The U-Shaped Pedestals are manufactured from Cor-Ten® Steel which develops a rich, rust patina over time. The design of the pedestal makes a perfect stand for fire bowls and can also be used as a wood storage unit.
Made from Cor-Ten® Steel which develops a protective barrier protecting the blue steel beneath, this gives the steel superb strength and longevity. as the steel weathers the pedestal may cause staining on the surface it stands on through carbon or rust run off.
Steel Pedestals are delivered on pallets to ‘kerbside’ only, (unless otherwise agreed). The pallet(s) will be lifted from the delivery vehicle using a tail-lift and pallet forks and placed in the first convenient, safe location.
Available in 2 sizes - 60cm high and 80cm high, both pedestals measure 40cm wide and 40cm deep.
Please Note - there is an additional surcharge for deliveries for Scotland, Wales and Cornwall - Please Call 0333 400 1444 for a carriage quote.

More information about Cor-Ten® Steel:-
Cor-Ten® Steel is a special steel originally developed for bridge building and skyscraper construction due to its incredible strength. When the steel weathers it develops a dense oxidisation layer which protects the blue steel inside. If this protective layer is compromised, it will simply form a a new skin to protect itself. This makes Cor-Ten® Steel extremely durable and gives it far higher resistance to atmospheric corrosion than other steels.
When you first receive your Cor-Ten® Steel products they will arrive in an un-weathered or partly weathered condition. Once placed outside the weathering process will begin. This can take some time; Cor-Ten® Steel has a reactive patina period of between 3 and 9 months depending on location and climate. The patina or rust acts as a protective barrier - it will not penetrate or compromise the structural integrity of the material. The colouration of each item will vary as the weathering process takes place, eventually producing a rusty brown patina.
Stage 1 - Freshly manufactured Cor-Ten® Steel. At this stage the dark oily residue coats the Cor-Ten® Steel.
Stage 2 - The oily residue is beginning to break down, as the Cor-Ten® Steel begins to weather.
Stage 3 & 4 - The “Run-Off” stage – This can take around 3-9 months depending on weather and positioning.
Stage 5 & 6 - The final stages of the weathering process. Some “Run-Off” may still occur as the Cor-Ten® Steels patina develops to a striking more consistent appearance.
During the weathering process the Cor-Ten® Steel produces carbon run off or staining to adjacent materials such as stone or concrete. To reduce this possible staining, some Cor-Ten® Steel products are supplied with small feet or a stand, lifting the product and preventing direct contact with the flooring material. After the initial reactive period Cor-Ten® Steel will cure and self-seal with little to no carbon run off. The weathering process of Cor-Ten® Steel is integral to this product and as such we will not accept any responsibility for damage caused to surrounding materials as a result of carbon run off from Cor-Ten® Steel products. Please ensure you do not place your product on any surface that may be damaged during the weathering process.
