Rusted-steel column with cracks (85 cm) in Corten steel with planter bowl â flame look for garden & patio
A column with character: this 85 cm high column made of genuine Corten steel features a striking crack design that runs over the body like flickering flames. At this medium height it is highly versatile â as an eye-catcher in the garden, on the terrace, balcony or as home dĂ©cor in the entrance area. With a selectable flower bowl it becomes a stylish focal point.
The column is open at the bottom â place a string of LED lights or a candle inside and the light will shine through the cracks. The effect is reminiscent of flickering flames and bathes your patio in a warm, atmospheric glow in the evening. A refined eye-catcher by day, a small fire show by night.

đ ïž Material & workmanship
- Material: genuine Corten steel â column and square bowls 1 mm, round bowls solid 1.5 mm
- the crack motif is cut by hand â each column is slightly different
- handcrafted in our workshop in Bavaria â Made in Germany
- Corten steel is a weather-resistant structural steel (used in bridges and facades) â extremely durable
- each column is one of a kind â the decorative rust patina makes every piece unique
đż Weatherproof & durable
Corten steel forms a protective barrier layer beneath the visible rust that seals the material and prevents further corrosion. The column is frost-proof, weather-resistant and low-maintenance, can stay outside all year round and only gains character over time.
đĄ Planting tip
Since all bowls are removable, they can be conveniently planted separately and are easy to store in winter. For healthy planting, we recommend first adding a drainage layer of gravel so the drain hole remains clear. Seasonal bloomers, grasses or small evergreen plants look especially attractive.
â Frequently asked questions
What are the cracks in the column for?
Twice as beautiful: by day, the crack motif is a decorative eye-catcher. In the evening, place an LED string light or candle inside and the light shines out through the cracks â like flickering flames.
Will the column be delivered fully rusted?
Yes. Your column made of genuine Corten steel is delivered fully rusted â youâll see the decorative rust look from the product photos right away. No waiting, no after-treatment needed.
Which planter bowl fits the column?
You can choose between square bowls (40 Ă 40 cm) and round bowls up to Ă 50 cm â all removable and with drainage for your planting.
Can the column stay outside all year round?
Yes. Corten steel is weatherproof and frost-resistant and designed for long-term use in the garden, on the patio or balcony.
Can the rust rub off at first?
At first, some rust-coloured water may run off when it rains â this is normal for Corten steel. On light, delicate surfaces we therefore recommend a mat or suitable location at the beginning.
