About Corten:
When you first receive your Corten steel item (aka weathered steel), it may be a bright orange or sometimes a darker brown (depending on how much it’s weathered on its journey to you).
As it’s exposed to the elements, especially rain and dry spells, it naturally starts to rust. This forms a protective layer called a patina, which changes colour over time, from orange to deep brown, and eventually a rich, almost-black tone. Patina is a type of rust (but not a damaging kind). Unlike regular rust, this patina seals the surface and actually prevents further corrosion, which is why Corten is often used for outdoor structures and sculptures.
Each piece in our Corten range offers a unique aesthetic, adding character and depth to your outdoor spaces.

Safety
Metal surfaces become extremely hot during use and can cause serious burns if touched. Burning temperatures can be very high—always supervise children and pets around the fireplace.
In New Zealand, outdoor fireplaces must be situated at least 1 metre away from any building or legal boundary. However, to light the fire, a permit may require a minimum distance of 3 metres from structures, hedges, or other combustible materials. Check local council guidelines to ensure compliance with placement, safety, and fire restrictions in your area.
Cleaning & Maintenance:
Corten or powder coated steel fire pits will naturally develop surface rust over time—this is not a defect but a natural process.
To maintain black powder-coated fireplaces, clean it with a damp cloth and dry it thoroughly. Grates should be coated with a thin layer of edible oil regularly to prevent rusting. Use a cover if applicable when not in use to protect from the elements. If the surface becomes scratched, clean and repaint the area to prevent rust formation. Avoid excessive heat from large, blazing fires, keeping temperatures at a moderate level ensures long-lasting performance and preventative peeling.
