Know before you buy
Yes, the all-steel construction and striker design are engineered to produce a clear, resonant sound that carries well, making it effective for calling people in from the yard or a nearby area.
The bell includes a durable leather hanging strap for easy installation. Please note that you will need to provide your own hook, nail, or mounting bracket to secure it to your wall or post.
The bell is made of black steel, which can develop surface rust if exposed to rain or high humidity over time. If you plan to keep it outside permanently, we recommend applying a clear coat or keeping it in a covered area to maintain its finish.
The bell weighs 1.77 pounds. Because of its weight and the motion required to ring it, you should mount it to a sturdy surface like a wooden post or a wall stud rather than just drywall.
The included leather strap is designed for standard use and provides a rustic look. If you intend to ring the bell multiple times daily, you may eventually need to replace the strap, which can be easily swapped out for a cord or leather strip of your choice.
