Corten steel bird feeders

Corten steel bird feeder

Corten steel is particularly suitable for products used outdoors. Under the influence of the weather, the steel develops a characteristic rust-brown patina. This layer slows down further corrosion and gives each bird feeder a natural appearance.

The warm color of corten steel combines beautifully with greenery, wood, stone, and other natural materials, making it suitable for both modern and rural gardens.

Which bird feeder suits your garden?

Within the Stalen Design collection, you will find various ways to install a bird feeder.

Bird feeder on a pole

A bird feeder on a pole creates a clear, freestanding feeding spot in the garden. Depending on the model, you can combine various Stalen Design feeders with a wooden or corten steel pole.

Wall-mounted bird feeder

Do you have less space or want to attach a bird feeder to a facade, wall, or fence? Then a wall-mounted model is a practical solution. These models take up little space and are therefore also suitable for smaller gardens.

Hanging bird feeder

You can hang a hanging bird feeder from a sturdy branch or wall hook, for example. This allows you to easily create a feeding spot without needing a fixed pole or wall mounting.

Feeding birds in the garden

With a bird feeder, you can offer garden birds supplemental food. Different bird species have different preferences. Seeds, sunflower seeds, and suitable bird feed, for example, can attract different types of garden birds.

Preferably feed in small quantities at a time and remove feed that has become wet, moldy, or contaminated. Clean the bird feeder regularly to keep the feeding spot hygienic.

Where should you place a bird feeder?

Preferably choose a quiet and clear spot where birds can easily land and continue to see their surroundings.

Also, keep in mind cats and other potential predators. A higher or freestanding position can help with this.

For hanging and wall models, it is wise to secure the bird feeder firmly. A sheltered spot also helps to keep the food dry and fresh for longer.

Dutch design and production

Stalen Design's bird feeders are designed and produced in the Netherlands. The combination of design, functionality, and material usage is central to this.

By offering various models, mounting options, and sizes, you can choose a bird feeder that fits your garden and way of feeding.

A bird feeder as part of your garden

A bird feeder doesn't just have to be functional. The rust-brown color of corten steel forms a strong contrast with greenery and pairs beautifully with wood, natural stone, and other metal elements.

This way, the birds' feeding spot simultaneously becomes part of your garden's design.
