Originally used in agriculture, these strakes were essential components of horse-drawn, and early powered machinery, providing traction and durability to wheels as they traversed rugged terrain. Their robust design, built to withstand the rigors of farming, now brings a touch of the past into the present.

The industrial design of these large diameter wheel strakes, adds a striking visual element to gardens. Their age-worn patina, developed over decades, tells a story of hard work and resilience. The rich, rusty hues, combined with the cast iron’s weathered texture, create a sense of timelessness. This rustic finish allows the strakes to fit seamlessly into both wild and traditional garden landscapes.

In a wild garden, the strakes complement the untamed beauty of nature, enhancing the organic flow of the space.
