The Oak Bay is made of Corten steel, also called weathering steel which is what gives it its nice rustic brown-orange color. Whilst the Oak Bay will not be delivered with its rust finish, it will form quite quickly when using it outside. Depending on weather conditions and surroundings, each Oak Bay will get its own unique brown-orange appearance. Corten steel is durable and has a unique metal alloy, in which the combination of metals used create a dense oxidation/rust layer.

• The rust layer acts as a barrier and protects the steel from corrosion, eliminating the need for any type of maintenance.
• The Oak Bay can be best placed in a location where it can dry after rain.
• Wet leaves do need to be removed, to prevent unwanted accelerated corrosion.
• Please note Corten steel can leave rust marks on surfaces.
