Unveil the elegance of our Corten Steel Garden Edging—a stunning solution to beautifully delineate and elevate your garden's appeal. Perfectly designed for containing garden beds, bordering lush lawns, and framing picturesque pathways, this edging matures gracefully with age, offering a unique character that harmonizes with all garden styles, vibrant plantings, and architectural designs.
Corten steel is an extraordinary material choice for garden edging, offering a blend of aesthetic appeal, unmatched strength, durability, and practicality. Over six months, it develops a water-tight patina that halts further rusting, growing more 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 that is as dependable as it is beautiful.
Installing this edging is a breeze, requiring no special tools—just a simple block of wood and a hammer make it easy for anyone to set up.
When is steel edging the superior choice compared to aluminium edging?
Both steel and aluminium edging offer exceptional durability and remarkable weather resistance, each boasting unique advantages tailored to different landscaping needs.
Steel's exceptional strength makes it the premier choice for areas facing heavy garden machinery or vehicle exposure. Its robustness also makes it ideal for retaining structures in raised borders, providing steadfast support.
Steel edging offers unparalleled versatility in color options, available in untreated, galvanized, Corten weathering steel, or powder-coated finishes in your chosen RAL color.
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 allure significantly.
The patina not only augments aesthetic appeal but offers practical advantages. Corten steel is a favorite among architects and landscapers for its swift-developing patina that integrates seamlessly with organic and natural design concepts, suitable for both traditional and contemporary settings.
How do I prevent Corten steel from staining adjacent stone or concrete?
Corten steel's weathering process can discolor water runoff, potentially staining lighter or porous surfaces. Fortunately, there are effective methods to mitigate this risk.
Pre-weathering steel before installation minimizes contact with other materials by ensuring most oxidation occurs in advance. 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 efficiently, preventing the spread and potential staining.
How much maintenance does steel edging require?
Steel, though more susceptible to corrosion than aluminium, requires minimal maintenance when crafted from high-grade materials.
The natural oxidation layer on Corten steel typically provides ample protection under normal conditions, preserving the underlying material.
Powder-coated steel also boasts impressive 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.
