Experience the exquisite grace of our Corten Steel Garden Edging—an extraordinary solution designed to accentuate and define your garden's allure. Ideal for containing garden beds, outlining lawns, and framing pathways, this edging matures with time, offering unique character that harmonizes with all garden styles, plantings, and architectural designs.
Corten steel stands out as an extraordinary choice for garden edging, combining visual appeal with strength, longevity, and functionality. Over six months, it forms a water-tight patina that halts further rust, growing stronger with time. This protective layer not only fortifies the steel but also extends its life, requiring zero maintenance. Select our garden edging for a solution as dependable as it is stunning.
Installing this edging is a breeze, offering effortless and straightforward setup. No specialized tools are necessary—simply use a block of wood and a hammer for simple installation that anyone can achieve.
When is steel edging preferable over aluminium edging?
Both steel and aluminium edging exhibit exceptional durability and weather resistance, each boasting unique benefits tailored to different landscaping needs.
Steel's unmatched strength makes it the ultimate choice for areas enduring heavy garden machinery or vehicle exposure. Its robustness is also ideal for retaining structures in raised borders, providing steadfast support.
Steel edging offers unrivaled versatility in color options, available in untreated, galvanized, Corten weathering steel, or powder-coated finishes in your preferred RAL color.
What distinguishes untreated steel from Corten steel?
Both untreated and Corten steel develop a striking orange-brown patina over time. Nevertheless, Corten steel alloys hasten this process, enhancing its visual appeal.
The patina not only boosts aesthetic allure but also provides practical advantages. Corten steel is highly regarded by architects and landscapers for its rapidly developing patina that seamlessly integrates with organic and natural design concepts, suitable for both traditional and contemporary settings.
How can I prevent Corten steel from staining nearby stone or concrete?
Corten steel's weathering process can discolor water runoff, potentially staining light or porous surfaces. Fortunately, methods exist to reduce this risk.
Pre-weathering steel prior to installation lessens 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 facilitates water drainage, thereby preventing spread and potential staining.
How much maintenance is required for steel edging?
While steel is more susceptible to corrosion than aluminium, it demands minimal maintenance when crafted from high-grade materials.
The natural oxidation layer on Corten steel generally provides ample protection under standard conditions, preserving the material beneath.
Powder-coated steel also boasts remarkable corrosion resistance. To ensure longevity, avoid damaging the powder coating during installation, as this further protects 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.
