Your Choice of Rustic or Natural Steel Finish. Finish Descriptions: Rusty Finish: Aged to a nice rustic patina, these will work inside or out, and give a true rustic charm. For outdoor use, we recommend treating with a clearcoat or polyurethane to prevent rust from running over time. Natural Steel: This is an untreated steel version, mostly silver in color with minor blemishes. Ideal for projects that will be painted, or leave them as is for a truly natural look. You can also rust them on your own to achieve a specific look. ***PLEASE NOTE: If you do not paint or treat Natural Steel with a paint or clearcoat, they may rust over time depending on your local environment
