The Copper Argument for the Garden Wall
Copper belongs on the garden wall the way stone belongs in the boundary — not as a decorative addition but as a material that has always been part of the great garden wall traditions of the world.
Copper is weather-resistant. The garden wall is a fully exposed outdoor environment — the direct sun, the rain, the frost, the seasonal temperature changes. The UV-resistant, weather-resistant outdoor lacquer finish on Natuross outdoor copper panels resists the full outdoor exposure of the garden wall environment.
Copper develops a natural patina on the garden wall. The outdoor environment of the garden wall accelerates the natural patina development of copper — the surface becoming more beautiful over time, the installation aging with the garden it belongs to. The Green Copper finish references the natural outdoor patina of copper in the garden environment — the most garden-specific finish in the catalog.
Copper is antimicrobial. In the garden environment — the humidity, the rain, the biological activity of the planted space — copper inhibits the growth of mould and algae. The copper panel on a garden wall is not just beautiful. It is the correct material choice for the outdoor garden environment.
Copper is warm. The warm tone of copper makes the garden wall feel as considered as the indoor walls of the home it belongs to — the material that bridges the indoor and the outdoor, the warm metal on the outdoor boundary.

"The botanical feature panel and the wall cap strip changed the entire garden wall. Every time I walk through the garden, the copper makes the boundary feel as considered as the indoor walls of the home — the warm metal on the garden wall, the hammered surface alive in the afternoon light. The garden wall went from a boundary to a feature. The copper made it belong." — Natuross customer
