FAQs
The most common questions about Designer Palms products:
The bark and frond leaves are made from rust-resistant galvanneal steel. The stems and trunk frame are forged from durable carbon steel.
Yes. They’re designed to withstand the harshest Kansas weather—ice, snow, wind, and heat. Over time, they develop a natural patina that makes them look even more authentic, just like real palms.
We age the metal to achieve the right patina. Once installed, the trunk and fronds will continue to change naturally. The forged carbon-steel stems will also develop surface rust that enhances the realistic, branch-like appearance.
They’re completely maintenance-free.
They can be bolted to a wood deck, anchored to a concrete patio, or weighted down using one of our custom planters.
We offer personal delivery and installation throughout the Midwest and Northeast. For other regions, we ship via freight in a secure crate.
The very first tree, built in 2001, is still standing today.
