Discover the refined elegance of our Corten Steel Garden Edging—a stunning solution designed to delineate and elevate your garden's beauty. Perfect for containing garden beds, bordering lush lawns, and artistically framing pathways, this edging evolves with age, offering unique character that enhances all garden styles, plantings, and architectural designs.
Corten steel is an extraordinary material choice for garden edging, boasting aesthetic appeal alongside strength, durability, and practicality. Within six months, it develops a water-tight patina that halts further rusting, becoming increasingly robust over time. This protective layer not only fortifies the steel but also extends its lifespan, requiring no maintenance. Opt for our garden edging for a solution that is as dependable as it is beautiful.
Installing this edging is both effortless and straightforward. No special tools are needed—simply a block of wood and a hammer make it easy for anyone to achieve a professional installation.
When is steel edging better than aluminium edging?
Both steel and aluminium edging offer exceptional durability and resistance to weather, each boasting unique benefits tailored to different landscaping needs, providing versatile solutions.
Steel's superior strength makes it the perfect choice for areas subject to heavy garden machinery or vehicles. Its robustness is also ideal for retaining structures in raised borders, delivering reliable and steadfast support.
Steel edging provides unmatched 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 captivating orange-brown patina over time. However, Corten steel alloys accelerate this process, enriching its visual appeal and distinctive character.
The patina not only enhances aesthetic appeal but also offers practical benefits. Corten steel is a favorite among architects and landscapers for its quick-developing patina that effortlessly blends with organic and natural design concepts, suitable for 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, potentially staining light or porous surfaces. Fortunately, there are effective methods to mitigate this risk.
Pre-weathering the steel before installation minimizes contact with other materials by ensuring most oxidation occurs beforehand. You can 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 any spread of color and potential staining.
How much maintenance does steel edging need?
Steel, although more susceptible to corrosion than aluminium, requires minimal maintenance when crafted from high-grade materials, ensuring long-term beauty and functionality.
The natural oxidation layer on Corten steel typically provides ample protection under normal circumstances, preserving the underlying material with elegance and resilience.
Powder-coated steel also boasts high resistance to corrosion. To ensure its longevity, take care not to damage the powder coating during installation, further safeguarding it 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.
