Description

Fantails aren’t the only ones who love to climb.

Support your trailing and climbing plants in the sweetest way with our Pīwakawaka Plant Trellis. With a honeycomb-inspired frame and a silhouette of Aotearoa’s cheekiest native bird, this trellis offers both structure and charm. Crafted from durable 3mm Corten® steel, it naturally develops a rust-like patina over time, blending beautifully with your plant’s foliage.

Whether it's for a pothos, monstera, or hoya, your plant gets the vertical support it craves — and you get a backyard icon, indoors.

30cm high × 15cm wide, approx. 150g
Easy to gift – packaged in a standard A4 box (31 × 21 × 1cm)
Same-day dispatch – orders before 2pm sent weekdays
Locally made – crafted in a family-run factory in NZ
Built to last – 3mm Corten® steel designed to weather beautifully
Functional and decorative – offers climbing support + native style

Fantails flit and flutter — but this install is grounded and easy.

1. Choose a medium-to-large pot with good soil depth
2. Insert the stake firmly into soil — away from the plant’s base
3. Angle the trellis so your Pīwakawaka faces out proudly
4. Gently wrap or tie vines using soft ties or clips as needed
5. Sit back and watch your plant reach new heights

Top tip: Avoid placing the stake directly against the stem — give your plant room to grow and climb naturally.

What plants work best with the Pīwakawaka trellis?
Any climbing or trailing plant will love it! Think pothos, philodendron, string of pearls, jasmine or hoya.

Is the trellis suitable for outdoor use?
Yes — it's made from Corten® steel, which is designed to withstand the elements and develop a protective patina over time.

Will the trellis damage my plant?
Not at all! Just insert it away from the roots and give your plant space to wind and climb.

How long will it last?
Corten® steel is built to last a lifetime outdoors — and it only looks better with age.

Do I need tools to install it?
No! Just push into the soil by hand — no hammers, drills or stress required.

Each Metalbird is crafted from Corten® Steel, a premium, weathering steel made to last.

When it meets the elements, it doesn’t rust like your old BBQ. It transforms.

That change you’re seeing? That’s patina. A tough, protective outer layer that seals the steel, adds character, and preserves your bird for decades.

This isn’t paint. It’s nature’s way of ageing gracefully.

The Patina Process:

At first, you’ll notice bright orange spots (we call this the teenage phase). Soon enough, the whole bird will turn a bold orange, slowly shifting into deep burnt umber. Eventually, it settles into a moody charcoal that feels like it’s always belonged.

The Result? A piece of industrial art with a heartbeat. No peeling, no fading, just a bird that gets better with age.
