Unveil the exquisite elegance of our Corten Steel Garden Edging—a breathtaking solution to define and elevate your garden's magnificence. Ideal for containing garden beds, bordering verdant lawns, and framing picturesque pathways, this edging evolves gracefully with age. It develops a unique character that perfectly complements all garden styles, plantings, and architectural designs, offering both beauty and functionality.
Corten steel stands out as an exceptional choice for garden edging, combining aesthetic brilliance with strength, durability, and practicality. Over six months, it develops a water-tight patina that not only enhances visual appeal but also prevents further rusting, becoming more resilient over time. This protective layer fortifies the steel and extends its lifespan, requiring no maintenance. Opt for our garden edging—a solution that is as reliable as it is stunning.
Installing this edging is a breeze—effortless and straightforward. You don't need any special tools; just a block of wood and a hammer make it simple for anyone to install, ensuring your garden is beautifully bordered with ease.
When is steel edging better than aluminium edging?
Both steel and aluminium edging offer incredible durability and resistance to weather, each possessing unique strengths to cater to diverse landscaping requirements.
Steel's unmatched strength makes it the perfect choice for areas subjected to heavy garden machinery or vehicular traffic. Its robustness also makes it ideal for retaining structures in raised borders, providing steadfast and reliable support.
Steel edging provides unparalleled versatility in color options. It is available in untreated, galvanized, Corten weathering steel, or powder-coated finishes, allowing you to choose your preferred RAL color to suit your design vision.
What's the difference between untreated steel and Corten steel?
Both untreated and Corten steel develop a stunning orange-brown patina over time. However, Corten steel alloys accelerate this process, enhancing its aesthetic appeal and making it a sought-after choice.
The patina not only amplifies visual allure but offers practical benefits. Corten steel is highly favored by architects and landscapers for its rapidly developing patina, which blends harmoniously with organic and natural design concepts, making it suitable for both traditional and contemporary settings.
How do I prevent Corten steel from staining surrounding stone or concrete?
Corten steel's weathering process can cause discoloration in water runoff, potentially staining light or porous surfaces. Fortunately, there are effective methods to mitigate this risk.
Pre-weathering the steel before installation minimizes contact with other materials by ensuring the majority of oxidation occurs beforehand. You can also accelerate this process by applying specific chemicals to the steel's surface.
Creating a gravel barrier between the steel and adjacent surfaces allows water to drain away efficiently, preventing spread and potential staining from occurring.
How much maintenance does steel edging need?
Steel, although more susceptible to corrosion than aluminum, demands minimal maintenance when crafted from premium-grade materials.
The natural oxidation layer on Corten steel usually provides adequate protection under standard conditions, preserving the material beneath and requiring little to no upkeep.
Powder-coated steel also offers superb corrosion resistance. To ensure longevity, take care to avoid damaging the powder coating during installation, further shielding against corrosion and ensuring lasting beauty.
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.
