BEFORE YOU BUY

Everything You Need to Know Before You Buy

From the steel we use to how your piece is finished, fitted, delivered, and cared for — here's everything worth knowing before you order. Take a moment to explore the details that make a Ferra & Field piece built to last.

Materials

What Our Pieces Are Made From

Every Ferra & Field piece is laser-cut from premium steel and built to live outdoors. Unlike resin, plastic, or printed canvas, steel holds fine detail, resists knocks, and develops genuine character over time. Here we explain the grades of steel we use, why we choose them, and what makes them the right foundation for garden art and ornaments that last for decades.

Finishes

Choosing the Right Finish

Our designs are offered in a range of finishes — typically powder-coated black, natural rust (Corten-style), and brushed or mirror steel. Each one weathers differently and suits a different look, from bold and modern to soft and rustic. This guide walks you through how each finish ages, how it performs outdoors, and how to pick the one that's right for your space.

Fitting Guides

Installing Your Piece

No special tools or expertise required. Ground-spike ornaments push straight into a border in seconds, wall art hangs like any framed picture, and bird feeders fill and clean from the top. Our fitting guides give you simple, step-by-step instructions for mounting and positioning each type of product so it looks its best and stays secure all year.

Postage

Delivery & Dispatch

We deliver across mainland UK, with free delivery on qualifying orders. Every piece is carefully packaged to arrive safely and, where applicable, ready to gift. Here you'll find details on dispatch times, delivery costs, what to expect when your order arrives, and how we make sure each piece reaches you in perfect condition.

Care Guide

Caring for Your Steel

Care is minimal — that's part of the appeal. An occasional wipe with a damp cloth is usually all that's needed, and any finish-specific guidance is included with your order. This guide explains how each finish behaves over time, what's normal as the steel weathers, and the few simple steps that keep your piece looking its best for years to come.
