Corten Landscape Edge

Corten steel is ideal for garden edging. It creates a rigid barrier for garden beds, lawns, pathways, terraces and much more. If you’re looking for a reliable material for garden edging, Corten steel is a great choice.

Corten edging is a steel alloy made up of copper, phosphorus, silicon, and nickel, with carbon steel.

Corten garden edging uses Corten steel, a steel alloy designed to develop a thin layer of rust on the surface when exposed to air and moisture, creating a natural protective patina. This makes the edging long-lasting and ideal for outdoor use.

Corten steel edging can take anywhere from six months to two years to form a rusted patina layer.

At Gardening Direct, our Corten edging comes with a natural pre-rust layer. This means your garden edging has been exposed to controlled conditions to develop a rusted layer, so it arrives with the patina already formed.

Corten edging is made of Corten weathering steel. This gives your Corten edging a natural pre-rust, weather-resistant finish, with no need for a painted coating.

Depending on the weather and maintenance, Corten steel edging can last anywhere from 10 to 50 years. With this kind of lifespan, you’ll know you’re getting your money’s worth.

Other than our range of differing heights, each length of edging remains the same. Each length measures 1.1 metres, allowing 100mm to overlap between pieces for a seamless join.

We offer Corten edging in three different heights: 100 mm, 125 mm and 200 mm.

The recommended thickness for Corten garden edging is 2.0 mm. This gives your edging just enough rigidity to withstand the elements and become a lasting barrier for your garden.

Corten garden edging is simple and easy to install. With integrated spikes, you can drive it straight into the ground with no extra pins, pegs or joiners.

First, dig an even trench. Then simply set your edging in place and fill the trench back in. If you’re working around curves, bend each length gently to shape it without kinking.

All you’ll need is a rubber mallet, a shovel and a bit of patience.

Securing Corten steel edging is simple. Each length has a seamless locking mechanism at each end. Simply slot the end of the next length into this locking mechanism to secure your garden edging.

The most common mistakes to look out for when installing your Corten garden edging are not keeping your trench at a consistent depth and packing your edging loosely.

An uneven trench depth will make your edging look untidy, while loose soil will make it less secure overall.
