Product Description

Bellamy Rustic Steel Wall Mount Bug & Insect Hotel for Gardens

The Bellamy Rustic Steel Wall Mount Bug & Insect Hotel offers a perfect refuge for insects and minibeasts, helping you create a welcoming environment in your garden or outdoor space. Designed to provide shelter, breeding spaces, and protection from predators, this bug hotel is both functional and decorative.

Constructed entirely from durable mild steel, the bug hotel is designed to weather naturally over time, developing a stunning, rustic patina that complements any outdoor setting. Its unique two-part design includes a main body and a slotted cover. The slotted cover features a beautiful honeycomb pattern, allowing you to observe the inhabitants while ensuring a secure structure. The small wings on the cover prevent it from sliding completely through the unit, keeping the hotel sturdy and intact.

The beauty of this bug hotel lies in its versatility in your garden. No wood infill is provided, allowing you to get creative and personalise the interior with twigs, leaves, bark, and small wood pieces. This makes it easy to attract the specific types of bugs you want, such as solitary bees, ladybirds, or beetles.

Proudly designed and manufactured in the UK, the Bellamy Bug & Insect Hotel adds charm to gardens, parks, and outdoor spaces, while encouraging biodiversity and supporting local ecosystems.

Rusting Process Explained

At Indoor Outdoors we have many products which we describe as Rustic Steel. This refers to the fact that the item will rust over time to give it that lovely orangey-brown vintage look.

When your product arrives, it may have small patches of rust forming, but it will be in its bare, Mild Steel state. It will be a mostly grey-ish colour. Over time though, as the item is left outside and exposed to the elements, a rusty patina will form on the surface of the steel which gives it that lovely hue. This can take time though, and depends entirely on the outside conditions. Heavy rainfall and bad weather will help it rust faster.

You can speed the rusting process up though, some of our customers have recommended using vinegar, salt or lemon juice on the surface to get that rusty look a little sooner.

Rusting Process for Rustic Steel Products Explained

Want it to rust faster?

Depending on weather conditions, we say it can take anywhere from several weeks, to several months to fully rust. Jason, one of our customers has shared a special tip for achieving that lovely rusty outer in just 2 days!

You can pour equal parts of distilled vinegar and hydrogen peroxide into a spray bottle, along with a 1/4 of a standard cup of salt. Spray this mixture all over the product and it will cause an immediate reaction, rusting in just a matter of days!
