Unveil the elegance of our Corten Steel Garden Edging—a breathtaking solution designed to define and enhance your garden's natural beauty. Ideal for containing garden beds, bordering lawns, and framing picturesque pathways, this edging matures with grace, offering a distinctive character that harmonizes effortlessly with diverse garden styles, plantings, and architectural designs.
Corten steel stands as a remarkable choice for garden edging, admired for its aesthetic allure, strength, durability, and practicality. Over a span of six months, it develops a protective, water-tight patina that prevents further rusting, growing more robust with time. This protective layer not only fortifies the steel but also extends its lifespan while requiring no maintenance. Opt for our garden edging for a solution that embodies reliability and beauty.
Installing this edging is as effortless as it is straightforward. No special tools are necessary—simply use a block of wood and a hammer to make the installation process uncomplicated for anyone.
When is steel edging a superior choice compared to aluminium edging?
Both steel and aluminium edging offer exceptional durability and weather resistance, with each offering unique advantages tailored to different landscaping needs.
Steel's superior strength makes it the ideal option for areas exposed to heavy garden machinery or vehicles. Its robustness is perfect for retaining structures in raised borders, providing reliable and steadfast support.
Steel edging provides unparalleled versatility in color options, available in untreated, galvanized, Corten weathering steel, or powder-coated finishes in your preferred RAL color, ensuring it complements any landscape design.
What distinguishes untreated steel from Corten steel?
Both untreated and Corten steel develop a striking orange-brown patina over time. However, Corten steel alloys accelerate this process, further enhancing its visual appeal.
The patina not only boosts aesthetic appeal but also offers practical benefits. Corten steel is a favorite among architects and landscapers for its rapidly developing patina that integrates seamlessly with organic and natural design concepts, suiting both traditional and contemporary settings.
How can I prevent Corten steel from staining surrounding stone or concrete surfaces?
Corten steel's weathering process can discolor water runoff, potentially staining light or porous surfaces. Fortunately, effective methods exist to mitigate this risk.
Pre-weathering the 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, safeguarding surrounding areas.
Creating a gravel border between the steel and adjacent surfaces allows water to drain away efficiently, preventing the spread of runoff and potential staining.
What level of maintenance does steel edging require?
Though steel is more prone to corrosion than aluminium, when crafted from high-grade materials, it requires minimal maintenance to maintain its integrity.
The natural oxidation layer on Corten steel typically provides adequate protection under normal conditions, preserving the underlying material beautifully.
Powder-coated steel also boasts high corrosion resistance. To ensure longevity, take care not to damage the powder coating during installation, offering further 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.
