Unveil the sophisticated charm of our Corten Steel Garden Edging—a breathtaking choice that artfully defines and elevates the beauty of your garden. Ideal for containing garden beds, edging lawns, and accentuating pathways, this edging matures gracefully with time, developing a distinct character that harmonizes with any garden style, plant arrangement, or architectural design.
Corten steel is an extraordinary material for garden edging, boasting both stunning aesthetics and remarkable strength, durability, and practicality. Over a span of six months, it develops a protective, water-tight patina that halts further rusting, enhancing its robustness. This natural shield fortifies the steel and extends its lifespan, eliminating maintenance needs. Opt for our garden edging for a solution as dependable as it is visually appealing.
Installing this edging is a breeze—simple and straightforward. No specialized tools are needed; just use a block of wood and a hammer to effortlessly set it up.
When is steel edging better than aluminium edging?
Both steel and aluminium edging deliver outstanding durability and resistance to the elements, each offering distinct benefits tailored to diverse landscaping requirements.
Steel's exceptional strength makes it the perfect choice for areas subject to heavy garden machinery or vehicle traffic. Its durability is ideal for retaining structures in raised borders, providing steadfast support.
Steel edging offers unparalleled versatility in color selections, available in untreated, galvanized, Corten weathering steel, or powder-coated finishes in your desired RAL color.
What's the difference between untreated steel and Corten steel?
Both untreated and Corten steel naturally develop a captivating orange-brown patina over time. However, Corten steel alloys expedite this process, enhancing its visual allure.
The patina not only elevates visual appeal but also offers practical advantages. Corten steel is preferred by architects and landscapers for its swiftly forming patina that integrates effortlessly with organic and natural design themes, suitable for both traditional and contemporary settings.
How do I prevent Corten steel from staining surrounding stone or concrete?
Corten steel's weathering process may cause water runoff discoloration, potentially staining light or porous surfaces. Thankfully, there are strategies to mitigate this risk.
Pre-weathering the steel before installation minimizes contact with other materials by ensuring most oxidation occurs beforehand. Expedite this process with the application of specific chemicals to the steel's surface.
Creating a gravel buffer between the steel and adjacent surfaces facilitates efficient drainage, preventing spread and potential staining.
How much maintenance does steel edging need?
While more prone to corrosion than aluminium, high-grade steel requires minimal upkeep.
Under normal conditions, the natural oxidation layer on Corten steel generally provides ample protection, preserving the underlying material.
Powder-coated steel also demonstrates high corrosion resistance. To ensure longevity, take care not to damage the powder coating during installation, further safeguarding 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.
