Discover the elegance of our Corten Steel Garden Edging-a stunning solution to delineate and enhance your garden's beauty. Perfect for containing garden beds, bordering lawns, and framing pathways, this edging evolves with age, offering unique character that complements all garden styles, plantings, and architectural designs.
Corten steel is a remarkable material choice for garden edging. Its aesthetic appeal is matched by its strength, durability, and practicality. Over six months, it develops a water-tight patina that prevents further rusting, becoming more robust over time. This protective layer not only fortifies the steel but also extends its life, requiring no maintenance. Choose our garden edging for a solution that is as reliable as it is beautiful.
Installation of this edging is effortless and straightforward. No special tools are required-just a block of wood and a hammer make it simple for anyone to install.
When is steel edging better than aluminium edging?
Both steel and aluminium edging offer exceptional durability and weather resistance, each boasting unique advantages to suit different landscaping needs.
Steel's superior strength makes it the ideal choice for areas exposed to heavy garden machinery or vehicles. Its robustness also makes it perfect for retaining structures in raised borders, providing reliable support.
Steel edging offers unparalleled versatility in color options, available in untreated, galvanized, Corten weathering steel, or powder-coated finishes in your preferred RAL color.
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 process, enriching its appeal.
The patina not only enhances aesthetic appeal but offers practical benefits. Corten steel is favored by architects and landscapers for its quick-developing patina that blends seamlessly with organic and natural design concepts, fitting both traditional and contemporary settings.
How do I prevent Corten steel from staining surrounding stone or concrete?
Corten steel's weathering process can discolor water runoff, potentially staining light or porous surfaces. Fortunately, there are methods to mitigate this risk.
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.
Creating a gravel border between the steel and adjacent surfaces allows water to drain away, preventing spread and potential staining.
How much maintenance does steel edging need?
Steel, though more prone to corrosion than aluminium, requires minimal maintenance when made from high-grade materials.
The natural oxidation layer on Corten steel typically provides sufficient protection under normal circumstances, preserving the underlying material.
Powder-coated steel also boasts high corrosion resistance. To ensure longevity, take care not to damage the powder coating during installation, further safeguarding 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.
