Outdoor Metal Wall Art & Decor

By Zoe Harper, Home Decor & Metal Art Expert

Two things make great outdoor wall art: extraordinary material quality and unique, modern design.

We’re going to cover all the details of our outdoor metal wall art collection, as well as where and how you can place it in your outdoor environment. Stay tuned.

Here are the topics we’re about to discuss:

• Weatherproof Quality
• Black Color
• Modern Design
• Best Sellers
• Where to Install
• How to Hang Outdoor Wall Art

This is the first thing that distinguishes outdoor wall art from regular wall art. This kind of art should withstand outdoor conditions: rain, snow, sun, you name it.

You can’t put paintings or posters outside; they would not survive long. You should consider other materials.

In most cases, it would be metal. You can use glass or plastic too, but those are more suited for the advertising industry, not home decor.

And by the way, you can’t use just ANY metal outdoors because it will rust. It should be special metal.

We use either 2mm hot-dip galvanized steel or high-grade aluminum for our outdoor wall art, depending on the size and design of each piece.

“Hot-dip galvanized” means that this steel was immersed in a huge bath of molten zinc, which creates a protective layer on top of the metal. Don’t worry, this zinc layer is not toxic and is widely used in construction, automotive parts, and household items.

When steel is hot-dip galvanized, it is protected against rust and humid environments. Our aluminum pieces, on the other hand, are naturally resistant to corrosion without the need for additional treatments.

Both materials excel in different conditions. Our Coastal collection is particularly popular among customers from tropical places like Florida.

It's worth noting that there is another method called “electro-galvanization,” which also covers steel with a layer of zinc. But that layer is much thinner, and we would not suggest using metal wall art that was electro-galvanized in humid outdoor environments. We only use hot-dip galvanized steel when steel is the chosen material.

Whether we use steel or aluminum, you can trust that your outdoor art will last. We pick the best material for each design to make sure it looks great and stands up to the weather for years to come.

As we just learned, hot-dip galvanized steel and aluminum are already sufficient to make your metal wall art suitable for outdoor environments. But here comes the next layer - powder coating. This is what gives the outdoor art its color.

We cover our artwork with premium matte black powder coating. For those who don't know, it's not regular paint. It's not liquid.

To cover artwork with this powder, you need to have an industrial facility. The artwork is electrostatically charged. When the powder is applied, it adheres to the metal because of the opposite charge. Then the metal parts go into an oven, creating a smooth surface and curing the powder to the metal.

The result is an extraordinary surface. The engineers at our facility say that even if we applied this powder coating to ordinary metal, it would be sufficient for normal outdoor use (not too humid, though). But we always use double protection - zinc and powder coating.

Now that you know more about the manufacturing process, let’s talk about the color. All our models have a premium matte black surface.

Why black, you ask?

The black color is very versatile and will blend with many decoration styles. You can’t go wrong with black metal wall art; it blends perfectly into almost any exterior.

Plus, we use “super matte black,” not just black. Since it’s often sunny outside, you don’t want the art to be glossy because it will change the perception of the art completely. It is much better when it’s matte, trust us.

Remember in the beginning I told you about two things that make great outdoor art? We just covered the first part - quality. Now comes the second - design.

Without a great, catchy design, there is no reason to even explore the quality characteristics. You should love the design of your new wall art. It should be so catchy that you can confidently say, "Yes, this is it. I want to hang this in my outdoor patio."

We focus more on modern design, rather than rustic, classic, or animal-inspired. There are several reasons for that. First, we love modern and abstract designs more. Second, modern design can blend with both traditional and contemporary outdoor decor. Whereas rustic wall art in a modern exterior would look out of place.

Finally, modern and abstract designs are more timeless. You might get tired of a metal deer in the garden quickly, but sleek abstract forms for your outdoor backdrop can be enjoyed for years to come.

If you ask what our most popular product is, it’s no secret...

It is our horizontal outdoor metal wall art. The lines and forms are so unique, we bet you’ve not seen anything like it before. The largest size is 93 inches wide and 45 inches high, and this is the best-selling size. This preference for larger pieces is common for outdoor spaces, as exteriors typically offer more room to showcase impressive wall art compared to interior settings.

The second best-selling model is our vertical Abstract black metal wall art. Again, the largest size (21x52 inches) is the most popular. It is almost as large as the previous model, just turned vertically. Vertical orientation is useful for many because not everyone has a wide wall in their backyard; some have narrow spaces that need a unique twist.

Now that you know about our outdoor metal wall art quality and design, let's discuss the best places to install these pieces. The right placement can completely transform your outdoor space.

The most popular spot is the main wall of your patio or lanai. This is typically the largest uninterrupted wall space in your outdoor area. Our Jumbo size (93"x45") horizontal model makes an incredible impact on these large walls, especially in luxury homes across Florida, California, Nevada, and Arizona.

Another prime location is directly above your outdoor seating area. The horizontal design of our pieces works perfectly above sofas or lounge chairs. For this placement, the Large (54"x26") size often provides the perfect proportions, though many opt for the Extra Large (74"x36") for more dramatic impact.

The wall space above or adjacent to your outdoor kitchen or grill station is often overlooked. Our horizontal models create visual interest in what would otherwise be purely functional spaces. The black matte finish is also practical here, as it won't show smoke or cooking residue.

For those with swimming pools, the long wall that runs alongside the pool offers an expansive canvas. The Jumbo size (93"x45") is particularly popular for pool areas, as the larger scale works well with the open space. The reflection of black metal art on water creates a doubling effect that's particularly dramatic at night.

Privacy walls and fences don't have to be boring! Our horizontal designs can break up the monotony of privacy barriers. For these applications, the Large (54"x26") works well on standard 6-foot privacy walls, while taller barriers might call for the Extra Large (74"x36").

Placing metal wall art among your plantings creates a striking contrast between organic shapes and precise modern lines. The matte black finish stands out beautifully against green foliage. Our all-weather durability means you don't have to worry about irrigation systems or morning dew affecting your installation.

Remember, whatever placement you choose, our metal wall art is designed to withstand the elements in all climates - from the humidity of Florida to the dry heat of Arizona and Nevada to the varied conditions of coastal California.

Hanging the wall art is not a big deal. You can definitely do it yourself, but for larger sizes, it’s good to have an extra pair of hands to help.

Here is how you hang your wall art in your backyard:

1. Put the wall art against the wall. Make sure it’s aligned horizontally (or vertically for vertical models). This is where a family member or friend would be helpful.
2. Mark the holes with a pencil.
3. Drill the holes and fix the mounting barrels. (We include all necessary fixtures in the box.)
4. Once the barrels are mounted, place the art over the barrels and secure it using the screw caps.
5. Done! Super easy!

Enjoy your new wall art each time you have a meal outside or a peaceful talk with family!
