Description

Your pet is one of a kind and losing them can be heartbreaking.  Let us help you immortalise your best friend with a stunning custom pet statue memorial in your garden.  All of our Custom Pet Memorial signs come staked to allow for easy placement as a grave marker, or in their favourite place in the garden.

We are not limited to just dogs.  We are more than happy to help memorialise any special animal in your life - dogs, cats, horses & more.

As each design is fully unique there is an approx 1-2 week turnaround for your proof. We will check you are happy with the design before we run any cuts.

Photo Tips: 
Photos should be clear, high quality and taken from a low, front-on angle for the photo to convert to a 2D image for cutting.  Photos are converted ‘as-is’ with facial expressions, mouths open/closed and limbs as they are posed.(Specifically for dogs, closed mouths tend to translate ‘sombre’, and open mouths ‘happy’). While we are not able to merge multiple photos together to create the image, multiple reference photos are welcome if there is a specific feature you require.
Your order includes the conversion of one photo. Any additional photo conversions will incur an additional fee.  Please feel free to get in touch with us prior to ordering if you are unsure.

DIMENSIONS:
(signs vary in size depending on the final design - sizes below exclude stakes)
Small: 25cm at longest dimension
Medium: 40cm at longest dimension
Large: approx. 50cm at longest dimension

AVAILABLE FINISHES: 
Rustic: your sign will be cut in 1.6mm REDCOR weathering steel, which requires no additional preservation and will weather into a beautiful rusted finish for years to come. 
Powder coated: Powder-coating is designed for the outdoors and will continue to last while looking amazing. We outsource our powder-coating to a local business. They offer a variety of colours, however our standards are Satin Black and Gloss White. There is approx a 2 week turnaround for this service.

As we cut our items to order they may not be weathered yet when they reach you. We will include a few tips on how to weather your product & get the beautiful rustic patina as quickly as possible.

Weathering Tips

It's our aim to get your sign or ornament to you as quickly as possible, so unfortunately it isn't possible for us to pre-weather them.

This means your item will be in its raw form - the traditional grey steel colour. It doesn't take long to develop the beautiful rusty patina on your item, most will look pretty good within just a couple of weeks.

However, to be fully sealed and for your product to stop leaking any rust, does require 3-6 months. We have experimented with a few different options, and these are our top tips to speed up the weathering process.

Shipping

Within Australia we offer flat rate delivery of $13.5 per order, or $18.5 for express postage.
You are also able to pickup from us at Mt Barker SA – this is free!

Postage on Custom Signs

Postage costs on custom signs & items will be quoted along with your sign and generally starts from $15. Australia Post allow us to send items up to 105cm. If your item is larger than this we will use a courier & charges will apply at cost.

When will I receive my order?

Our processing times do vary, however aim to create & post all orders within 3-5 business days, however sometimes there are factors outside of our control that may effect this. Painted items require a minimum 1-2 week processing time to allow for multiple coats & drying time. Powdercoated items are outsourced to a small local business, and as this is a multistep process that requires curing time between each step please allow 2-3 weeks for processing.

Exactly What I Had Hoped For to Remember My Boy

I had a custom steel plaque made in memory of my beautiful fur baby, Stormy, and it’s absolutely perfect. The craftsmanship is stunning — strong, clean, and made to last, just like he was. It now sits in a new garden, surrounded by Storm Lilies, right where he used to sit sunbathing or watching over the pride lands. It brings such a sense of peace and presence. The process was seamless, and I’m so grateful to have something so personal and meaningful to honour him. Thank you for creating something that truly does him justice.

A lovely memorial for my sweet little doggie

Losing a pet sucks! Honouring my little doggie Tako with his own memorial and grave marker is very special and it's a great likeness that captures his spirit. Thank you

Brilliant piece of memorabilia

I cannot fault Custom Steel Appeal customer service and product. We ordered the garden stake and powder coated piece of our beloved dog Merlot who passed away recently.
The artwork and pieces reflect the true beauty of our Merlot.
The customer service was impeccable during our grieving process.
I would and will purchase again from this business.
Thank you for gifting us timeless products to remind us of our beloved pet 🙌💜

What are the products made from?

While weathering steel is usually referred to by its trademark name COR-TEN (or Corten), we use an Australian made equivalent from Bluescope called REDCOR. It is known for its superior corrosion resistance and thickness. This is because the surface of the steel forms a protective oxide layer when exposed to the weather. In other words, the steel is allowed to rust in order to protect itself. This protective surface layer continues to regenerate over years of exposure.

And it looks AMAZING!
