Are Palm Trees of Steel Practicle?

Yes, Palm Trees of Steel are designed to hold up to the harshest weather; ice, snow, wind and heat.

How are they installed?

Palm Trees of Steel can be bolted to a wood deck, concrete patio, or stand alone with our planter. We have complete color coded instructions. We also do custom design for your custom area.

Are the cocunut lights included?

Some people like them with coconuts and some like them without. All of the palms can have them, depending how much light you want. They operate on low voltage and can be wired in to your outdoor lighting.

Can you paint them?

Yes, but most people let them age with time, the older they get, the more realistic they look.

Do they rust?

We age the metal to get the right patina. Once it's installed the trunk and fronds will change over time. the stems are made of a carbon steel, and then forged for the shape. They will form surface rust that will define the stems and make them look more realistic.

How long does it take to make one?

It takes about forty man hours depending on the size and materials used.

How long does it take to get one?

You can send pictures of the area you want the trees to placed, then we can custom design one in about 6-8 weeks depending on the time of season; or you can pick from our show display now.

How do you ship them?

We have our own special trailers or we can crate them for a semi trailer.

New Construction:

What time frame are you looking at?

We have a program just for new construction. The metal on our palms need to be aged for at least 4 to 6 months to get proper patina. So on new construction we can secure the material for the proper patina with a small deposit. That way we can guarantee today's price for a later delivery.
