Cast Iron Installation & Care Information
Once the product is cast, cleaned, and rough edges sanded, we then can drill, cut, counter sink, and powder coat all of our products in a thick and rich black powder coat. This gives the product a high rust resistance and will allow the product to withstand severe weather much longer than other traditionally waxed or thin powder coated hardware.
Because this product is Cast Iron it will eventually rust if exposed to water or extreme outside environments. It is impossible to define a time frame on this naturally occurring process. The powder coat process works to prevent this as long as possible but take care to prevent scratches and damage that might speed up the formation of rust. Oiling the hardware can help delay this process.
Under no circumstances should a power drill or battery operated screw driver be used for fastener installation - Pilot holes and a handheld screw driver is enough to get any job done,
