FAQ?
How long can I expect my Nightscaping® weathered steel (rusted) Bollard to last?
All of Nightscaping’s weathered steel fixtures come with a structural lifetime warranty. Nightscaping guarantees that the fixture will not rust through or fail to function normally with proper care for the lifetime of the original owner. Additionally, the fixture’s associated components will function properly with proper care for the lifetime of the original owner.
* Lifetime Guarantee does not cover lamps, metal finishes, or sockets.
Please Note:
Nightscaping’s bollards and path lights are fabricated from heavy gauge, high-grade steel. Powder coated or anodized finishes can be reapplied at some distant time when the original attractive appearance might fade. Consult your local metal finishing expert or return to Nightscaping for a quote.
What will void Nightscaping’s® Lifetime Structural Warranty?
The fixture’s metal housing and base have been buried in soil and/or mulch.
Note:Concrete piers and ABS/PVC plastic stakes are intended to elevate the light’s metal housing at least ½” inch above soil level. Mulch may be used to hide piers and stakes, but do not cover the fixture’s metal base with soil and/or mulch. This will void the warranty.
The finish has been spoiled by direct and frequent spray by sprinklers. This may shorten the fixture life and may reduce the attractive appearance of the finish depending on local water conditions.
The fixture’s internal components have been receiving direct and frequent spray from sprinklers. The protective enclosure around the light engine provides protection from normal weather conditions, but not direct rising spray from sprinklers.
Steel fixtures installed within 10 miles of salt water. For salt water applications please consider using Nightscaping’s Zinc Plated Powder Coated Bollards/ Path Lights or custom Stainless Steel/Copper Plated Bollard options. For custom Bollards please call Nightscaping.
The installation was not properly performed according to installation instructions that accompany the fixtures and are also available on Nightscaping’s website..

Product Finish and Damage Disclaimer
Nightscaping products are constructed of natural, raw materials such as copper, stainless steel, bronze and high-grade steel which are subject to natural aging over time that will create an aged patina. Naturally, some materials are subject to fading in extreme conditions. Nightscaping’s natural raw steel products will arrive with a “young” finish and you may experience some rust bleeding for a few months until the natural, hardened mature rust finish has set. Please take care not to place the fixture on any surfaces that will be negatively affected by the iron oxide bleeding that may occur through this initial finishing process.
Nightscaping also offers its products with a powder coated finish. This finish is warrantied from defect from a period of 5 years from the date of purchase. Physical damage to the fixtures which results in a chipping of the powder coated finish or incorrect installation procedures may void the finish warranty of the product at Nightscaping’s sole discretion. Powder coated product can be returned to Nightscaping at any point in time for refinishing if desired. Email [email protected] for pricing and details.
Any product damage resulting from vandalism, negligent abuse or an act of God which is beyond the normal aging and wear of the product determined by Nightscaping to be beyond the ordinary use (excessive) shall void any, and all warranties herein either expressed or implied.

The Nightscaping Courtyard Series decorative bollard path lights are perfectly suited for use in smaller residential settings or anywhere a typical “Cap & Stick” type of path or area light is utilized. Their diminutive size allows them to virtually disappear into the landscape by day. When the sun sets, these small garden gems spring out from the shadows, illuminating pathways, the edges of patios, and small garden spaces.
