Product Description

Uncover the elegance with our Corten Steel Garden Edging—a remarkable solution designed to define and embellish your garden's beauty. Perfect for containing garden beds, bordering lush lawns, and framing scenic pathways, this edging matures gracefully, offering a distinct character that complements every garden style, planting, and architectural design.
Corten steel stands as an extraordinary material choice for garden edging. Its aesthetic allure is equaled by its strength, durability, and practicality. Over just six months, it develops a water-tight patina that halts further corrosion, growing sturdier over time. This protective layer not only reinforces the steel but also prolongs its lifespan, necessitating no maintenance. Opt for our garden edging for a solution as dependable as it is beautiful.
Installing this edging is both effortless and straightforward. No need for special tools—simply a block of wood and a hammer make installation simple for anyone to accomplish.
When is steel edging superior to aluminium edging?
Both steel and aluminium edging offer exceptional durability and resistance to weather, each providing unique advantages tailored to diverse landscaping needs.
Steel's unmatched strength makes it the perfect choice for areas frequently exposed to heavy garden machinery or vehicles. Its robustness also makes it ideal for retaining structures in elevated borders, providing unwavering support.
Steel edging offers unmatched flexibility in color options, available in untreated, galvanized, Corten weathering steel, or powder-coated finishes in your desired RAL color.
What's the distinction between untreated steel and Corten steel?
Both untreated and Corten steel develop an appealing orange-brown patina over time. However, Corten steel alloys expedite this process, enhancing its allure.
The patina not only augments aesthetic appeal but provides practical advantages. Corten steel is a favorite among architects and landscapers for its rapidly developing patina that harmonizes effortlessly with organic and natural design concepts, suiting both traditional and contemporary settings.
How do I prevent Corten steel from staining nearby stone or concrete?
Corten steel's weathering process may cause water runoff that could stain light or porous surfaces. Fortunately, there are strategies to mitigate this risk.
Pre-weathering the steel before installation minimizes contact with other materials by ensuring most oxidation transpires in advance. Accelerate this process by applying specific chemicals to the steel's surface.
Establishing 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 require?
While steel is more prone to corrosion than aluminium, it demands minimal maintenance when crafted from high-grade materials.
The natural oxidation layer on Corten steel generally provides ample protection under typical conditions, preserving the underlying material.
Powder-coated steel also boasts heightened corrosion resistance. To ensure longevity, take care to avoid damaging the powder coating during installation, further safeguarding against corrosion.

FAQ

Why is edging needed for hard and soft landscaping?

Most hard landscaping surfaces that are walked or driven on need some form of edging. This serves various functions, from the practical to the aesthetic:

• To protect against edge damage
• To provide a level guide for screeding resin-bound and wet-pour surfaces
• To prevent sideways movement of paving laid on tamped sand
• To create a step up or down between surfaces of a different height
• To contain loose aggregates such as gravel and chippings from spreading into surrounding areas
• To create a clear demarcation between contrasting types or colours of hard landscaping.

What is the best edging material for paving?

Most paving is laid on tamped sand, sometimes with 'dot and dab' concrete to hold it more firmly in place. Without a stable edge, the pavers will eventually become dislodged due to foot or vehicle traffic and ground movement. This will lead to other problems:

• Gaps opening between the pavers will encourage weeds, grass and moss to grow.
• As the pavers loosen the surface will become unstable and create trip hazards
• If the paved area is adjacent to soft landscaping (lawns or planted beds) the edge will start to break away

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.
