FAQs

Corten steel is a type of weathering steel that forms a stable rust-like surface when exposed to the elements. This protective layer prevents further corrosion making it extremely durable and low maintenance. It’s popular for garden edging because it develops a warm natural patina that blends beautifully with plants timber and stone while maintaining structural strength for decades.

Our Australian made steel and corten edging is designed to last a lifetime. Corten steel forms a self-protecting surface layer while our standard steel edging is treated for rust resistance and strength. Both options are far more durable than timber or plastic edging which can shift crack or deteriorate over time.

With over 15 years of experience in carpentry landscaping and steel fabrication we take pride in delivering results that look exceptional and perform reliably in any outdoor environment.

When corten steel begins its weathering process it can release a small amount of surface runoff which may temporarily stain light-coloured concrete or paving. We recommend allowing the corten to weather in a controlled environment before installation or designing the placement to avoid contact with porous surfaces. Once the patina has formed the material stabilises and the runoff ceases.

Yes corten steel edging is one of the best materials for landscape edging. It offers outstanding strength stability and a naturally appealing finish that evolves over time. Corten edging defines garden borders with precision and requires minimal upkeep making it a smart long-term investment for homeowners landscapers and builders.

Corten steel is designed to be low maintenance. Once the patina forms it seals the steel surface and prevents further corrosion. Routine cleaning is not necessary but it is best to avoid allowing water to pool around the base for long periods. Over time the corten steel will continue to age gracefully without the need for painting or coating.
