Their iconic simplicity and elegant design can serve both functional and decorative purposes. Here are some key points to consider about Corten steel moon gates: Material: Corten steel is a popular choice for moon gates because it weathers and develops a rust-like patina, giving it a unique and rustic appearance. This natural rusting process also provides durability and resistance to corrosion, making it ideal for outdoor installations. Structure: Moon gates are typically circular or semi-circular archways with a central opening. The simplicity of their design makes them stand out as an eye-catching focal point in your garden. Versatility: Moon gates can be used in various ways in a garden or outdoor space. They can serve as a decorative element, a trellis for climbing plants, or an entrance archway to different areas of your garden. Ease of Installation: The fact that your moon gate arrives as a single welded piece simplifies the installation process. It can be directly set in place without the need for complex assembly, making it a convenient addition to your garden. Sculptural Element: Moon gates often have an artistic and sculptural quality, making them more than just a functional structure. They can add a touch of artistry and elegance to your outdoor environment. Dimensions: The size of your moon gate can be customized to fit your garden’s specific dimensions and needs. Whether you want a small, intimate moon gate or a larger, more imposing one, you can work with a designer or manufacturer to achieve the right proportions for your space. Maintenance: While Corten steel is known for its durability, it’s still a good idea to perform occasional maintenance to ensure its longevity. This may include cleaning and resealing the surface to protect it from excessive rust. Landscaping: Consider the overall landscape design when incorporating a moon gate into your garden. It can be positioned in a way that frames a particular view, creates a pathway, or defines different garden sections. Lighting: To enhance the moon gate’s beauty during the evening, you can consider adding outdoor lighting around or on the gate. This can create a magical and inviting atmosphere after dark. Corten steel moon gates are a fantastic way to add structure, style, and a touch of enchantment to your garden. Their natural weathering process and timeless design make them a lasting and iconic feature in your outdoor space. Specification Weight 100 kg Dimensions 230 × 25 × 230 cm Installation Installation Instructions for the Moon Gate: The moon gate is equipped with a welded base plate measuring 900x500mm, featuring fixing holes with a diameter of 13.5mm for M12 resin anchor fixings. We recommend the following installation steps: Prepare a Concrete Pad: Create a concrete pad on-site, ensuring it is at least 200mm deep and slightly larger than the base plate to provide ample support. Position the Base Plate: Place the moon gate’s base plate on the concrete pad, ensuring it is level and well-cantered. Fixing Holes: Align the fixing holes in the base plate with the corresponding locations on the concrete pad. Secure with Resin Anchor Fixings: Utilize M12 resin anchor fixings to securely fasten the base plate to the concrete pad through the fixing holes. Make sure the moon gate is stable and firmly anchored. Adjust Height: To achieve the desired height, ensure that the top of the concrete pad is positioned 80mm lower than ground level. By following these steps, you can effectively install the moon gate in your garden, providing stability and ensuring it stands at the appropriate height above ground level.
