Product Description

Experience the refined beauty of our Corten Steel Garden Edging, a stunning solution for defining and enhancing your garden's allure. Ideal for containing garden beds, bordering lush lawns, and framing picturesque pathways, this edging evolves gracefully over time, offering a unique character that complements all garden styles, plantings, and architectural designs.
Corten steel is an extraordinary material choice for garden edging, where aesthetic allure meets formidable strength, durability, and practicality. Over a period of six months, it forms a water-tight patina that halts further rusting and becomes increasingly robust with time. This safeguarding layer not only fortifies the steel but also significantly extends its lifespan, requiring no maintenance. Opt for our garden edging for a solution that is both stunningly reliable and effortlessly beautiful.
The installation of this edging is designed to be effortless and straightforward. With no need for specialized tools, anyone can install it using just a block of wood and a hammer, making it accessible for all.
When is steel edging preferred over aluminium edging?
Both steel and aluminium edging offer phenomenal durability and weather resistance, each presenting distinct advantages tailored to different landscaping demands.
Steel's exceptional strength makes it the premier choice for areas exposed to heavy garden machinery or vehicular traffic. Its sturdiness also makes it ideal for retaining structures in raised borders, providing steadfast support.
Steel edging offers unmatched versatility in color options, with finishes available in untreated, galvanized, Corten weathering steel, or powder-coated choices in your favored RAL color.
What distinguishes untreated steel from Corten steel?
Both untreated and Corten steel develop a captivating orange-brown patina over time; however, Corten steel alloys expedite this process, enhancing its visual appeal.
The patina not only elevates aesthetic appeal but delivers practical benefits. Corten steel is a preferred choice among architects and landscapers for its swift-developing patina that harmonizes effortlessly with organic and natural design elements, suitable for both traditional and contemporary settings.
How can I prevent Corten steel from staining adjacent stone or concrete surfaces?
Corten steel's weathering process can cause water runoff discoloration, which may stain light or porous surfaces, but this risk can be effectively mitigated.
Pre-weathering the steel before installation minimizes contact with other materials by ensuring that most oxidation occurs in advance. This process can be accelerated by applying specific chemicals to the steel's surface.
Creating a gravel border between the steel and nearby surfaces facilitates water drainage, preventing spread and potential staining.
How much maintenance is required for steel edging?
While steel is more susceptible to corrosion than aluminium, it 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 core material.
Powder-coated steel also offers superior corrosion resistance. To ensure enduring longevity, care should be taken to avoid damaging the powder coating during installation, thus enhancing protection against corrosion.

FAQ

Why is edging needed for hard and soft landscaping?

Most hard landscaping surfaces that are walked or driven on need some form of edging. This serves various functions, from the practical to the aesthetic:

• To protect against edge damage
• To provide a level guide for screeding resin-bound and wet-pour surfaces
• To prevent sideways movement of paving laid on tamped sand
• To create a step up or down between surfaces of a different height
• To contain loose aggregates such as gravel and chippings from spreading into surrounding areas
• To create a clear demarcation between contrasting types or colours of hard landscaping.

What is the best edging material for paving?

Most paving is laid on tamped sand, sometimes with 'dot and dab' concrete to hold it more firmly in place. Without a stable edge, the pavers will eventually become dislodged due to foot or vehicle traffic and ground movement. This will lead to other problems:

• Gaps opening between the pavers will encourage weeds, grass and moss to grow.
• As the pavers loosen the surface will become unstable and create trip hazards
• If the paved area is adjacent to soft landscaping (lawns or planted beds) the edge will start to break away

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.
