Experience the refined elegance of our Corten Steel Garden Edging—a breathtaking solution to define and amplify your garden's beauty. It is the perfect choice for containing garden beds, bordering lawns, and framing pathways. This edging gracefully ages over time, developing a unique character that harmonizes with all garden styles, plantings, and architectural designs.
Corten steel is an extraordinary choice for garden edging, renowned for its aesthetic allure, strength, durability, and practicality. Over a period of six months, it develops a protective, water-tight patina that halts further rusting, growing increasingly robust over time. This layer not only reinforces the steel's structure but also extends its lifespan, eliminating the need for maintenance. Opt for our garden edging for a solution that marries reliability with beauty.
Installation of this edging is a breeze, requiring minimal effort and expertise. No special tools are necessary—just a block of wood and a hammer suffice, making it accessible for anyone to install with ease.
When is steel edging better than aluminium edging?
Both steel and aluminium edging deliver outstanding durability and weather resistance, each offering unique benefits tailored to different landscaping requirements.
Steel's exceptional strength makes it the prime choice for areas subject to heavy garden machinery or vehicle traffic. Its durability also makes it ideal for retaining structures in raised borders, offering steadfast support.
Steel edging provides unrivaled versatility in color options, available in untreated, galvanized, Corten weathering steel, or powder-coated finishes in your chosen RAL hue.
What's the difference between untreated steel and Corten steel?
Both untreated and Corten steel develop a striking orange-brown patina over time. However, Corten steel alloys expedite this process, augmenting its visual appeal.
The patina not only boosts aesthetic charm but delivers practical advantages. Architects and landscapers favor Corten steel for its rapidly developing patina that integrates seamlessly with organic and natural design themes, suited for both traditional and modern settings.
How do I prevent Corten steel from staining surrounding stone or concrete?
The weathering process of Corten steel can tint water runoff, potentially staining light or porous surfaces. Fortunately, strategies exist to reduce this risk.
Pre-weathering steel before installation reduces contact with other materials by ensuring most oxidation occurs in advance. Accelerate this by applying specific chemicals to the steel's surface.
Incorporating a gravel border between the steel and adjacent surfaces allows water to drain away, averting spread and potential staining.
How much maintenance does steel edging need?
Steel, while more susceptible to corrosion than aluminium, requires minimal upkeep when crafted from high-quality materials.
The natural oxidation layer on Corten steel typically offers robust protection under standard conditions, safeguarding the underlying material.
Powder-coated steel also provides excellent corrosion resistance. To maximize longevity, ensure the powder coating remains undamaged during installation, further protecting 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.
