Discover the elegance of our Corten Steel Garden Edging—a stunning solution to beautifully delineate and enhance your garden's allure. Perfect for containing garden beds, defining lawns, and framing pathways, this edging evolves gracefully with age, offering a unique character that complements all garden styles, plantings, and architectural designs.
Corten steel represents a remarkable choice for garden edging, where its aesthetic appeal is beautifully matched by its strength, durability, and practicality. Over six months, it develops a water-tight patina that prevents further rusting, becoming increasingly robust over time. This protective layer not only fortifies the steel but also extends its lifespan, requiring no maintenance. Choose our garden edging for a solution as reliable as it is exquisite.
Installation of this edging is effortless and straightforward. No special tools are required—just a block of wood and a hammer make it simple for anyone to install with ease.
When is steel edging better than aluminium edging?
Both steel and aluminium edging offer exceptional durability and weather resistance, with each boasting unique advantages tailored to different landscaping needs.
Steel's superior strength makes it the ideal choice for areas exposed to heavy garden machinery or vehicles. Its robustness is perfect for retaining structures in raised borders, providing reliable and steadfast support.
Steel edging offers unparalleled versatility in color options, available in untreated, galvanized, Corten weathering steel, or powder-coated finishes in your preferred RAL color, allowing for a customizable and visually pleasing landscape.
What's the difference between untreated steel and Corten steel?
Both untreated and Corten steel develop an eye-catching orange-brown patina over time. However, Corten steel alloys accelerate this process, enriching its rustic and enduring appeal.
The patina not only enhances aesthetic appeal but offers practical benefits. Corten steel is favored by architects and landscapers for its quick-developing patina that blends seamlessly with organic and natural design concepts, fitting both traditional and contemporary settings with elegance.
How do I prevent Corten steel from staining surrounding stone or concrete?
Corten steel's weathering process can discolor water runoff, potentially staining light or porous surfaces. Fortunately, there are effective methods to mitigate this risk.
Pre-weathering steel before installation is key, minimizing 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 adjacent surfaces allows water to drain away effectively, preventing spread and potential staining, thus maintaining the pristine appearance of your landscape.
How much maintenance does steel edging need?
Steel, though more prone to corrosion than aluminium, requires minimal maintenance when crafted from high-grade materials, ensuring enduring performance.
The natural oxidation layer on Corten steel typically offers ample protection under normal circumstances, preserving the underlying material and reducing maintenance needs.
Powder-coated steel also boasts exceptional corrosion resistance. To ensure longevity, take care not to damage the powder coating during installation, further safeguarding against corrosion and extending the life of your edging.
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.
