Unveil the captivating elegance of our Corten Steel Garden Edging—a breathtaking solution crafted to delineate and enhance your garden's inherent beauty. Ideal for containing lush garden beds, defining pristine lawns, and accentuating charming pathways, this edging matures gracefully over time, evolving to offer unique character that harmonizes with diverse garden styles, plantings, and architectural designs.
Corten steel stands as an exceptional material choice for garden edging, characterized by its aesthetic allure, strength, and unmatched practicality. Over a span of six months, it develops a stunning, water-tight patina that inhibits further rusting, becoming increasingly robust. This protective layer not only fortifies the steel against the elements but also extends its lifespan, requiring no maintenance. Choose our garden edging for a solution that is as timelessly reliable as it is visually captivating.
Installing this edging is incredibly easy and straightforward. Requiring no special tools, you simply need a block of wood and a hammer to achieve a seamless installation, making it accessible for anyone.
When is steel edging better than aluminium edging?
Steel and aluminium edging both provide exceptional durability and weather resistance, each offering distinct advantages tailored to diverse landscaping needs.
Steel's unparalleled strength makes it the optimal choice for areas subject to heavy garden machinery or vehicle exposure. Its robustness is ideal for retaining structures in raised borders, offering dependable support.
Steel edging provides unrivaled versatility in color options, available in untreated, galvanized, Corten weathering steel, or powder-coated finishes in your preferred RAL color, tailored to your design vision.
What's the difference between untreated steel and Corten steel?
Both untreated and Corten steel develop an eye-catching orange-brown patina over time. However, Corten steel alloys accelerate this aging process, enriching its visual appeal with a more dynamic character.
The patina enhances aesthetic appeal while delivering practical benefits. Corten steel is favored by architects and landscapers for its quick-developing patina that integrates seamlessly with organic and natural design concepts, suitable for both traditional and contemporary settings.
How do I prevent Corten steel from staining surrounding stone or concrete?
Corten steel's weathering can discolor water runoff, potentially staining light or porous surfaces. Fortunately, there are effective methods to mitigate this risk and maintain visual clarity.
Pre-weathering steel before installation minimizes contact with other materials by ensuring most oxidation occurs beforehand. Accelerate this process by applying specific chemicals to the steel's surface, preparing it for seamless integration.
Creating a gravel border between the steel and adjacent surfaces allows water to drain away freely, preventing spread and potential staining, thus preserving the surrounding aesthetic.
How much maintenance does steel edging need?
Steel, though more susceptible to corrosion than aluminium, requires minimal maintenance when fabricated from high-grade materials, ensuring long-lasting performance.
The natural oxidation layer on Corten steel typically offers sufficient protection under normal conditions, effectively preserving the underlying material without the need for extensive upkeep.
Powder-coated steel also boasts high corrosion resistance. To ensure longevity, take care not to damage the powder coating during installation, thus providing additional safeguard 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.
