{"product_id":"yuletide-metal-porch-leaner","title":"YULETIDE Metal Porch Leaner","description":"\u003cp\u003eThere’s a certain kind of Christmas that smells of evergreen boughs and feels like a well-worn quilt pulled close. A wreath on the door, a light in the window, and a quiet porch waiting for familiar footsteps. Our YULETIDE Metal Porch Leaner belongs to that old-fashioned holiday world, with a slender woodland tree and a greeting that feels wonderfully at home.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eYour piece at a glance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: 48” tall × 10” wide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: 14- or 16-gauge steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish choices: Raw, Rusted, or Flat Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrice: $190, including your selected finish and free shipping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisplay: Lean, hang, or mount; four pinholes, one in each corner\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardware: No mounting or hanging hardware included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduction: Handmade to order in 7–10 business days, plus carrier transit time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAn old-fashioned woodland welcome\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eTall YULETIDE lettering runs down one side of the panel beside a sparse, graceful evergreen. Three snowflakes and snowy ground shapes complete the scene, giving this Christmas porch sign a simple primitive character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe lettering and decorative openings are cut through the steel. They are genuine open spaces—not white paint or a backing panel—so the wall or scenery behind your piece becomes part of its appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLean it beside a front door with a bucket of evergreen branches, mount it near an entry bench, or hang it on a covered porch using your own suitable hardware. It pairs beautifully with pinecone garlands, burlap bows, plaid blankets, and lanterns, whether your holiday home is a little cottage, a farmhouse, or a cabin tucked among the trees.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor primitive décor collectors and anyone who loves a quieter, nostalgic Christmas, this piece offers a seasonal greeting without needing an elaborate display. It also makes a thoughtful handmade gift for a porch-loving holiday decorator.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eChoose your finish\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRaw\u003cbr\u003eRaw means steel as it comes from the steel mill. We clean your piece before shipment, but it remains otherwise unfinished and unsealed. Raw steel naturally oxidizes and develops rust or patina over time. Its aging will vary with humidity, weather, handling, atmosphere, and display location.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRusted — The Dirt Road Gardener signature hand-rusted finish\u003cbr\u003eOur Rusted finish is genuine rust—not paint, faux rust, powder coating, or a printed finish. We begin the rusting process by hand using ordinary household ingredients, including vinegar, hydrogen peroxide, and salt.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe steel is intentionally left unsealed so it can continue naturally rusting and developing a deeper patina. Variations in color, texture, and rust pattern are expected and are part of the character of genuine weathered steel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnsealed rust may transfer to hands, clothing, walls, flooring, furniture, or other surfaces it contacts. Please consider surrounding surfaces when choosing your display location. If you love the finish exactly as it arrives and want to slow continued oxidation, you may choose to apply an appropriate clear protective coating after receiving it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFlat Black\u003cbr\u003eFlat Black gives the lettering, snowflakes, and evergreen a crisp silhouette that complements natural greenery, light-colored siding, and traditional holiday accents.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHandmade to order, with free shipping\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlease allow 7–10 business days for production.
