What is Corten Steel?

Corten Steel, also known as weather resistant steel, is a very strong steel alloy. As soon as Corten Steel garden planter is exposed to the elements it will naturally weather and develop a protective layer of rust. This natural coating of rust provides protection against further corrosion. Our Corten Steel products are delivered in an un-rusted state and the weathering process will take about 4-5 months to complete.

If you simply cannot wait, use our rust accelerator.

Corten Planter

The CARREZ corten steel planter will add warmth and boldness to any garden, thanks to the orange-brown patina on the metal. This patina is formed by a natural layer of rust. Another name for corten steel is weathering steel: weather conditions have a positive effect on this planter.

Advantages

  • 5-year guarantee.
  • Corten steel planters are very robust, hard-wearing, weatherproof, low-maintenance and durable.
  • The planter has hidden feet and drainage holes. This allows it to float a little above the ground (15 mm) and provides optimal drainage.
  • The corten steel has a standard thickness of 2 mm. It can also be supplied in other thicknesses.
  • The planter can be customised.
  • Products are delivered without rust. The corten steel rusting process takes about 4-5 months, depending on weather conditions.
  • The rust can be fixed by applying Owatrol. This is a penetrating rust inhibitor that forms a protective anti-rust coating. Owatrol protects the planter and stops the rust on corten steel flaking off.

Important Information

  • Products should be unpacked immediately upon receipt to release any moisture trapped inside the packaging. If the product is left in its packaging, it may develop uneven rust patches.
  • Ensure proper drainage.
  • Do not use an overflow pipe; no excess water should remain in the corten steel planter. This can cause the metal to corrode due to the interaction of oxygen and soil.
  • Do not use hydro pellets: they retain moisture.
  • We do not recommend using corten steel within 2 km of a coastline.
  • The weathering process may cause rust run-off.
  • The guarantee expires if you drill or grind in a way that is not specified.
  • The standard material thickness of our Corten Steel planters is 2mm, although they can also be produced in 3-4 and 5mm. Corten Steel planters are not recommended to be used in combination with overflow pipes.

Planting Advice

  • Cover the bottom of the planter with a layer of gravel (approx. 10 cm, Ø35 mm grading).
  • Place a permeable anti-root membrane over the gravel.
  • Cover the membrane with soil suitable for your chosen plants.
  • Do not use an overflow pipe; no water should remain in the corten steel planter.
