Know before you buy
The sculpture is designed as a freestanding unit. While it can sit on a patio or deck, if you plan to place it in a garden bed, you may want to ensure the ground is level or consider adding a small stake or anchor to keep it stable in high winds.
The piece is crafted from durable metal and finished with paint to protect the surface. Like most outdoor metal art, it will weather over time; we recommend applying a clear coat sealant annually if you live in a particularly humid or coastal climate to maintain the finish.
Yes, its realistic design and slender profile make it a striking accent for indoor spaces like sunrooms, entryways, or large living areas. Because it is freestanding, it works well on hard flooring or carpeted surfaces.
The cattails are welded into a fixed position during the handcrafted process. They are designed to maintain their specific shape and silhouette, so they cannot be bent or rearranged once they arrive.
A single unit provides a clean, minimalist look, but grouping three or more units together creates a more realistic, dense 'patch' of cattails. We suggest staggering them at slightly different depths to mimic the organic growth patterns found in nature.
