Brass Yard And Garden Decor
| Garden fixtures and structures made of brass and copper are considered unique in appearance. Brass metal has been used for centuries and is considered as a symbol of safety, security and durability. Unlike iron and steel, brass does not catch rust. They do not weather and crack as like wood. Brass is not brittle as like plastic and glass. |

Hence, brass can be considered as an ideal material, particularly for making outdoor furnishings, garden furniture, trellises, arbors, window boxes and yard art. Another advantage of brass is that it can also be used to repel bugs from plants. There are several designs in which articles are manufactured using brass. Many of these designs are aptly suitable for any type of garden landscape designs.
Brass is one metal that does not get affected by the wear and tear caused due to weather conditions. Only thing that affects copper is air. Due to air, copper gets oxidized gradually resulting in the formation of a green verdigris patina layer on top. However, patina acts as a protective coating.
Among all the available brass items, brass outdoor lighting fixtures are the ones that are widely popular. These fixtures are available in a variety of shapes and designs such as butterflies, bells, tulips, squares and dragonflies and other animals. Brass lighting can add to outdoor decoration wherever they are placed. Another item that can add design, dimension and attraction to a yard is an arbor. One can use simple brass tubing for making an arbor. Also used for decorating the gardens are brass weather vanes that provide an antique and rustic look.
