Product Description

Bellamy Rustic Steel Squirrel Ornament

If you love visitors in your garden, this cute squirrel ornament will be perfect for your garden. Add a personal touch to your garden with our range of animal themed decorative silhouettes. This silhouette features a squirrel standing up.

Installation is simple. At the base of each ornament is a stake. This can be driven into the ground easily using a hammer or a bit of force. Once the squirrel is sat flush with the lawn, the ornament is fully installed.

Each silhouette is made from mild British steel. This ensures it is strong and durable, but also allows it to rust naturally. Once placed outside and exposed to the elements, the steel will weather. This rustic steel finish looks great and will add a vintage, antique touch to your garden.

We designed this squirrel ornament in the United Kingdom. Each and every one is manufactured and shipped from our premises in Norfolk.

Key Features:

Each silhouette is manufactured in the United Kingdom using British steel
Simple installation. Just drive the stake at the bottom of the ornament into the ground!
The squirrel ornament will develop a rusted finish over time when exposed to the elements. Resulting in the rusted finish as shown in the below diagram

Please note:

Whilst we aim to deliver your product rust-free, so it will rust over time in front of you, some of our bare steel products may already show signs of rust when manufactured.

Rusting Process Explained

At Indoor Outdoors we have many products which we describe as Rustic Steel. This refers to the fact that the item will rust over time to give it that lovely orangey-brown vintage look.

When your product arrives, it may have small patches of rust forming, but it will be in its bare, Mild Steel state. It will be a mostly grey-ish colour. Over time though, as the item is left outside and exposed to the elements, a rusty patina will form on the surface of the steel which gives it that lovely hue. This can take time though, and depends entirely on the outside conditions. Heavy rainfall and bad weather will help it rust faster.

You can speed the rusting process up though, some of our customers have recommended using vinegar, salt or lemon juice on the surface to get that rusty look a little sooner.

Rusting Process for Rustic Steel Products Explained

Want it to rust faster?

Depending on weather conditions, we say it can take anywhere from several weeks, to several months to fully rust. Jason, one of our customers has shared a special tip for achieving that lovely rusty outer in just 2 days!

You can pour equal parts of distilled vinegar and hydrogen peroxide into a spray bottle, along with a 1/4 of a standard cup of salt. Spray this mixture all over the product and it will cause an immediate reaction, rusting in just a matter of days!
