unique gate design metal rain curtain water feature with LED lights
This water feature starts off looking like any other steel feature. However, after just a few days of use, it will develop a rust-like surface that also has a protective layer. This layer protects against further corrosion, and it is completely unique, so no two features are the same. Complete with a pump, you will be able to get this feature up and running in no time. It is entirely self contained, so all you need to do is add water.
The added LED light strip to the cascade makes this feature beautiful by day and stunning by night, illuminating the flow of water into the reservoir.
Features:
1. Corten steel – forms a stable, self-protecting rust that requires no painting or maintenance, for a fashionable aesthetic which doesn't compromise structural strength
2. Cascading blade - emits a pleasing sheet of water
3. White LED light - built into the cascade, illuminates the feature
4. Suitable for outdoor use
5. Self contained - no need for a continuous water supply

Corten Steel - Rust Surface with Protective Layer
Corten is a type of steel that naturally weathers and develops a layer of attractive rust with a protective layer. It is really a paradox, as although it is rusted, to a degree, the surface actually has a layer that protects against further corrosion. In other words, the steel is allowed to rust in order to form the protective coating. This protective layer develops due to the elements that are active in the alloys of the steel. It regenerates continuously when subjected to the influence of water and oxygen.
Rusting Process
the protective rust surface will have developed naturally. If you wish, you can speed up the process by using a cloth and rubbing the surface with salt and/or vinegar.

What is pre-rusted treatment for the corten steel?
It takes long time to develop the stable rusty layer in nature. This can greatly affect the the using of the weathering steel, especially the dropping of rust liquid and the flying of floatting rust at the beginning of bare using.
And pre-rusted treatment can help the corten steel to be weathered in a short time and the colour also can be controlled.
