Unveil the elegance of our Corten Steel Garden Edging—a breathtaking solution crafted to delineate and enhance the beauty of your garden. Ideal for containing garden beds, bordering lush lawns, and framing picturesque pathways, this edging matures gracefully with age, offering a unique character that seamlessly complements every garden style, planting, and architectural design.
Corten steel is a remarkable choice for garden edging, offering not only aesthetic appeal but also exceptional strength, durability, and practicality. Over time, it forms a water-tight patina, preventing further rusting and enhancing its robustness. This protective layer not only fortifies the steel but also extends its lifespan, all while requiring zero maintenance. Choose our garden edging for a solution that is as reliable as it is beautiful, offering enduring elegance.
Installing this exquisite edging is both effortless and straightforward. No special tools are needed—simply use a block of wood and a hammer to make installation a breeze for anyone.
When is steel edging better than aluminium edging?
Both steel and aluminium edging provide exceptional durability and resilience against the elements, each offering unique benefits tailored to satisfy diverse landscaping needs.
With superior strength, steel is the perfect choice for supporting areas subjected to heavy garden machinery or vehicular traffic. Its robustness makes it ideal for retaining structures in raised borders, offering steadfast support.
Steel edging provides unparalleled versatility in color selection, available in untreated, galvanized, Corten weathering steel, or powder-coated finishes in your choice of RAL color for personalized elegance.
What's the difference between untreated steel and Corten steel?
Both untreated and Corten steel develop a striking orange-brown patina over time. Corten steel alloys, however, accelerate this transformation, enriching its allure with a quicker, more dramatic visual appeal.
The patina not only enhances visual appeal but also offers practical benefits. Corten steel is highly favored by architects and landscapers for its swift-developing patina that harmonizes effortlessly with organic and natural design concepts, suiting both traditional and contemporary settings.
How do I prevent Corten steel from staining surrounding stone or concrete?
Corten steel's weathering process can cause water runoff discoloration, potentially staining light or porous surfaces. Luckily, there are strategies to mitigate this risk effectively.
Pre-weathering the steel before installation helps minimize contact with other materials, ensuring most oxidation occurs 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 allows water to drain away efficiently, preventing spread and potential staining, preserving both aesthetic and structural integrity.
How much maintenance does steel edging need?
While steel may be more prone to corrosion compared to aluminium, it requires minimal maintenance when crafted from high-grade materials, ensuring longevity and performance.
The natural oxidation layer on Corten steel typically provides ample protection under normal conditions, safeguarding the underlying material while maintaining its striking appearance.
Powder-coated steel offers enhanced corrosion resistance. To ensure its longevity, take care not to damage the coating during installation, further protecting against corrosion and preserving its beauty.
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.
