Rather Splendid Garden Metalwork That Actually Looks the Part
Look, we'll be honest with you. We've made a woodpecker out of steel that's been deliberately left to rust. It sounds slightly mad, but somehow it works rather well. The patina is rather gorgeous, and it sits there looking altogether rather distinguished in a way mass-produced imports simply don't manage.
Why Choose Our Rusty Metal Woodpecker
Properly Built Steel: We've crafted this from 2mm thick high grade steel, not the thin, floppy versions you'll find elsewhere. It's built to last, which is rather the point of garden decoration.
Beautifully Aged: Our rusting process creates an authentic patina that only improves with time. None of that plastic pretend rust nonsense.
Flexible Installation: The two mounting points are utterly accommodating. Drill through and screw to your fence or shed, or gently tap the pointed branch end into a predrilled hole. You can even glue it if you're feeling adhesive-inclined.
Made Right Here: Handcrafted in the UK by people who actually care about what they're making.
Thoughtfully Sustainable: We've rather committed to doing things properly. Metal is endlessly recyclable, our packaging is recycled cardboard and reusable kraft bags made in the UK, and even our cable ties are reusable. Because decent products should be decent to the planet too.

This one rather makes a statement. Customers do seem to appreciate having something on their garden that doesn't look like everyone else's. Rather join them and see what all the fuss is about.

At checkout, you'll see exactly where this particular brand can send your goodies.
We're terribly sorry, but shipping costs do vary rather wildly depending on where you are in the world. The exact figures pop up at checkout - no nasty surprises!
RETURNS

Now, we absolutely adore our brand partners - they work incredibly hard and we do try to support them as much as we possibly can. So I'm rather afraid we have to pass the return postage costs back to you. Frightfully sorry about that!

We Have Lots More Like This.........
Hello, we are Sostter....
Sostter began, as all good ideas do, with a lively conversation and a shared sense of frustration. Why had the world of independent design become so serious, so samey, so… beige? Where was the spark, the imagination, the sheer joy of discovering something that made you stop and stare?
We dreamt of a marketplace that celebrated difference — where curious minds could explore a world of independent brands, design-led makers, and thoughtful artisans. A space that felt exciting, human, and beautifully imperfect.
Today, Sostter brings together remarkable people and their creations — from London to Lausanne, Brooklyn to Berlin — uniting makers and discoverers through craftsmanship, creativity, and conscience. Every object tells a story, and every purchase supports an independent brand doing things differently.
This is just the beginning. But enough about us — step inside, explore our world, and see what catches your imagination.
Giving Back
We’re proud to support Sutton Night Watch, a grassroots UK charity making a real difference in the lives of those facing homelessness. Through regular donations of stock, supplies, and essentials, we back their mission to offer warmth, dignity, and practical help to anyone in need — right where it matters most.
