Pete the Pug Dog Australian Metal Art

Pete the Pug – Australian‑Made Corten Steel Garden Art

Introducing Pete the Pug — the little bloke with the big personality. Made right here in Australia from 100% Australian weathering steel, Pete brings that classic pug charm to your garden: a bit cheeky, a bit stubborn, and absolutely impossible not to love.

Pete measures 50cm high x 24cm wide, is cut from 2mm corten steel, and weighs just 740g — small enough to tuck into any corner of the garden, but bold enough to make people smile as soon as they spot him. Over time, he’ll naturally develop his own rusted coat. Some Petes arrive with more weathering, some with less, depending on how long they’ve been out in the elements. Eventually, he’ll settle into a warm, even patina that suits his squishy‑faced charm perfectly.

Prefer him looking fresh and silver instead of rusty? You can request a raw steel version which we will endeavour to provide if available at that time. A quick spray of rust inhibitor from Bunnings will slow his patina with a re‑coat whenever needed.

Every Pete sold supports two small Australian businesses, so he’s not just cute — he’s a good boy too.

And don't forget you're buying 100% Australian Made. So if you love Aussie made, the hunt is over!

Pete’s ready to waddle into your garden and steal the show.
