Unveil the elegance of our Corten Steel Garden Edging—a stunning solution designed to delineate and elevate your garden's aesthetic beauty. Ideally suited for containing garden beds, bordering lawns, and elegantly framing pathways, this edging matures over time, acquiring a distinctive character that complements all garden styles, plantings, and architectural designs.
Corten steel is an exceptional choice for garden edging, marrying aesthetic allure with extraordinary strength, durability, and practicality. Over six months, it develops a water-tight patina that prevents further rusting, becoming increasingly robust with time. This protective layer not only strengthens the steel but extends its longevity, requiring no maintenance. Choose our garden edging for a solution that is as dependable as it is beautiful.
Installing this edging is an effortless and straightforward process. No special tools are required—just a block of wood and a hammer make it simple for anyone to install.
When is steel edging better than aluminium edging?
Both steel and aluminium edging offer exceptional durability and weather resistance, each boasting unique advantages tailored to different landscaping needs.
Steel's superior strength makes it the perfect choice for areas exposed to heavy garden machinery or vehicles. Its robustness also lends itself ideally to retaining structures in raised borders, providing unwavering 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 seamless match with your design vision.
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, enhancing its visual appeal.
The patina not only enhances aesthetic appeal but offers practical benefits. Corten steel is favored by architects and landscapers for its swiftly developing patina that harmonizes effortlessly with organic and natural design concepts, fitting both traditional and contemporary settings.
How do I prevent Corten steel from staining surrounding stone or concrete?
Corten steel's weathering process can discolor water runoff, which may stain light or porous surfaces. Fortunately, there are methods to mitigate this risk.
Pre-weathering steel before installation minimizes 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.
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 its longevity.
The natural oxidation layer on Corten steel typically provides ample protection under standard conditions, preserving the underlying material.
Powder-coated steel also boasts high corrosion resistance. To ensure longevity, take care not to damage the powder coating during installation, thereby 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.
