Description
Lay a bit of barnyard style along the path with the Sunset Vista Designs Horsing Around Cast Iron Horseshoe Star Stepping Stone. Called the Star of the Stable, it is a horseshoe with nail slots along the rim and a five-point star filling the center, cast in solid iron with a distressed rust-brown finish that looks aged and vintage. At about 10" across and half an inch thick, it is a medium stepping stone that will not crack or chip like resin or cement, so it holds up in yards that freeze in winter.
Key Features
- Solid cast iron: Hand-crafted in durable iron that will not crack or chip like resin or cement stones, even where the ground freezes.
- Horseshoe and star design: A horseshoe with nail slots along the rim and a raised five-point star across the center.
- Rust-brown finish: A distressed, aged brown that goes with nearly any color scheme yet still stands out against mulch or lawn.
- Medium size: About 10" in diameter and 0.5" thick, an easy step for a garden path.
- Sunset Vista Designs: A family-run outdoor decor company that has been designing whimsical garden art, wind chimes and hanging decor for garden centers since the 1990s.
How to Use It
Lay it flat on level soil, mulch or gravel where you want a foothold, such as the strip between a patio and the lawn, a bed you step into to weed or the walk to a shed or barn. Use several in a row to make a path, spacing them about one stride apart, or set a single one as an accent near a gate or water spigot. Press it down so it sits flush and does not rock. It needs no sealing and can stay out through snow and ice. Rinse off mud with a hose now and then. Pair it with other Sunset Vista Designs western and horse-themed garden art for a stable look.
A Thoughtful Gift
Horse lovers, riders and anyone finishing a new landscaping project will appreciate this stepping stone. It makes a solid housewarming gift for a farmhouse or country property, and a few of them together turn into a path that lasts for years.
