The Outdoor Corten Water Table is manufactured in our own factory, where precision shaping is achieved through laser cutting, bending, punching, and welding. It is available in square and rectangular shapes, as well as in various custom sizes.
The low-profile version, approximately 400 millimeters tall, serves as a visual focal point in the courtyard; the 700–1,300mm models create a more striking three-dimensional effect; and the 2,500mm long version is ideal for shared spaces such as restaurants and hotels.
The straight edges balance aesthetic appeal with practicality, ensuring that the weathering steel water table is more than just a decorative piece.
Choose the pre-rusted option to quickly achieve a mature, weathered look; opt for the un-rusted version to watch the surface gradually develop a natural patina as it interacts with the outdoor environment.
A bowl is a shape. A table is a surface. That distinction drives everything about how the piece is specified and used:

Our standard range covers three low tables at 400 mm high — 800 × 800, 1000 × 1000 and 1200 × 1200 mm — plus three taller formats at 600 × 600 mm in 700, 1000 and 1300 mm, and a long communal table at 2500 × 1000 × 400 mm. Any of these can be adapted to a project drawing.
Body panels across our residential water features run from 3–5 mm. The gauge is chosen for the format and the water depth rather than fixed for the whole range, because thickness governs rigidity, weight and how the panel behaves under load. Ask us to confirm the gauge on the model you are specifying.
Rust-coloured runoff is possible during the initial stages of patina formation, and it can mark light-coloured paving. We recommend laying a gravel buffer zone beneath the table so water drains away from the paving — it matters most where children or pets walk around the feature. Runoff is heaviest while the oxide layer is still forming.
No. Weathering steel forms its own protective oxide layer, so nothing is painted or sealed and there is no finish product to reapply. Upkeep is limited to keeping debris out of the water and topping up the level. In cold or rainy regions, follow the general guidance for outdoor weathering steel; in hard-freeze climates, drain the water body before winter, because standing water — not the steel — is the risk.
No. A water table is a still-water feature: there is no falling sheet, so there is no constant water sound and no spray drifting onto surrounding surfaces. That is why it suits enclosed courtyards, where the noise and overspray of a fountain tend to cause friction with neighbours.
Yes. The wide, shallow water plane suits birds and larger pets — it is easy to drink from, and the flat rim resists knocks and spills better than a thin edge. It is one of the more practical formats for family gardens, where the feature does two jobs without looking like pet equipment.
Yes. Dimensions can be produced to your drawing, and the surface can be ordered rusted or unrusted. Order it rusted and the patina arrives established; order it unrusted and the colour develops on site over the first season. Colour is normally rusty red, with painted options available — confirm finish and lead time when you order.
Whether you need standard dimensions, custom drawings, or immediate pre-rusted finishes — our team is here to assist with technical specs and lead times.
