Experience the refined elegance of our Corten Steel Garden Edging—an exquisite solution designed to seamlessly delineate and enhance your garden's allure. Ideal for containing garden beds, framing lawns, and outlining pathways, this edging evolves gracefully with age, bringing unique character to all garden styles, plantings, and architectural themes.
Corten steel represents a distinguished material choice for garden edging, combining aesthetic brilliance with strength, durability, and practical use. Within six months, it develops a protective water-tight patina, preventing further rusting and becoming more robust over time. This shield not only enhances the steel's durability but also extends its lifespan, demanding no maintenance. Opt for our garden edging for a solution as reliable as it is stunning.
Installing this edging is a breeze, requiring no special tools. A simple block of wood and a hammer are all it takes for effortless, straightforward setup, making it accessible to everyone.
When is steel edging better than aluminium edging?
Both steel and aluminium edging exhibit remarkable durability and weather resistance, each offering distinct advantages tailored to various landscaping requirements.
Steel's superior resilience makes it the preferred choice for areas subjected to heavy garden machinery or vehicle traffic. Its strength makes it ideal for retaining structures in raised borders, providing dependable support.
Steel edging boasts unmatched versatility in color selections, available in untreated, galvanized, Corten weathering steel, or powder-coated finishes in your desired RAL color.
What's the difference between untreated steel and Corten steel?
Both untreated and Corten steel naturally develop a striking orange-brown patina over time. However, Corten steel alloys expedite this transformation, enriching its aesthetic allure.
The patina not only enhances visual appeal but also offers practical advantages. Corten steel is favored by architects and landscapers for its quick-developing patina that harmonizes with organic and natural design principles, suitable for both traditional and modern settings.
How do I prevent Corten steel from staining surrounding stone or concrete?
Corten steel's weathering process may cause water runoff to discolor, potentially staining light or porous surfaces. However, there are effective ways to mitigate this concern.
Pre-weathering the steel prior to installation reduces contact with other materials by ensuring most oxidation occurs beforehand. This can be accelerated with specific chemicals applied to the steel's surface.
Creating a gravel barrier between the steel and adjacent surfaces facilitates water drainage, preventing spread and potential staining.
How much maintenance does steel edging need?
Though steel is more susceptible to corrosion than aluminium, when crafted from high-grade materials, it demands minimal maintenance.
The natural oxidation layer on Corten steel typically provides ample protection under normal conditions, preserving the material beneath.
Powder-coated steel similarly exhibits high corrosion resistance. To ensure longevity, take care not to damage the powder coating during installation, further protecting 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.
