Immerse yourself in the refined beauty of our Corten Steel Garden Edging—a breathtaking solution designed to clearly delineate and amplify your garden's allure. Perfect for containing garden beds, bordering lush lawns, and framing picturesque pathways, this edging transforms with age, offering a distinctive character that enhances every garden style, planting scheme, and architectural aesthetic.
Corten steel is an exceptional material for garden edging, boasting aesthetic allure, resilience, and functionality. Within just six months, it develops a protective, water-tight patina that halts further rusting, becoming more robust as time goes on. This protective layer not only strengthens the steel but also prolongs its lifespan, requiring absolutely no maintenance. Opt for our garden edging for a solution that is as dependable as it is stunning.
Effortless and straightforward installation is a highlight of this edging product. No special tools are needed—just a block of wood and a hammer make it accessible for anyone to install with ease.
When is steel edging a better choice than aluminium edging?
Steel and aluminium edging each provide remarkable durability and weather resistance, with unique strengths tailored to different landscaping needs.
Steel's formidable strength makes it the premier choice for areas subjected to heavy machinery or vehicles. Its robustness is also ideal for retaining structures in raised borders, offering steadfast support.
Steel edging brings unmatched versatility in color options, featuring finishes in untreated, galvanized, Corten weathering steel, or powder-coated in your selected RAL color, to suit your preferred aesthetic.
What's the difference between untreated steel and Corten steel?
Both untreated and Corten steel form a striking orange-brown patina over time; however, Corten steel alloys expedite this process, enhancing its visual appeal.
The patina not only elevates visual charm but also offers practical benefits. Corten steel is a favorite among architects and landscapers for its rapidly-developing patina that integrates seamlessly with organic and natural design concepts, suitable for both classic and modern settings.
How do I prevent Corten steel from staining surrounding stone or concrete?
Corten steel's weathering process may discolor water runoff, with potential to stain light or porous surfaces. Fortunately, effective methods exist to mitigate this risk.
Pre-weathering steel before installation can limit contact with other materials by ensuring the majority of oxidation occurs before installation. This can be expedited by applying specific chemicals to the steel's surface.
Creating a gravel border between the steel and adjacent surfaces allows water to drain away, thereby preventing spread and potential staining.
How much maintenance does steel edging need?
While steel is more susceptible to corrosion than aluminium, it requires minimal upkeep when crafted from high-quality materials.
The natural oxidation layer on Corten steel typically offers sufficient protection under regular conditions, safeguarding the material beneath.
Powder-coated steel also presents high resistance to corrosion. For lasting durability, it is important to avoid damaging the powder coating during installation, which will further guard 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.
