What is Corten steel?
Corten steel, also known as 'Weathering Steel', is used in high-end outdoor architecture for good reason. When exposed to the elements, it develops a patina within weeks that seals the steel and preserves it for decades. In addition, it leaves a beautiful, even hue that darkens with age.
Will this damage my tree?
While any damage to tree bark can lead to potential infection, no damaged trees have been reported since Metalbird was introduced. Arboriculture professionals believe that when the spike is driven steadily into the tree, the tree will heal around the hole to protect itself. Of course, if you prefer not to install your Metalbird in a tree, there is a whole world of posts, sheds, wooden walls, and fences to explore.
