Product Description

Unveil the timeless allure of our Corten Steel Garden Edging—a breathtaking solution to clearly define and elevate your garden's splendor. Ideal for encompassing garden beds, delineating lawns, and framing pathways, this edging gracefully matures with time, adding a unique character that complements various garden styles, plantings, and architectural designs.
Corten steel is an extraordinary choice for garden edging. Its visual appeal is equaled by its strength, durability, and practicality. Over six months, it develops a water-resistant patina that halts further rusting, increasing its strength over time. This protective layer not only reinforces the steel but also significantly prolongs its lifespan, requiring zero maintenance. Opt for our garden edging for a solution that's both stunning and steadfast.
Installing this edging is a breeze and uncomplicated. No special tools needed—just a block of wood and a hammer make it effortlessly accessible for anyone to install.
When is steel edging better than aluminium edging?
Both steel and aluminium edging offer extraordinary durability and weather resistance, each with distinct advantages to accommodate a range of landscaping needs.
Steel's exceptional strength makes it the preferred choice for areas subject to heavy garden machinery or vehicles. Its robustness is also ideal for retaining structures in raised borders, providing steadfast support.
Steel edging offers unmatched versatility in color options, available in untreated, galvanized, Corten weathering steel, or powder-coated finishes in the RAL color of your choice.
What's the difference between untreated steel and Corten steel?
Both untreated and Corten steel develop a striking orange-brown patina over time. However, Corten steel alloys expedite this process, enhancing its visual appeal.
The patina not only amplifies aesthetic charm but also brings practical benefits. Corten steel is highly favored by architects and landscapers for its quickly developing patina that merges seamlessly with organic and natural design themes, suitable for both traditional and modern settings.
How do I prevent Corten steel from staining surrounding stone or concrete?
Corten steel's weathering process can discolor water runoff, potentially causing stains on light or porous surfaces. Thankfully, there are strategies to mitigate this risk.
Pre-weathering your steel before installation minimizes contact with other materials by ensuring that the majority of oxidation takes place beforehand. You can expedite this process by applying specific chemicals to the steel's surface.
Creating a gravel border between the steel and adjacent surfaces helps water drain away, preventing spread and potential staining.
How much maintenance does steel edging need?
Steel, despite being more susceptible to corrosion than aluminium, requires minimal maintenance when crafted from high-grade materials.
The natural oxidation layer on Corten steel generally provides adequate protection under standard conditions, maintaining the integrity of the underlying material.
Powder-coated steel also features high corrosion resistance. To ensure longevity, care should be taken not to damage the powder coating during installation, thereby further protecting against corrosion.

FAQ

Why is edging needed for hard and soft landscaping?

Most hard landscaping surfaces that are walked or driven on need some form of edging. This serves various functions, from the practical to the aesthetic:

• To protect against edge damage
• To provide a level guide for screeding resin-bound and wet-pour surfaces
• To prevent sideways movement of paving laid on tamped sand
• To create a step up or down between surfaces of a different height
• To contain loose aggregates such as gravel and chippings from spreading into surrounding areas
• To create a clear demarcation between contrasting types or colours of hard landscaping.

What is the best edging material for paving?

Most paving is laid on tamped sand, sometimes with 'dot and dab' concrete to hold it more firmly in place. Without a stable edge, the pavers will eventually become dislodged due to foot or vehicle traffic and ground movement. This will lead to other problems:

• Gaps opening between the pavers will encourage weeds, grass and moss to grow.
• As the pavers loosen the surface will become unstable and create trip hazards
• If the paved area is adjacent to soft landscaping (lawns or planted beds) the edge will start to break away

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.
