembly requirements will be confirmed at the time of order. We recommend having adequate equipment and personnel on hand to receive and position the bench at your site.
