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.

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.
Customer Reviews
Love this snazzy addition to our main gate! We made the words pop with some gaffer tape and it looks a treat. Easy to hang and glad we ordered it. Might have to consider an alpaca, goat and hen so none of the animals are jealous there’s only a sheep sign! Lucky we have a few gates…
Thank you for the awesome sign, I love it!!
It looks great and so far it has worked a treat, the humans and sheep have kept the gate shut since I put it up!!
I love my sheep shut the gate sign.

Good quality, rusted look after placing water on it as instructed. Arrived on time in great condition, good price point.
