Immerse yourself in the sophisticated elegance of our Corten Steel Garden Edging, a brilliant solution for defining and enhancing your garden's allure. Ideal for containing garden beds, framing pathways, and bordering lawns, this edging transforms with age, creating a unique character that harmonizes with all garden styles, plantings, and architectural designs.
Corten steel stands out as an extraordinary choice for garden edging. Its visual appeal is matched by its exceptional strength, durability, and practicality. Over six months, it develops a water-tight patina that prevents further rusting, becoming increasingly robust over time. This protective layer not only fortifies the steel but also extends its lifespan, ensuring it requires no maintenance. Opt for our garden edging for a solution that is as reliable as it is visually stunning.
Installing this edging is a breeze with its effortless and straightforward process. No special tools are needed—just a block of wood and a hammer make it easy for anyone to set up.
When is steel edging the superior choice over aluminium edging?
Both steel and aluminium edging offer remarkable durability and weather resistance, each bringing unique benefits tailored to different landscaping requirements.
Steel's unmatched strength makes it the perfect selection for areas exposed to heavy garden machinery or vehicles. Its robustness is also ideal for retaining structures in raised borders, delivering dependable support.
Steel edging provides unparalleled versatility with a wide range of color options, including untreated, galvanized, Corten weathering steel, or powder-coated finishes in your preferred RAL color.
What distinguishes untreated steel from Corten steel?
Both untreated and Corten steel develop an attractive orange-brown patina over time. However, Corten steel alloys expedite this process, enhancing its aesthetic allure.
The patina not only boosts visual appeal but also delivers practical advantages. Architects and landscapers highly favor Corten steel for its rapidly developing patina that effortlessly integrates with organic and natural design elements, suitable for both traditional and modern settings.
How can I prevent Corten steel from staining adjacent stone or concrete surfaces?
The weathering process of Corten steel may cause water runoff discoloration, potentially staining light or porous surfaces. Fortunately, there are effective methods to mitigate this risk.
Pre-weathering the steel before installation significantly reduces contact with other materials by ensuring most oxidation occurs beforehand. Expedite this process by applying specialized chemicals to the steel's surface.
Creating a gravel border between the steel and adjacent surfaces effectively channels water away, preventing the spread and potential of staining.
How much upkeep does steel edging require?
Steel, although more susceptible to corrosion than aluminium, demands minimal upkeep when constructed from high-quality materials.
The natural oxidation layer on Corten steel generally offers adequate protection under standard conditions, preserving the underlying material beautifully.
Powder-coated steel boasts excellent corrosion resistance. To ensure longevity, exercise care not to damage the powder coating during installation, providing 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.
