Cor-ten – appreciate all the good features of this intelligent „guardian“
Let’s be honest; we buy a garden or terrace as the future place to relax. Few people want to work endlessly in the garden to enjoy a good feeling by doing something beneficial against the ozone hole. Nowadays, when we work 10 hours or more, we want only one thing after arriving home – to get the steam out and relax. Lie down in the garden on a deck chair with a beer in hand and put two more next to the stand. If you are a lady, you make iced coffee and a cake with a magazine is a must-have. We would also love to heat up and warm ourselves by the fireplace in the evening, but then the fireplace needs to be cleaned and dusted off. And also to cut wood and store it somewhere. Also, the wooden table must be sanded and painted every year, the screws tightened, and well protected in case of rain. And we don’t want that. We want peace, well-being and something that will serve us and not us servants to the items. Just where to get something like that and not steal it?
Let’s check the options. Well, there are a few. For example, plastic. It is relatively maintenance-free but also kitschy, non-ecological, not very durable and almost everyone has it in the garden. After a (relatively short) time, it will become brittle and break, in addition, the disposal of an old broken plastic chair will force you to start the car and pay the visit also to the waste disposal place – ergo your time and money, which you spend by buying more and more items. Usually every two years. Artificial rattan is the same, if not worse. And just by the way, would you like the same plastic table with a neighbor on the right, on the left and the one living across the street? Wood is more durable but requires great care, painting against mold, fungi, pests, protection from moisture or sun. No wood lasts long without protective coatings or email coating. Care will be required year after year. It is necessary to add the cost of tarpaulins, some of the screws and a lot of time for assembly, tightening, painting, sanding the items … Even the weather is not exactly a best friend with wood because the sun dries the wood, wet conditions make it soak again. You can’t sit on it after the rain because having a wet bum from wet wood is not exactly something you would prefer. So the wood is excellent, but only if you have spare time and effort to take care of it. What we have there else … Ah, concrete. Well, it’s more durable and less maintenance-required, but it’s still a porous material that absorbs and creates suitable conditions for mosses and lichens. So to concrete, we plan to buy a steel brush and perform a mandatory lifting treatment for your concrete every year. In addition, not everyone is a fan of concrete in the garden, although some lovers of this trend are sure to be found.
Another option is rust. More precisely, steel, which uses rust as protection. You’ll say it’s stupid, every plate will rust once, and who would be all the time up to sand the rust and paint the plate. The answer? Nobody. This rust is precisely what we want. We want an utterly maintenance-free table that will be here whenever needed. The table looks good, with the clearly stated position and tasks, but most importantly – the table we won’t have to worry about. That’s precisely the table we have for you. It is made of special Cor-ten steel, so it protects itself for many years. You don’t have to do anything else; watch the world around while sipping the coffee as its color gradually changes and enjoy that it looks different every time you look at it. And that’s not all. This one table is so multifunctional that you will use it repeatedly and always for a different purpose. We have already introduced the table’s function on the example of beer and iced coffee with cake. A classic piece that must be in every garden. Where else would you put that cake so your dog wouldn’t eat it, right? Next, here we have the function of the fireplace. By removing the glass plate, you will have an open hearth, in which all you have to do is place the logs, strike out the match and you can warm up while watching the sparkles. Di Caprio on the Titanic would not have to be ashamed of such romance, we suppose. But not only is romance a part of a man’s life, you also need to eat. Put the grate in the fireplace and grill the ribs and for your girlfriend or wife some vegetables. If you cover the fireplace after grilling, it will collect the heat and you can stay on a lounger by the garden radiator for a long time. The following day, pull out the drawer into which all the ash has fallen and put it under the roses as fertilizer. That’s all. Your garden table, fireplace, grill and radiator in one are ready for further use. And if you don’t find any use anymore, there is no more original stand for flowers, pots or arrangements, which fine-tunes their color to perfection. And we have so many more such beautiful things for you…
