Experience the refined beauty of our Corten Steel Garden Edging—a magnificent choice to define and elevate your garden's splendor. Perfectly suited for containing garden beds, bordering lush lawns, and framing picturesque pathways, this edging gracefully evolves over time, adding distinct character that harmonizes with any garden style, planting scheme, and architectural motif.
Corten steel stands as an extraordinary material for garden edging. Its aesthetic charm is seamlessly complemented by its formidable strength, longevity, and practicality. Within six months, it develops a water-tight patina that halts further rusting, growing more robust with each passing day. This protective layer not only strengthens the steel but also prolongs its lifespan, eliminating the need for maintenance. Choose our garden edging for an enduringly beautiful and dependable solution.
Installing this edging is a breeze—simple and straightforward. No specialized tools are required; just a wooden block and a hammer make it easy for anyone to complete the installation.
When is steel edging the preferred choice over aluminium edging?
Both steel and aluminium edging deliver outstanding durability and resilience against the elements, each offering distinct advantages tailored to various landscaping requirements.
Steel's exceptional strength makes it the premier option for areas subjected to heavy garden machinery or vehicular traffic. Its robustness is ideal for supporting structures in raised borders, offering steadfast reliability.
Steel edging provides unmatched versatility in color options, available in untreated, galvanized, Corten weathering steel, or powder-coated finishes, tailored to your preferred RAL color palette.
What distinguishes untreated steel from Corten steel?
Both untreated and Corten steel naturally develop a striking orange-brown patina over time. However, Corten steel alloys enhance this process, magnifying its visual allure.
The patina not only enhances aesthetic beauty but also provides practical advantages. Architects and landscapers favor Corten steel for its rapidly developing patina that effortlessly integrates with organic and natural design concepts, complementing both traditional and contemporary environments.
How can I prevent Corten steel from staining surrounding stone or concrete?
The weathering process of Corten steel may result in water runoff discoloring, potentially staining light or porous surfaces. Thankfully, there are strategies to mitigate this possibility.
Pre-weathering the steel prior to installation minimizes contact with other materials by ensuring most oxidation occurs beforehand. Accelerate this process by applying specific chemicals to the steel's surface.
Creating a gravel border between the steel and nearby surfaces permits water to drain effectively, avoiding dispersion and potential staining.
How much maintenance does steel edging require?
Steel, although more susceptible to corrosion than aluminium, demands minimal upkeep when crafted from superior-grade materials.
The natural oxidation layer on Corten steel generally offers ample protection under usual conditions, safeguarding the underlying metal.
Powder-coated steel also provides exceptional corrosion resistance. To ensure prolonged durability, avoid damaging the powder coating during installation, which further protects against corrosion.
Pin kerbing or pavers, set on a solid concrete base and haunched, will create a solid edge that can either blend with or complement the rest of the paving.
However, this method may require several site visits to lay the foundation, then lay and haunch the edging, and time between for the base and haunching to cure before the paving can be laid.
If aluminium or steel edging is used, the paving can be laid as soon as the edging is installed. Both products feature a narrow profile that makes them inconspicuous against paving and soft landscaping, and neither has the problem of grass die-back caused by concrete.
