Garden stake BLACK-TAILED GODWIT: corten steel eye-catcher for garden and pond

With the GRUTTO Garden Stake, you can easily add a striking piece of Dutch nature to your garden. The recognizable shape of the black-tailed godwit is crafted as a stylish corten steel silhouette, making it a particularly decorative element among plants, ornamental grasses, or along the edge of a pond.

The GRUTTO Garden Stake is now available at Stalen Design.

A black-tailed godwit as garden decoration

The black-tailed godwit (grutto) is inextricably linked to the Dutch landscape. With its long legs and characteristic beak, this meadow bird has an instantly recognizable silhouette. This makes the bird particularly suitable as a base for a garden stake, garden sculpture, garden ornament, garden decoration, or decorative garden figure.

The design of the GRUTTO Garden Stake features a combination of a clear outer shape and cut-out details in the body of the bird. This ensures the shape remains recognizable from a distance, while more details become visible up close.

Made of corten steel

The GRUTTO Garden Stake is made of 3 mm thick corten steel. Outdoors, this steel gradually develops its characteristic rust-colored patina. As a result, the garden stake blends beautifully with natural materials and various shades of green.

The warm appearance of corten steel ensures that the godwit looks right at home in both modern gardens and rural or natural landscapes.

Furthermore, every garden stake acquires its own unique look through the natural rusting process. The color and texture of the surface evolve under the influence of the outdoor air and weather conditions.

Beautiful as garden decoration by a pond

A great spot for the GRUTTO Garden Stake is, for example, next to a pond. The shape of the bird fits naturally into such surroundings. Among ornamental grasses, marginal plants, and other vegetation, it creates the appearance of a godwit standing in your garden.

The metal bird can also be used in other prominent locations, such as:

• among ornamental grasses and perennials;
• along a garden path;
• in a flower bed;
• by a natural pond;
• at the edge of a lawn;
• as a decorative accent among low-growing plants.
• The ground stakes at the bottom allow you to push the garden stake directly into the soil. No separate base or mount is required.

Dutch design for the outdoors

As you have come to expect from Stalen Design, the GRUTTO Garden Stake is also designed and made in the Netherlands. The design takes into account both the appearance of the bird and the properties of sheet metal.

The cut-out details give the godwit character without losing the serene quality of the silhouette. This creates a metal garden object that is decorative while simultaneously blending beautifully into a green environment.

From bare steel sheet to lively garden figure

Corten steel truly comes into its own outdoors. The rust-brown color contrasts with green grass and foliage, while the natural look of the material ensures it never looks out of place.

In spring and summer, the godwit forms a warm accent among the greenery. In autumn, the corten steel complements brown and orange tones beautifully. And even in winter, the silhouette remains visible when much of the vegetation has faded.

This makes the GRUTTO Garden Stake not just a summer decoration, but a garden ornament for every season.
