Experience the exquisite allure of our Corten Steel Garden Edging-a breathtaking solution crafted to distinguish and elevate the beauty of your garden. Ideal for containing garden beds, bordering lush lawns, and framing inviting pathways, this edging gracefully matures with time, adding distinctive character that harmonizes with every garden style, planting scheme, and architectural design.
Corten steel is an extraordinary material for garden edging, combining aesthetic appeal with unrivaled strength, durability, and practicality. Over six months, it develops a naturally protective, water-tight patina, preventing further rusting and enhancing robustness. This enduring layer not only fortifies the steel but also prolongs its lifespan, requiring zero maintenance. Choose our garden edging for a solution that is as resilient as it is beautiful.
Installation of this edging is a breeze, designed for simplicity and ease. No specialized tools are necessary-just a block of wood and a hammer make installation straightforward for anyone.
When is steel edging the superior choice over aluminium edging?
Both steel and aluminium edging boast exceptional durability and weather resistance, each offering distinct advantages tailored to diverse landscaping needs.
Steel's impressive strength makes it the premier choice for areas exposed to heavy garden machinery or vehicles. Its durability is also ideal for retaining structures in raised borders, providing steadfast support.
Steel edging provides unmatched versatility in color options, available in untreated, galvanized, Corten weathering steel, or powder-coated finishes in your favorite RAL color selection.
What distinguishes untreated steel from Corten steel?
Both untreated and Corten steel develop a visually striking orange-brown patina over time, yet Corten steel alloys expedite this transformation, enhancing its allure.
The patina not only amplifies aesthetic appeal but also delivers practical advantages. Corten steel is preferred by architects and landscapers for its rapid patina development, blending effortlessly with organic and natural design concepts, fitting seamlessly into both traditional and contemporary settings.
How can I prevent Corten steel from staining nearby stone or concrete surfaces?
The weathering process of Corten steel may discolor water runoff, potentially staining lighter or porous surfaces. Fortunately, measures exist to reduce this risk.
Pre-weathering the steel prior to installation limits contact with other materials by ensuring most oxidation occurs in advance. Accelerate this process by applying specific chemical treatments to the steel's surface.
Creating a gravel border between the steel and adjacent surfaces allows water to drain efficiently, preventing spread and potential staining.
What level of maintenance does steel edging require?
While steel is more susceptible to corrosion than aluminium, it demands minimal maintenance when crafted from high-quality materials.
The natural oxidation layer on Corten steel generally offers sufficient protection under typical conditions, preserving the underlying material.
Powder-coated steel also boasts superb corrosion resistance. To ensure longevity, take care not to damage the powder coating during installation, offering additional protection 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.
