Handmade from recycled metal
Much of our yard art starts life as scrap metal that artisans cut, bend, weld and paint into animals and flowers. The result is sturdy, a little rustic and full of personality, the kind of piece that makes neighbors slow down when they drive by.
When we opened, we wondered if quirky metal art would sell in Austin. It turns out Austin loves it. Keep Austin weird, and colorful.

Rust, patina and paint
Outdoor metal changes with the weather. Some people love the patina, others want it bright. Our guide on keeping metal yard art looking good covers both.
Metal yard art: common questions
Is the metal yard art made in Mexico?
Yes. Our metal yard art is handmade by artisans in Mexico, much of it from recycled metal.
Will metal yard art rust outside?
Bare metal will develop a rusty patina over time, which many people like. Painted pieces keep their color longer, and a clear outdoor sealant once a year helps. See our guide.

Yes. Large pieces like dinosaurs, longhorns, giraffes and flamingos are some of our most popular items. Stock changes often, so call (512) 704-6318 to check.
