Corten Steel Moongate Garden Archway

The Corten Steel Moongate is a large circular garden archway that turns a path, entrance or planting bed into a landmark. It measures 87 inches (7 ft 3 in) in diameter with a 6 inch wide sidewall, so it reads as a bold sculptural ring from every angle. It is made from Corten weathering steel, and is also available in black powder-coated steel, polished stainless steel and custom colors. Every moongate is made to order and ships in three sections.

A modern moon gate for gardens and landscapes

The moon gate is a circular garden opening inspired by traditional Asian gardens. In steel, it becomes a clean, modern landscape sculpture that frames a view, marks a transition between garden rooms or stands alone as a statement piece. Use it to frame a pathway or stone walkway, define the entrance to an outdoor living area, or create a sculptural focal point in a modern or traditional garden. Climbing plants and landscape lighting bring out its form even more.

Finish options

Corten steel

Corten develops a warm, rust-toned patina outdoors. The color deepens over time as a stable protective layer forms, so no painting or sealing is needed, and each moongate ages with its own character. While the patina is developing, rust-colored runoff can mark light-colored porous surfaces such as pale concrete or stone, so we recommend setting it on soil, gravel, pavers or another surface you are comfortable with.

Black powder-coated steel

A durable black powder coat for a crisp, graphic ring that stands out against greenery, stone and light walls.

Polished stainless steel

A bright, reflective finish that mirrors the sky and surrounding landscape.
