The Block Head’s take
The Block Head’s take: Schots is the shop the teams reach for when a yard needs to feel lived in. Teak, concrete and rust-coloured steel is the 2026 outdoor look, and most of it is on this one list.

If you are thinking of buying
- Check the finish: reclaimed teak and corten both weather. Decide whether you want the aged look before you buy.
- Measure for the Kamado: the 26 inch size is a big barbecue; check bench or table cut-outs.
- Match the planters: the corten planters pair naturally with steel edging such as Straightcurve.
