Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Find answers to common questions about The Orb, from product features to dealer opportunities, so you can make the best choice for your outdoor space or business.
- 01
The Orb is made of Corten steel (also known as weathering steel). This material develops a natural layer of rust that protects the steel underneath, making it very durable and low-maintenance. Thanks to this protective layer of rust, the Orb is resistant to weather influences, requires no painting, and gains a warm, natural look that blends beautifully with its surroundings.
- 02
No, the Orb will not be (fully) rusty upon delivery. Due to the production process, the Orb is not rusty when delivered. To ensure high-quality welding, the Corten steel is not rusted at that stage. The rusting process can take several weeks to months, depending on the weather conditions.
- 03
Yes, the Orb is sustainable. It is made of Corten steel, a durable and sustainable material with a long lifespan. In addition, you can choose to use our optional bio-ethanol burner instead of burning wood, which makes it a cleaner option for you. To contribute further to the environment: For every Orb sold, we plant a tree.
- 04
The Orb is crafted from durable Corten steel, which naturally develops a protective rust layer. This unique feature ensures minimal maintenance and excellent resistance to weather conditions. Cleaning is simple—just use a brush and water. The fire bowl, composed of two separate parts, can be easily lifted out along with wood remnants and ash, making it convenient to empty and keep the Orb and fire bowl clean.
- 05
Yes, the Orb is available in XL and L sizes. A Medium (M) sized version will also be released soon, so you’ll have even more options to choose from. See for more info our product page.
- 06
Yes, you can move the Orb. There is a special trolley available that can be temporarily mounted under the Orb, allowing you to easily transport it. For very rough surfaces like gravel or loose sand, you may need to place temporary boards for smoother movement. The transport trolley is sold separately and can be purchased along with the Orb.
- 07
Yes, we offer customization. It is possible to have your own logo or text incorporated into the base plate of the Orb. This allows you to personalize your Orb, for example for your company, association or just because you like it. Please contact us to discuss the available options.
